Urban Curiosity Walkshop

Life is fast.
How much are you missing in the race from here to there?

If you're feeling stretched, overwhelmed or creatively stuck, an Urban Curiosity Walkshop offers space to pause. These two-hour experiences in London are an invitation to slow down, look up and reconnect with yourself and your surroundings.

They are not tours. Not hikes. Not performances.

They are gentle, spacious opportunities to breathe deeply and see the world with fresh eyes.

Explore the Streets With a Fresh Perspective

Step away from the screen.
Put your phone on airplane mode.
Let your curiosity guide you.

Each walkshop gently leads you through streets, green spaces and overlooked corners of the city. These are places you might pass daily but rarely see. Along the way, you’ll:

look

up instead of down into a glowing screen

breathe

deeply, notice more and welcome chance encounters

reconnect

with your environment through simple prompts and observational exercises

leave

with tools to spark everyday curiosity and reframe your relationship with technology

Walkshops aren’t about covering ground quickly. They’re about moving through the world with more intention and less distraction. With every step, you reclaim a little more of your attention and your creative confidence.

What Happens After?

Words, concepts, pitches, travel plans, mind maps and ideas—any of these may follow.

There’s no pressure to share or produce. Just space to reflect, be still and remember what really matters to you.

Why Walking?

Walking isn’t just good for your body. It’s good for your mind. Research shows that creativity increases by up to 60% when you move your feet. Walking helps you think differently. It sharpens your senses, clears your head and creates space for new ideas to emerge.

That’s why walkshops blend movement, reflection and creativity. A simple but powerful combination to support wellbeing, focus and imagination.

Who Is It For?

Walkshops are designed for anyone who needs time to reflect and reset. 
They are especially valuable for:


  • Busy minds in search of calm and clarity

  • Creative professionals feeling stuck

  • Community leaders and changemakers exploring what’s next

  • Anyone feeling overwhelmed or creatively blocked

What You’ll Leave With

  • A clearer mind and fresh perspective

  • Simple mindfulness tools to use in daily life

  • Ideas you can apply to your work or creative practice

  • A sense of renewed energy, purpose and creative wellbeing

Why now?

When life feels relentless, the most radical thing you can do is pause. But stepping away, even for an hour or two, can be the reset you need.

The Walkshop offers you space to reflect, reconnect and return to your work with fresh energy and new ideas.

Walkshops for Teams and VCSE Organisations

How often do your people get space to think differently, together?

In mission-driven work, it’s easy for teams to feel stretched, siloed or stuck in reactive mode. 
The Urban Curiosity Walkshop offers a gentle, restorative space for collaboration, reflection and creative thinking.

These sessions are particularly valuable for:

  • Teams navigating change or complexity

  • Cross-organisational partnerships seeking deeper understanding

  • Leaders or staff who often work in isolation

Walkshops can support your team to:

explore

different ways of thinking and
working together

return

with practical tools to support wellbeing and resilience

pause

and reflect beyond the
day-to-day

build

stonger, more human
connections

If you’re planning a staff away day, a board retreat or a creative session for collaborators, we can design a walkshop to suit your needs.

Curious? Let’s shape something meaningful together.

  • “Clare has a relaxed yet professional approach to facilitation which instils confidence in people and puts them at ease. She brings a sense of joy and curiosity to the sessions which I found inspirational and have tried to carry with me into my work. I left each Walkshop feeling energised and empowered to think differently, both in and beyond work. I think the sessions helped me and my colleagues to show and see different sides to ourselves. We also came away with a greater understanding of each other's perspectives and needs, particularly in relation to collaboration and partnership working."
