Monthly meet & hike

Not another meeting

Talking side by side, while walking, is often easier than talking face to face across a table — there's less pressure, something to look at besides each other, and a natural rhythm to the conversation. It's also genuinely good for you: movement and time outdoors are two of the more reliably evidenced ways to shift mood and clear the mind, covered in more depth in the "meditation in motion" piece on the blog. This is that idea, in practice, once a month.

Ground rules

• 01 Free, no booking fee. Just turn up.
• 02 Public, well-marked routes — nothing remote or technical, especially while the group's still growing.
• 03 Meet at a public point (car park or well-known landmark) — never a private address.
• 04 No pressure to talk about anything. Some of the best conversations happen an hour in, unplanned. Some days, nobody needs to say much at all, and that's fine too.
• 05 Dress for the weather. Check the forecast before you leave.
• 06 This is peer support in motion, not a clinical or supervised activity — the same boundaries from the online community apply here too.
• 07 If you're struggling before, during, or after — say so. Nobody here will think less of you for it.
