What we stand (and walk) for

If you look at the world and think ‘Whoa, that’s confusing!’ – you’re not alone.

We’re Street Wisdom - inventors of a creative walking practice that’s going to help. Help find calm in the noise. Remember what matters. Set a direction through complexity.

We’re a global community. We believe in feeling our way. In taking active steps to the futures we want.  In joy for no reason. 

When the world says walk, we wander. When we get stuck, we get up and get out. To find fresh answers. To feel fully alive. 

You’re not alone. We’re Street Wisdom. Let’s find our way. Together.

About us

Street Wisdom is the brainchild of David Pearl, an innovator in business, the arts and social change.  Having spent years exploring how our urban environment can deliver fresh insight, in 2013 he set up the first Street Wisdom event in Covent Garden, London. Since then, the movement has grown to over 87 countries and counting, led by volunteers sharing the power of Street Wisdom free of charge through communities across the globe. We’re on a mission to bring inspiration to every street on the planet!

Street Wisdom for Business

We also design bespoke business events to help organisations find creative ways through complex challenges. Partnering with businesses like this helps us bring Street Wisdom to the world free. Some of the organisations we’ve worked with include these below. If you’re interested in letting us bring Street Wisdom to your business, contact us.

  • “The street is a powerful place. The session with David was the best-reviewed item of our Google Summer Fest!”

  • “Street Wisdom was the perfect finale to our two day leadership event. The energy and clarity participants gained from the facilitated WalkShop helped land learnings from the whole event for our business as well as giving space for personal reflection. Wanderful!”

  • “I was thinking differently too, making my problem solving flow more and less filtered.”
