What’s Street Wisdom again?
Street Wisdom is a creative practice you add to your everyday walk, and we share it every week for FREE in our online and in-person Walkshops.
Very simply put, you take a question for a walk to help you find fresh inspiration. We believe answers are everywhere, all around us, especially when we’re tuned in to our environment. Your question can be about anything - life or work or love or community or the planet or everything in between. Anything you want some fresh inspiration for.
It might be…
A question about work - What’s my next product innovation? How can I best lead my team? How can I achieve more with less energy?
A question about life - What should my next hobby be? How can I meet new people? What don’t I know already? Which of my values do I want to explore more?
A question about love - Should I stay with my partner? Should we move to another city? How can I bring all of me to my relationship?
A question about community - How can I best support my local neighbourhood? What’s being called of me in my local area? How can I meet people who don’t share my opinions?
A question about the planet - What do I need to do to help nature flourish? Which volunteering projects shall I contribute to? What does the planet want me to do next?
The idea is that you take your question for a walk and - once you’ve tuned in to the world around you through our easy three-part process (which you learn on a FREE Walkshop) - the streets send you fresh answers that directly relate to your question through signs and signals.
Suddenly, the world is rich with meaningful sounds, sights, images, patterns, words, posters, overheard conversations, colours, animals, birds, nature, cloud formations (looking up is great!) - all kinds of things.
The world is there for you, if you keep your mind and heart open!
Try it right now!
This curious practice we’ve developed and refined over the last 15 years is backed by the latest mindfulness, neuroscience, creativity and wellness theory.
To give it a go right now, you can try our five-minute taster, or sign up for an online or in-person Walkshop (yes, walking workshop!) to practise it fully. Once you’ve learned it, you’ve got a skill for life!
Fancy becoming a Street Wisdom host?
It’s really rewarding becoming a Street Wisdom host, bringing strangers together to connect, helping people become more playful, sharing everyday wonder in your local neighbourhood, and giving people a practice and a skill they can enjoy for life!
What does it involve?
Being a Street Wisdom host involves as much or as little as you want it to. Many hosts lead one or two Walkshops a year in their neighbourhood. Some host more, including weekly Walkshops. To become a Street Wisdom Host in your area, get in touch with us at contactus@streetwisdom.org.
Can I take part in the World Wide Wander too?
Absolutely! The World Wide Wander is our annual day of wandering and wonder, where our hosts gather thousands of people across the planet to practise their wanderful skills and find fresh inspiration.
What do I get in return?
We like to think being a Street Wisdom is rewarding in its own right but we also give you as much back as possible including:
Personal 1-2-1 support from our Producer to help you set up your Walkshop, including free access to our Host pack with all the information you need to make your Walkshop a wanderful experience
Guidance to help you market your Walkshop locally so that you have as many people wandering with you as you’d like
The chance to have your own coaching and facilitation practice, or personal business, promoted through our website
The feeling of being part of a global community - we have around 100 active volunteers all around this beautiful planet
Special free Walkshops for Hosts, often led by our founder David Pearl, to give you insights into deeper aspects of the Street Wisdom practice
The chance to take part in our big annual day with fellow hosts, The World Wide Wander
From time to time, we are able to offer Street Wisdom Hosts the chance to take part in paid Walkshops that we deliver with the corporate clients that help us keep Street Wisdom free. This is not at all guaranteed but we can only do this if we get to know you! So sign up, contact us at contactus@streetwisdom.org.
How do I get started?
The best thing to do is experience Street Wisdom for yourself by signing up for one of our in-person or online Walkshops. Check out our Events page and sign up now if you’ve not already! You should be able to experience an online Walkshop quite soon - we host an online Walkshop once or twice a month at time zones that are friendly practically all over the world - and you can experience it from indoors or outdoors, whatever is best for you, so everyone should be able to experience Street Wisdom.
Once you’ve had a go yourself, and practised Street Wisdom in your own time a bit, get in touch to become a host at contactus@streetwisdom.org.
Exciting, ready?
Then email us right now to become a host at contactus@streetwisdom.org.
