We can help you get off your phone
If you're looking to look at your phone less next year, and make 2025 the year of IRL, Street Wisdom might be a useful open-source technology to help you get there.
Try it right now!
Street Wisdom is a creative practice you add to your everyday walk. Very simply put, you take a question for a walk to help you find fresh inspiration. We believe answers are everywhere, all around us. Your question can be about anything - life or work or love or community or the planet or everything in between.
The 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 going a bit deeper?
There's a whole world of thinking and feeling behind the Street Wisdom practice. If you fancy going a bit deeper, you can make it a regular practice (every day is a good time to wander!).
You can grab a copy of the insights-galore book Wanderful by our founder David Pearl. Proceeds from the book go back into keeping Street Wisdom free for all.
You can even become a volunteer host in your neighbourhood, bringing people together to practise their curiosity. We support our amazing hosts with special Walkshops just for them, and extra resources to boost their own practice.
Interested?
Have a good proper look around our website www.streetwisdom.org. Remember - answers are everywhere, we can find them together. So whatever your question is right now, you’re not alone, come take it for a walk with us.

Check out below all our amazing hosts and wanderers who took time away from their phones and went IRL this year as part of our annual World Wide Wander, when we get together over 24 hours and wander this beautiful world together.
So get offline, get off your phone, get off on the wonder all around. You deserve it, and the world does too!
