What’s Street Wisdom again?

Jan 4

Written By Boris H

If you want to…

look at your phone less
spend more time outdoors
walk more for health and wonder
build on your mindfulness practice
follow your curiosity
cultivate your serendipity mindset
and get even more creative

Street Wisdom is the open-source technology to help you get there!

What’s that 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 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!).

Join us every month for our Online Walkshop Club and build a regular Street Wisdom practice. You can join from anywhere in the world. The sessions are FREE (like all our Walkshops).

Grab a copy of the insights-galore book Wanderful by our founder David Pearl and dive into the theory and practice behind Street Wisdom. Proceeds from the book go back into keeping Street Wisdom free for all.

Why not become a volunteer host in your neighbourhood and bring 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.
