The World Wide Wander is coming to Desborough
A free creative walking practice designed to help individuals navigate life's twists and turns will take place in Desborough on Friday 27th September.
The practice, Street Wisdom, is part of an international movement of people using their walking to get mindful, get healthy, and get curious about the world around them to help answer some of life's big questions. The World Wide Wander is Street Wisdom's annual day of Walkshops - yes, walking workshops - all over the UK and around the world.
"This year we're in over 60 countries," says Street Wisdom's poet-in-residence and producer, Philip Cowell. "And we're very happy to be in Desborough, with our Walkshop being led by local resident Robert Orr.
"Street Wisdom is an everyday practice you add to your walk," says Philip. "A smart fusion of mindfulness, neuroscience, imagination and wellness, it unlocks minds and unblocks creativity with every step."
The perfect complement to static meditation, Street Wisdom takes you on a physical journey that not only calms and clears your mind but also opens you up to new ideas and solutions to long-standing problems.
The Walkshop is in three parts. First, there's the Tune Up where you will go on three micro-walks by yourself using the host's guidance. Then there's the Quest, which is the heart of the experience, a longer walk by yourself, and an opportunity to ask the streets a question and get some fresh answers. After you've done that, you'll come back as a group and Share what you learn with each other. "It's such a simple, wonderful, potentially transformative experience!" Philip added.
