Coaching while Walking

What if the next step in your growth didn’t happen in a meeting room — but on a winding path, under open sky, in the rhythm of your own footsteps

Coaching While Walking is a unique opportunity to walk side-by-side with a skilled coach or therapist through beautiful and meaningful landscapes — while also walking through the inner territory of your life.

Rooted in pilgrimage tradition and contemplative presence, this offer is for those ready to move, reflect, and reconnect with what truly matters.

The Experience

Every walk is bespoke. We tailor it to your needs, pace, and what you’re walking through in your life. Some are short and local. Others follow ancient routes like the Caminos in Spain, the Pilgrims’ Way in the UK, or the Shikoku 88 in Japan

Expect a rhythm of:

• Walking in silence and dialogue

• Stopping for reflection, focus, or rest

• Listening to your body, your story, and the land

• Integrating the insights with grounded support

Who is it for?

• Leaders navigating pressure, transition, or burnout

• People in recovery or midlife transition seeking grounding

• Coaches, therapists, or practitioners seeking reconnection with purpose

• Anyone drawn to a more embodied, spacious way of working with life’s questions

No religious/spiritual belief is required — only a willingness to walk, reflect, and be real.

What is it?

• One-to-one or small-group experiences (from one day to one week)

• Guided on foot through meaningful landscapes — UK or overseas

• Combining coaching, embodied inquiry, contemplative silence, and narrative work

• Option to incorporate aspects of spiritual practice

What makes the difference?

• Guided by over 30 years’ experience in psychiatry, therapy, executive leadership, and coaching.

• Deeply informed by Zen, recovery and Contemplative practice

• Grounded, trauma-aware, recovery-focused, and non-pathologising

• Held with warmth, humility, and real presence

This is not a retreat from life — it’s a return to it, step by step.
