Men's Outdoor Reset - Walking
Slow down. Get some space.
The Walking Reset has a very different feel.
This isn't the Trail Running Reset with the running removed. It's deliberately slower.
We'll spend around two hours walking through the woods and countryside, giving ourselves some distance from phones, work, responsibilities and everything else competing for our attention.
There will still be some physical effort. We'll cover a decent amount of ground, take on the hills and occasionally stop for a simple challenge. But pushing ourselves isn't the main focus.
We'll make space for breathing exercises, meditation, quieter sections of walking and conversation. At points we might walk together and talk. At others, we might deliberately walk in silence for a while.
You don't need to arrive ready to talk about your problems. This isn't group therapy and nobody will be put on the spot.
Sometimes it's enough to walk alongside a group of men, spend a couple of hours outside and allow life to become a little quieter.
The aim is to return home feeling like you've had some space to think, moved your body and spent your morning somewhere other than behind a screen.
Expect: walking, woodland, conversation, breathwork, meditation, periods of quiet and a few lighter physical challenges.
Walking Reset FAQs
How fit do I need to be?
If you're comfortable walking for around two hours over woodland paths and some hills, you should be fine. We'll keep the group together and stop along the way.
Do I have to talk or share anything personal?
No. There may be opportunities for conversation and reflection, but there's no pressure to share anything about yourself. Come along and take from the session what you need.
Is this a hiking group?
Not quite. Walking is what carries us through the session, but we'll also stop for breathing exercises, meditation, quiet periods and occasional challenges.
What should I bring?
Comfortable walking shoes or boots, clothes suitable for the weather and some water. Expect mud when the ground is wet.
I've never done meditation or breathwork before. Does that matter?
Not at all. Everything will be simple and guided, and you don't need any previous experience.
