Some things only become clear when you’re moving.

Guided experiences that go deeper.

Where stillness meets movement

Wild Wayfinding‘s guided experiences bring mindful practices outside and in indoor communal space. There are walking, reflection, and creative moments that surface what conversation alone sometimes can‘t. Experiences invite you to slow down, notice more, and connect with yourself, with others, and the world around you.

Wayfinding Days

A Wayfinding Day is a half-day or full-day guided walking experience that combines intentional movement, reflection, and creative practice. You walk. You notice. You write, draw, or create alongside others who are doing the same. And somewhere in the walking, in the slowing down and the paying attention, something shifts.​

​

These walking experiences consistently surprise the people who show up. People arrive curious and leave glad they came. Watch this space for public Wayfinding Days or bring one to your organization.​​​

”Lea is an expert guide who began by encouraging us to define an issue for which we sought clarity. Lea provided a workbook which served as a valuable tool to help guide our thinking. Each activity promoted self-awareness and added a new layer of depth to the experience. At the end of the day, I found myself with a newfound sense of clarity.”

Labyrinth Walks

Some learning happens best when people are moving. Wild Wayfinding's organizational experiences—labyrinth walks, guided walking sessions, and off-site reflection days—bring the body into the learning and create connection to self and others.

​

These experiences work as standalone team events, as additions to an existing offsite or retreat, or as opening or closing experiences for a conference day. Each one is designed for your group, your setting, and what you want people to leave with.

“I have walked the portable labyrinth Lea designed. I was skeptical that I would experience anything beyond simply being refreshed by a few minutes in nature, because I've never gotten much out of mindfulness exercises such as classical meditation or yoga. I was surprised to feel profound reflection and self-discovery in the labryinth.“

Walk the book

Cover of Walking & Wayfinding book with legs "walking" on a path

Walking & Wayfinding: Create Your Own Mindful Practice, One Step at a Time, is designed to be read slowly, with attention and time to walk with each chapter. It's short and you can also read it in one sitting. If you’d like a more in-depth exploration of mindful walking, Walk the Book is a facilitated read-along with me that moves through the book in community, with guided reflection and conversation along the way.

​

Two virtual sessions, 45-minutes a piece, and open to those who wants to go deeper into the practice of mindful walking, whether you’ve attended a Wayfinding Day or are coming to the book fresh.

​

Held in September 2026, Walk the Book was a great success! Watch here for Walk the Book 2.
