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 reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with 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 and guest on a Wayfinding Day

“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.”

Walk the book

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, one hour a piece, and open to anyone 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.

Walk the Book runs in September 15 and 22, 2026. Details and registration coming soon.

A path worth following

Many people find their way into Wild Wayfinding through a Wayfinding Day, a mindful walking experience that opens something they want to explore further. Walk the Book goes deeper, moving through the practice in community over two sessions.

You don't have to follow the path in order. But if you're wondering where to begin, check out Walking & Wayfinding: Create Your Own Mindful Practice, One Step at a Time, from your local library or find it on Amazon, Audible, Barnes & Noble, or Apple Books or join us for Walk the Book.
