Soulhub

At Soulhub we are passionate about empowering and supporting others. Hence we love to theme some our Soulwalks, giving local people an opportunity to be featured on part of a walk. People can share either their inspirational life stories or specialist subjects and talents such as botany, herbalism, foraging, gardening, music, art, dance or anything that is either educational or inspirational.

Soulwalks

Soulwalking super-charges the naturally holistic benefits of walking by integrating simple embodied practices of deeper and slower moving, breathing, contemplation, feeling and honest talking. All done with intention, awareness and appreciation, that gently yet profoundly guide one into a deeper presence with oneself, others and nature.

Soulwalks are group walks, in nature, over 3-5kms for up to 2 hours.

Soulwalks are always on public land and in spaces that are safe and easily accessible. They must not enter private property or any protected environment without permission.
