Question 1

What is therapeutic walking?

Accepted Answer

Therapeutic walking combines physical movement with psychologically-grounded prompts to promote mindfulness, self-reflection, and emotional wellbeing. Our walks draw from ecotherapy, gestalt awareness, Jungian archetypes, and somatic experiencing.

Question 2

How do Waywalks prompts work?

Accepted Answer

At each waypoint on your walk, you receive an audio prompt tailored to your chosen depth (light, standard, or deep), who you are walking with (solo, group, or family), and the natural environment around you. These prompts guide your attention and reflection.

Question 3

Are Waywalks suitable for families?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our family mode uses narrative therapy techniques to create engaging, child-friendly prompts that foster connection, wonder, and meaningful conversations between parents and children in nature.

Question 4

What is the difference between light, standard, and deep prompts?

Accepted Answer

Light prompts are brief mindfulness cues (~10 seconds). Standard prompts offer guided reflection with context (~1-2 minutes). Deep prompts invite profound contemplation with journaling opportunities (~3-5 minutes), drawing on psychological frameworks.
