A gentle walk into the year ahead
Not a resolution. A remembering.
What if the new year didn’t require pressure, plans, or performance....
but presence?
This mindful walk is an invitation to begin your year differently.
Together, we’ll move through the beautiful grounds surrounding Claridge House Retreat, breathing in the stillness of the winter countryside and slowly reconnecting with the deeper direction within.
We’ll finish gathered around a warming fire, where you’ll be guided through a simple, grounding intention-setting ritual to gently call in the year ahead.
This is not about fixing, forcing, or proving.
It’s about pausing long enough to hear yourself.
To honour what’s ready to grow, and let the rest fall away.
What to Expect
A gentle, guided walk (approx. 4–5km) through woodland, fields, and quiet country paths
Reflection prompts to explore what you’re letting go of — and what’s quietly calling you forward
Opportunities for silent walking, intention setting, and mindful presence
Time around the fire to journal, speak (if you wish), and begin the year grounded in what matters
Optional use of essential oils or grounding practices to support your nervous system
A space held with deep care, slowness, and no pressure to perform
Who It’s For
This walk is for you if you’re:
Feeling the pull to start the year more intentionally than intensively
Tired of rigid goal-setting and craving something more embodied
Ready to reconnect with your own rhythm before rushing into action
Comfortable walking 4–5km over uneven ground at a gentle pace
Curious about weaving nature, ritual, and reflection into your new year
Event Details
Date: Tuesday 6th January 2026
Time: 10:00am – 1:00pm
Location: Claridge House Retreat, Surrey
Please bring:
Warm, weather-appropriate clothing, waterproof footwear, a journal + pen, and an open heart.
Step into the year with presence, not pressure.
There’s something quietly powerful about beginning the year on foot —
not chasing a better version of yourself, but walking gently toward what already lives inside you.
Let’s start the year not with noise, but with clarity.
With breath.
With space.
You’re invited.
