World Wide Wisdom 2024

A FREE FACILITATED WALKSHOP (WALKING WORKSHOPS) ON PENZANCE’S STREETS TO HELP YOU RE-THINK YOUR FUTURE. LET’S FIND OUR WAY. TOGETHER.

There are some big hairy challenges out there, huh? The climate crisis. Global conflict. Polarisation and loneliness. Not to mention personal ones – finding a job, mental health, relationships, healing a grief.

We’re all wondering how to do things differently. What if the inspiration we need is all around us, all the time? That’s why non-profit Street Wisdom created an annual celebration of their work – The World Wide Wander – together with the support of our partners at the global creative community Creative Mornings and Action for Happiness, an international charity dedicated to creating a happier and kinder world.

We’re not going to resolve our questions just sitting and thinking. Let’s get up, get out and get answers. 

 Join Andy Hall for an in-person Street Wisdom Walkshop happening as part of this year’s big annual day of wonder and wandering, the World Wide Wander, taking place on Friday, 27th September 2024. This Walkshop is one of many other in-person Walkshops occurring all around the world that day. Find out about all the events of the World Wide Wander. Join us for in-person and online events and let’s find – and share – ideas, insights and solutions to the big challenges inspired by our walking. Let’s wander the world together.

WHEN? Friday 27th September 2024, 2.00pm. Market House

38-39 Market Pl, Penzance TR18 2JG, UK

Meet Andy outside the Market House, by Sir Humphrey Davy!

 What is Street Wisdom?

Street Wisdom is an everyday creative practice you use as you walk. A brilliant fusion of mindfulness, neuroscience, imagination and wellness, it unlocks minds and unblocks creativity with every step. The perfect complement to static meditation, Street Wisdom takes you on a physical journey that not only calms and clears the mind but opens up the subconscious to new ideas. Not to mention the potential health benefits of walking outdoors. All without having to travel to exotic climes or retreats. Suddenly, every street is full of inspiration. And whatever your questions, we are finding answers everywhere.

What can I expect from an in-person Walkshop?

You’ll meet the volunteer host at the announced time. Before setting you off, the host will introduce everyone to the Walkshop and the ideas behind Street Wisdom. The Walkshop is in three parts. First, there’s the Tune-Up, where you will go on three micro-walks by yourself using the host’s guidance. Then there’s the Quest, which is the heart of the experience, a longer walk by yourself, and an opportunity to ask the streets a question and get some fresh answers. After you’ve done that, you’ll come back as a group and share what you learned with each other. It’s such a simple, wonderful, potentially transformative experience!

Hang on, this is free?

Yes! Street Wisdom is a non-profit on a mission to bring inspiration to every street on planet Earth. We were founded by the arts and business innovator David Pearl, who noticed his work with clients always got to newer, deeper places when he walked outdoors with them. David’s mission has always been to make and keep Street Wisdom free for everyone. If you are drawn to support our work, please make a donation. Thank you.
