Walk ’n’ Talk

Walk ’n’ Talk is the practice of mindful walking with peers – so this is not about silent reflection, but rather about taking a walk and clearing the chatter in our heads!

Joyful walking has many benefits. Not only are there physical benefits of walking in itself but the mindful discussion which has been known to help reduce blood pressure, lower heart rate, create feelings of well-being, improve your mood, and help to manage stress…

All of this will provide you with better sleep, which in turn gives you all the benefits of good sleep such as immune strength, weight management benefits, improved moods, and increased productivity science tells us so much more!

Walk ‘n’ Talk meets at the square on the corner of Yurong and Stanley Street Darlinghurst at 7:15 pm and starts to walk to Mrs. Macquarie’s Chair no later than 7:30 pm.

We complete a full circle as such and the investment of time averages around 45 minutes.

Please wear comfortable clothes, and running shoes and stretch before you arrive at the start point.
