A walk for wellness

Moving to a new country, starting over, or building a new social network can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, the most meaningful conversations happen while walking side by side.

The bookmytherapy Wellbeing Walk Series is a free community initiative that brings residents of the Waterloo region together to connect, build friendships, and support mental wellbeing through guided walks in some of Waterloo Region’s beautiful parks.

What to expect

a. Guided community walks at a relaxed pace
b. Optional Buddy Matching Program to help you feel comfortable before your first walk
c. Conversation prompts and opportunities to connect with others
d. Simple mindfulness and reflection activities
e. A safe, inclusive, and judgment-free environment

Who can join?
This series is open to: Anyone looking to build community and improve their wellbeing
No previous hiking or walking experience is required. Everyone walks at a comfortable pace, and participation in conversations is always optional.

Community Guidelines
To help create a welcoming experience for everyone, we ask participants to:

a. Treat others with kindness and respect.
b. Respect the privacy of fellow participants.
c. Participate at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
d. Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.
e. Bring a reusable water bottle.
f. Notify us if you are unable to attend after registering so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.

Registration is required as spaces are limited to help foster meaningful conversations and community connections.

We look forward to walking alongside you and building a more connected, supportive Waterloo Region—one step at a time.
