Join our Kingswood Walk Meet Up

Connect with likeminded quieteers for a leisurely afternoon walk at Kingswood, St Austell on Friday 8th September from 2pm. 

This Pop Up Meet Up is designed to help you enjoy something you might not normally do with likeminded people in a calm and gentle way that feels authentic to your true quiet self. It’s a safe space for you to gently stretch your comfort zone as part of a community of quieteers who truly get you.

We can’t wait to walk with you.

Your Meet Up leader

Hi, I’m Stacie.

I’ll be leading this Pop Up Meet Up with my dog, Bella. I’ll be here to greet you and answer any questions or concerns that you might have. After years of being told I was "too sensitive" and feeling ashamed of my quieter nature, I have learned to love and embrace this part of who I am. Social settings and connecting with others hasn't always felt easy for me (and sometimes it stills feel a challenge!), and after a lot of self-exploration to help ease those doubts and anxieties, I now know that connecting with the right people, such as yourself, is an uplifting, energising and comforting experience. I hope you'll experience this too and I look forward to welcoming you at this meet up.

What to Expect

  • It’s okay to talk and it’s okay to be quiet too

    We understand that you may prefer to ease into conversation gradually, or that some days you might like to walk quietly and take in the natural world whilst simply being in the company of others. We welcome both quietude and chatter.

  • You can go at your own pace

    We'll be walking at a leisurely pace with opportunity to pause along the way, watch the wildlife, or enjoy some mindful nature photography. You're invited to walk and join in conversation at a pace that feels good for you.

  • A relaxed, calming environment

    Kingswoods is beautiful, calming and spacious. We're likely to meet some friendly dog walkers along the way but it won't feel 'busy'. There are a number of different routes that we can explore, which include going up into the ancient woodland (hills involved), walking alongside the river, or along the outer edge of the woods. We will decide on the day, which may be determined by weather conditions.

  • A community of understanding

    Our gentle-natured team and your fellow quieteers are likely to share similar feelings and experiences with you. So here you can connect with people who truly get you - and feel part of a supportive, welcoming community together.

  • Dogs Welcome

    You're welcome to bring your friendly four-legged friend to explore the smells of Kingswood with Bella (just please pick up any dog mess).
