Slow Walk & Deep Talk: Real Connection

Route: Regent’s Park

Meeting point: Emailed 24 hours before.

Walking time: 1 - 2pm

Social: 2pm onwards

A more thoughtful kind of socialising, offering the perfect chance to reconnect to yourself, others, and nature.

Unseen community hosts monthly socials, dinners & walks in London. We offer curated social experiences in beautiful spaces, designed for curious minds who are bored of shallow socialising and addictive apps, and want deeper conversation & real connection.

Register here if you are joining us on the walk. Join our walking club where I'll send location pins and walk info.

Will there be photography?

Yes. We will take photos and videos during the walk, including some flash. To be excluded, tell a team member before we start.

Where might photos and videos from the walk appear?

On our Instagram, website, emails, press coverage, and sometimes in partner or promotional material.

What topics do we talk about?

Personal growth, relationships, identity, values, struggles, purpose and life direction.

What’s the vibe like?

Relaxed, thoughtful and friendly. Slow-paced, welcoming, and a bit deeper than your usual social.

What do people do after?

We all go to a cafe and continue the conversations. This is also a great way to meet other groups or people you haven’t spoken to yet.

Who will be hosting?

Myself (Ben) and some team members/volunteers.

Do I have to have deep conversations?

We encourage using the conversation cards. The point of this walk is to go a bit deeper than a normal social event. If that does not appeal to you, this event may not be for you.

Will it be very intense?

The aim is meaningful conversation, honesty and depth, not forced vulnerability. You do not have to talk about anything you do not want to, such as trauma or things you may be working on in therapy. This is not a therapeutic space, though if you are comfortable discussing more difficult things, that will not be unwelcome.

Do I have to walk slowly? How slow?

The idea is to slow down and take in the greenery, scenery, conversation, and the people around you. Expect a normal to slightly slower-than-normal pace. City walking is usually fast. This will be slower than that, but not painfully slow.

Do I need to come with someone?

No. Lots of people come alone. The format makes it easy to talk to people.

Is every walk in the same location?

No. Each walk takes place in a different part of London, always chosen for its greenery, scenery and nature.

How much walking is involved?

Around 5km at an easy pace.

What should I wear or bring with me?

Wear comfortable shoes and clothes that suit the weather. Bring water.

How often are the walks?

Monthly.

What happens if it rains or the forecast turns?

The walk will usually still go ahead. If conditions are unsafe, I will email everyone with an update.

Are there any behaviour rules?

Yes. Be respectful and do not make the walk uncomfortable for others. Harassment or harmful behaviour is not acceptable.

What should I do if there’s an issue on the day?

Speak to me (Ben) during the walk or email me afterwards so I can look into it properly.

Please note: Experiences and perspectives may be discussed, but this is not a therapeutic space and does not provide medical or psychological advice.
