Wellbeing Walks - Waterloo Chapter - Walk #1
About this Event
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
- Guided community walks at a relaxed pace
- Optional Buddy Matching Program to help you feel comfortable before your first walk
- Conversation prompts and opportunities to connect with others
- Simple mindfulness and reflection activities
- A safe, inclusive, and judgment-free environment
Who can join?
This series is open to:
- Newcomer and racialized adults aged 18+
- Working professionals
- International students
- Job seekers
- Stay-at-home adults
- 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:
- Treat others with kindness and respect.
- Respect the privacy of fellow participants.
- Participate at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
- Wear comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing.
- Bring a reusable water bottle.
- Notify us if you are unable to attend after registering so we can offer your spot to someone on the waitlist.

If the event reaches capacity, please join the waitlist. Additional spots may become available, and we will contact participants as spaces open.
We look forward to walking alongside you and building a more connected, supportive Waterloo Region—one step at a time.
