London can feel overwhelming and overstimulating. This walking club is for sensitive souls seeking a gentle pause from the city hustle, meaningful conversation, and connection with like-hearted people.

🌸 WHAT TO EXPECT
- A mindful stroll through Kyoto Gardens in Holland Park, moving slowly and intentionally while exploring Zen teachings:

• Ichigo-ichie – cherishing this moment fully
• Wabi-sabi – embracing imperfection
• Ma – appreciating space and pauses

- Mindfulness and nervous system regulation practice to help you relax and reconnect

Oracle card reading + coaching insights from Essi to guide reflection and self-discovery

Sharing circle of wisdom to connect with like-hearted souls

☕️ We’ll finish with coffee in the park and a gentle sharing circle, including Oracle card reflections.

It is led by our Founder, Intuitive Coach Essi Virtanen, who creates spaces for real connection — walking and talking, reflective workshops, dark meditations, online rituals, and screen-free gatherings where people can slow down, be heard, and feel a sense of belonging again.

"It was a last minute booking for me the night before, I just thought, “hey, why not? Go for it!” It exceeded my expectations. I arrived a bit late, in a bit of a fluster, and feeling a bit drained and emotional. I left feeling completely different - my heart was full! Spent hours chatting with the lovely ladies I met, and even ended up going to the cinema with a couple of them after the walk!"

"It was genial, I loved talking to all the women whom I found very inspiring and amazing for various reasons. I was apprehensive as don't always find it easy to access my feminine softer side so often nothing labeled women only I sometimes approach with wary, but I'm happy I've done this, it was incredible being in this amazing space with amazing women. I was surprised I've opened up much more than I expected. I loved the meditative experience and oracle card sharing stories. Also the location was gorgeous. Had an absolutely beautiful time."
