Our clients’ experience
What attracted me was the concept (...) I wanted to see how it worked, and I went ahead. And it was a great experience!
The opportunity to go on a Walking Mentorship came a bit suddenly. It was an accident that I saw it as a repost by one of my friends, and it was during a very, I guess, turbulent time, or rather, a lot of things were moving at once.
I had actually accepted a job offer from halfway around the world, and I had three months between the jobs. So this came at the exact week when I had basically nothing planned, and I took that as a sign, so I went ahead.
What attracted me was the concept, but also just that it was close to something that I myself had thought of doing and also I found close to my heart, and that is going somewhere and slowing down in a sense that you have something, you are doing something, but at the same time, you are being rather than planning in the next moment. I wanted to see how it worked, and I went ahead. And it was a great experience!
It was a great experience for many reasons, including the people that I met there. In fact, so much so that when I showed the pictures and talked about it with my 10-year-old daughter, she said she wanted to go, too. So, we are actually going with João on a Parents&Kids Program in a few weeks, in fact. And we are both very much looking forward to it! It was a great experience, and I think it will be one yet again.

It was one of the best choices I’ve made and will definitely be one of our best lifetime family memories.
I knew about the “Parents and Kids Program” a few years before we took it with my son; I was just waiting for him to get a bit more ready. It was one of the best choices I’ve made and will definitely be one of our best lifetime family memories. One of the most beautiful routes, accompanied by magic people and unforgettable bonding. I do recommend this program to anyone interested in the emotional development of their kid, introducing them to hiking/exploring experiences, and the development of a deeper parent and kid connection. Needless to say that I will be taking this program with my younger son in a year or two.

I came to the program with a question about how to get rid of stress in my life and realize my high potential. And the answers were quite surprising.
With the right principles and with the right systems, you can manage to do almost anything. Anything is possible for those who do not complain but create, who accept the challenge to build, create, change, grow and enjoy life. Because life is a creative act, and it’s unbelievable what we have if we choose freedom and not fear and we are open to ourselves and do not betray our real nature.

I found clarity, healing, and lasting friendships.
Walking Mentorship helped me reconnect with myself during one of the most challenging periods of my life. Through meaningful walks, deep conversations, and the support of a kind, non-judgmental community, I found clarity, healing, and lasting friendships. Every step has been a step toward hope and wholeness.
