This text was finalized while listening to this music.
2025 was not just a year. It was a journey of almost infinite time.
This year, we offered around 40 programs across immersive group experiences, corporate walks, and Signature one-on-one journeys. We opened new routes in the United States, Italy, Japan, and Greece, and closed the year by completing and marking a fifth new route in Portugal, expanding both our map and our methodology.
Along the way, we planted essential seeds for the future.
We began developing Juno, our AI-inspired digital mentorship project, designed to extend the spirit of Walking Mentorship beyond the trail. We strengthened partnerships with travel designers, organizations, and international events, and continued evolving our methodology, refining exercises, deepening reflection, and finding better ways to guide meaningful change.
At the heart of everything is our community. In 2025, we continued to support our alumni through our WhatsApp group and forum, creating connections across countries and time zones. Our Alumni Program has become a true classic, a yearly reunion of people who return not to start over, but to go deeper. Next year, we will bring the program to Africa.
We also began preparing a new cohort of Walking Mentors in training, a significant step toward expanding our global reach in 2026. A very special group of 14 people will start their journey in February.
More than anything, 2025 was a year of depth, intensity, and truth. A year that brought us closer to our best version, together.
None of this would exist without the people who walk with us.
That shared dynamic, that symbiosis, is the real magic. That’s why we call you beautiful people. For now, we say: thank you for walking with us, let’s keep changing the world, one person at a time, one step at a time.
Until our next newsletter in 2026,
