City and Beyond in collaboration with Walk Leader, Garry Pratt

Join Garry Pratt - a walking leader, creativity coach, facilitator, and author of The Creativity Factor. Garry helps people go outside to unlock fresh thinking, reset old patterns, and find new ways forward. This is a chance to step outside, slow down, and reconnect. Along the way we’ll mix in some light creative prompts, a bit of resetting, and space for good conversation with like-minded people.

If you fancy a breath of fresh air, a little inspiration, and meeting others who are curious about life, work, and creativity, come and join us.

This will be a circular 5k walk starting and finishing at Waitrose, in the city centre of Bath.
