Reflections from Summit Guests

“By bringing people together through Walking Softer Summits, we envision a future where our guests embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and purpose redefinition. Together, we share this collective existence, and it is our responsibility to shape it into an extraordinary journey.

Our Approach to Carbon Offsets

Walking Softer acknowledges the significant carbon emissions associated with the planning of our summits and retreats. Nevertheless, we are committed to curating experiences that not only mitigate our emissions but also generate positive impacts for the planet.

We have given careful consideration to the idea of purchasing carbon offsets. Despite the limitations of offsetting as a solution, we have chosen to procure offsets through Native, a Public Benefit Corporation and Certified B Corporation. This decision serves the dual purpose of stimulating dialogue on the subject and contributing to the well-being of our planet.
