What is a 'Wandering'?

An invitation to wander

From time to time, I organise 'World of Liesbet Wanderings'.

These are simple walking gatherings.
No registration.
No agenda.
No predefined outcome.

We meet, we start walking, and we see where the conversations take us.

Some people walk together the entire time.
Others drift between conversations or spend parts of the walk in silence.

The only intention is to move through the landscape together and allow space for reflection, curiosity and connection.

What to expect?

Very little is planned.

We start walking at the announced time and wander through the surroundings for about 1 to 2.5 hours, usually covering 5 to 10 km, depending on how we feel and what the weather invites us to do.

Conversations arise naturally along the way.

Sometimes they stay light.
Sometimes they become unexpectedly deep.

People talk about work, ideas, life questions, things they are navigating, or simply about what they notice around them.

And sometimes there is silence.
That is welcome too.

The wandering has no goal other than walking.

Why Wandering?

There are two reasons why this idea matters to me.

A different way of meeting

Over the years, many people have asked to meet for coffee or an online call to exchange ideas or get to know each other.

I enjoy those conversations, but they often fragment time into many small meetings.

Walking offers a more natural alternative.
People can connect with me and with each other while doing something that also gives me energy.

Less structured.
More spacious.

We wander too little

Wandering has an aimlessness to it.

Moving without a fixed plan.
Allowing direction to emerge.

In many contexts this is seen as inefficient or unproductive.
I experience the opposite.

Wandering creates space for ideas, reflection and unexpected connections.

Planning time without a predefined outcome is something I believe more people would benefit from.

Who might enjoy joining?

These wanderings may be for you if:

you enjoy walking and feel like connecting with interesting people
you have been meaning to reach out but prefer something informal
you are curious about the ideas explored in The World of Liesbet
or simply because something about this resonates

People who know me well are just as welcome as people I have never met before.

When this might not be the right format

A wandering is probably not the best setting if:

you have a very specific question you want to discuss with me
you are looking for guaranteed one-on-one time

In that case, sending me an email is usually a better option.

Feel free to join

One thing is important to say clearly.

I will walk regardless of how many people show up.

If you come, wonderful.
If not, I will still be wandering.
