Summer Walk at Knepp Rewilding Landscape, West Sussex, UK
The Summer season is here and with it, we’re stepping into growth, creativity and generosity, all human and more-than-human kin, alike.
It seems synchronous that, with the coming of the summer, we also celebrate the generosity and nurturing of a year-long seasonal walks held by Anna Brown and Lydia Stevens at the wonderful Knepp re-wilding estate! Many of you will remember and join us in sending them our gratitude, we’re sure!
And so we’re feeling honoured to continue this offering for another cycle! In deep partnership with the land at Knepp and in the same spirit of generosity, light, free holding and of interconnectedness.
Sarah Hartman and Clara Kallai will warmly welcome you to a time of walking, connection with each other and connection with the beautiful Knepp ecology.
We welcome all people developers (coaches, facilitators, trainers, supervisors, consultants etc) to join us. The walk will be at a gentle pace, allowing time to regroup and pause to appreciate our surroundings (roughly 8km). This route will include beautiful landscapes, butterflies, storks and free-roaming old English longhorn cattle, Tamworth pigs, Exmoor ponies and deer. Knepp is a demonstration of how allowing nature to regenerate heals all of her inhabitants.
This stunning landscape will set the scene for connection and collaboration, sharing with other folks in your field, as well as the more-than-human world that Knepp has enabled to flourish through its regenerative approach over the last 20 years. We want our time together to be equally free roaming and emergent, so there will be no fixed topic of conversation or agenda. We are keen to invite whatever conversation wants to happen.
You may wish to arrive early to join us for an informal lunch at the fabulous Wilding Kitchen Café at Knepp, where they celebrate the very best of produce from the Estate. Highly recommend!
*The walk is free to join and open to all. Arriving for lunch is optional and at your own expense.*
Once you’ve booked on, you’ll be added to a WhatsApp group to self-organise into lift shares or station pick-ups and to begin to connect with each other. [The closest station to Knepp is Horsham.]
Do get in touch with Clara (clarakallai@gmail.com) or Sarah (Sarah@boldly-go.co.uk) if you have any questions! We very much look forward to welcoming you to Knepp to celebrate the Summer season with us.

Why is Knepp so full of life? It stems from the way our free-roaming animals break up the fabric of our soils. These mini disturbances create space for new life to take root. You could say the same is true for human creativity. When routines are ruptured – even just for a day – new bursts of inspiration and productivity can be released”. Come to see for yourselves and meet others from the CCA, CPA and EMCC in person.

Presenter(s) Bio
Sarah Hardman and Clara Kallai are systemic and leadership coaches passionate about nature and supporting a thriving planet. We are both members of several wonderful networks (CCA, CPA, EMCC) and you might have met us already either within these networks or on previous Knepp/London walks.
Clara is a systemic coach and psychologist, a member of the EMCC CofE on sustainability, a Deep time walk facilitator and a Climate cafe facilitator. Her main passion is about bridging coaching and psychology with sustainability and climate healing, nurturing coaching , leadership and humanity that honours and supports our beautiful ecology. She is a nature-connected practitioner and a coach supervisor, living in the UK, with multicultural roots in Eastern Europe. Nature writing and trekking are the spaces that nurture her most.
Sarah has a deep love of the outdoors and is never happier than when she's out in the elements — a connection with nature that led her to qualify as a TFBI Forest Bathing Guide alongside her work as a Leadership & Team Coach. With 15 years in people development, she specialises in helping emerging leaders lead with self-awareness and confidence and supporting senior teams to become more collaborative and cohesive through better conversations. Driven by a curiosity about how we create the inner conditions to respond creatively — rather than reactively — to life's challenges, Sarah is trained in mind-body approaches and regularly co-facilitates nature-based team days for NHS Primary Care staff as part of the “Out in the Field” project at The Quadrangle in Kent.
