We use a secure and simple payment system courtesy of Brown Paper Tickets. Once you have submitted payment for your tickets, you will receive an email receipt of your payment. We will then send you another email with all details about the walk, including more details on the meeting place and contact information for your walk leader. You may also pay cash at the walk itself, though it is highly recommended that you purchase a ticket online ahead of time. 

How do I know where to meet the walk leader?
Once you have purchased your tickets, we will email you detailed instructions, including where exactly to meet the walk leader, and the walk leader's contact information. 

What should I wear?
Please wear comfortable clothes, including comfortable shoes. Check the description of each walk for specific details. 

Are the walks physically challenging?
The walks require a desire and ability to engage fully in a somewhat physical, emotional and spiritual exercise. As the aim of the walks is to help re-discover the self, it's up to you the extent to which you want to push yourself. We all express ourselves differently so we will never push you to do anything you are not comfortable with. As these walks take place in the summer, it will be hot, so bring water and a hat. 

What happens if it rains?
Walks typically take place rain or shine. In the case of rain, we may change the location of the walk. We will contact you the morning of the walk (or the evening before in the case of a morning walk) by email or telephone to update you on details. We may need to cancel the walk if the weather is extreme, in which case you will receive a full refund.

What is your refund policy?
In the event that we have to cancel a walk, we will issue you a full refund. If you decide you cannot participate in a walk for which you've purchased a ticket, we will refund you 50% up to one week before the walk.

How did you come up with these walks?
Each walk is curated collaboratively between Create Culture and the walk leader. We try to think creatively about walks that fulfill Create Culture's goals and the walk leader's interests and expertize. We try to create walks that are at once playful and spiritual.
