About us

 

The story

 

Clarity Walk was founded by Matt Wallace in August 2019 using the methods which helped him recover from depression. These methods were taking time away from digital devices, spending more time in nature and connecting regularly with others.

It is our mission to bring people together in nature with our activities to build stronger, more connected communities to reduce isolation, anxiety and depression.

 

“Nobody should have to walk alone”
