Walks of Kindness
Spark Emotional Health In Your Community!
In our modern world, in-person connection isn’t always easy. But when you take TKC’s Walk of Kindness (a “WK” for short), you experience something unique. A purposeful walk that boosts your health, and gives back at the same time.
TKC’s Walks of Kindness Program started with a simple idea: to grow community connection. Whether you’re here to make friends, deepen bonds, or rally for a cause, our WK’s make it easy with conversation prompts and a check-in/check-out. WK’s are a give and a get: you give presence, reflection, and a listening ear to your walk mates. You get all of that in return, plus health benefits, plus a tie to a larger movement. We’re making meaningful change through in-person connection and emotionally healthy communities, one walk at a time.

Let’s Talk: Grounding, Gratitude, & Green
🌎 Grounding
Let’s talk about something that helps us feel calm and centered when life gets overwhelming.
➤ What helps you feel grounded when things get a little crazy?
➤ When you feel grounded, what changes do you notice in your body—your breath, your muscles, your energy?
💛 Gratitude
Let’s talk about something we’re grateful for today—big or small.
➤ What’s something you’ve been appreciating lately?
➤ What changes for you when you are practicing gratitude- mood, mindset, energy?
🌳 Green (Nature)
Let’s talk about how nature supports our mental health.
➤What’s your favorite thing about being outside right now?
➤ How does being in nature make you feel different than being indoors?
Step 4: Post-Walk Check-Out
Check back in with yourself here to reflect on your walk. Take a moment to notice any improvements in your mood, body or connections. If you loved it, go to step 5!
Step 5: Schedule Your Next Walk
“Let’s do this again!”
Before everyone leaves, pull out your phones and pick a tentative date for your next WK.
Lets keep the momentum going!
