A bit of history

Walk Your Talk was originally created by Robin Alfred, Charlie O' Malley and Paul Simpson, who were brought together by Social Venture Network (Europe) and inspired/encouraged by Paul Dickinson. Set up as a conference, WYT aimed to serve cutting edge entrepreneurs creating new models of organisations that hold the promise for an environmentally and socially sustainable society.  The idea was to run events with a strong emphasis on the process of peer-to-peer learning and support, which also concentrated on the practical (walking) as much as the theoretical (talking). For the first three years, it was held at Findhorn in Scotland.

Since 2006 the event has been held at Buckland Hall in the Brecon Beacons, organised with generous sponsorship by Inspired Lives, modoto and Tenemos Consulting.  The Association of Sustainability Practitioners (ASP) now provides administrative support, and the organisers are considering the idea of offering Walk Your Talk experiences more than once a year.
