Hi, I’m Jamie Whittaker, founder of Journeys.
I’m 46, proudly sober for three and a half years, and I created Journeys in 2025 to help people reconnect with themselves, with nature and with other people.
Journeys brings people together through guided walks, outdoor adventures, wellbeing experiences, sober social events and inclusive community activities. From gentle countryside walks to bigger challenges, retreats and collaborations with local charities, every event is designed to help people feel welcome, supported and part of something.
Our events are LGBTQ+ inclusive, trans inclusive, neurodivergent-friendly and welcoming to anyone who wants to meet new people, improve their wellbeing or spend more time outdoors. You don’t need to be super fit, experienced or confident — you just need to come as you are.
Since launching Journeys, I’ve organised a growing range of successful events, including group walks, charity challenges, sober weekends, sound and relaxation experiences, Pride activities and wellbeing walks for people experiencing homelessness.
Journeys is built around three simple values:
Connect. Explore. Purpose.
Come along, meet some good people and see where the journey takes you.
