An Invitation to Step Into Wonder

Sometimes life moves so quickly that we forget to notice what is right in front of us.

Yet wonder isn’t something reserved for extraordinary places or special occasions. More often, it begins when we slow down and pay attention.

By learning to see differently, following our curiosity, and noticing the beautiful poetry of everyday life, we begin to feel more grounded, more connected, and more fully present.

Week of Wonder is an invitation to rediscover a different way of moving through the world.

Imagine finishing Week of Wonder feeling a little lighter.

You notice beauty in places you once hurried past.

You find yourself pausing more often, following your curiosity, and appreciating the richness of everyday life.

You feel more connected to yourself, to the changing seasons, and to the world around you.

And you leave with simple practices and a renewed way of seeing that you will carry forward with you beyond this week.

We don’t need to travel further or do more extraordinary things to experience wonder.

Often, we simply need to remember how to notice.

What We’ll Explore

Invitation 1 — Arriving
Creating space for presence through inward noticing

Invitation 2 — Seeing Differently
Opening your attention and discovering new ways of seeing

Invitation 3 — Following Curiosity
Allowing wonder to guide your exploration

Invitation 4 — Making Meaning
Giving creative form to what catches your attention

Invitation 5 — (Re)connecting Through Wonder
Exploring the connections to yourself and the world around you

Invitation 6 — Celebrating & Continuing On
Carrying the practice of wonder into everyday life

How It Works

Every day, over the course of six days:

1. Receive your daily invitation.
You’ll receive an email with a link to that day’s invitation video. I’ll introduce the day’s theme, guide you through a practice or exercise, and offer your wonder prompt.

2. Explore and reflect.
You’ll have the rest of the day to follow the invitation in your own time, and use your Wonder Companion to capture whatever you notice, discover, or experience.

3. Share, if you’d like.
You’re invited to share a photo, thought, discovery, or moment of wonder in our private Facebook group. There’s no expectation to participate and you’re also welcome to simply enjoy the experience for yourself.

Week of Wonder will run live from September 14–19, 2026.

I encourage you to move through the six invitations as they unfold, allowing each one to become part of your day rather than saving everything for later. If your circumstances don’t allow for this, you’ll also have access to the videos and materials for three months, through December 19, 2026, so you can revisit the experience and return to practices that resonate with you.

What’s Included

Six daily invitation emails with guided video sessions to help you slow down, notice differently, and explore wonder throughout the week
The Wonder Companion PDF with space for reflection, noticing, and capturing what emerges
An optional private Facebook group for sharing photos, discoveries, and moments of wonder with others
Three months of access to the invitation videos and materials, so you can revisit the experience and return to practices that resonate

Ways We’ll Explore Wonder

Throughout the week, we’ll draw on a variety of gentle and creative practices, which might include:

mindful photography
somatic movement and breath
guided visualisation
walking and noticing
creative writing and reflection
playful creative responses
sensory awareness and mindful attention

“A journey that began as belonging to a like-minded community from different continents, has evolved into an important and vital appointment with and for myself.

I have discovered enchantment in the ordinary that surrounds us.“

– Hettie | Johannesburg, South Africa
(participant in A Year of Creative Walking Tours)

Meet Your Guide

Bonjour. I’m Marianne de Kleer, and I live in the French countryside.

After leaving my last job in 2018, I discovered that walking, noticing and spending time outdoors helped me find calm and clarity in a time of many possibilities for the future. That practice eventually led me to become a certified sophrologist and to begin creating experiences that bring together presence, creativity, embodiment and attention.

Over the years, I’ve guided creative walking challenges, workshops, courses and retreats, helping people slow down, notice differently and reconnect with the everyday world around them.

Week of Wonder brings these threads together. Some invitations will take you outside, while others will invite you to explore wonder through movement, breath, reflection and creative response.

Kind Words From Past Participants

A few reflections from women who have explored creative walking, mindful attention, and embodied practices with me in previous programs and workshops.

“The format is beautifully simple: walk with a prompt and then, if you’d like, share about it.

These prompts became an anchor in my week. They inspired me to observe and explore the beauty around me, whether I was walking through a parking lot or along a favorite trail.

I also loved the sense of connection that emerged as participants shared their walks from around the world.

– Kristin | Vermont, USA
(participant in A Year of Creative Walking Tours)

“Suddenly my world has opened up again and there’s a newfound beauty all around.

Not only does each intention spark inspiration, I love how the community shares their experiences and photos of their vibrant worlds. The creative prompts shine a new energetic light in every step we take outside.”

– Vesna | New York, NY, USA
(Creative Walking Challenge participant)

“This practice gave me a way to ‘retreat’ within my everyday life.

I began seeing new perspectives in familiar surroundings and Marianne’s guidance helped me to reconnect with creative parts of myself that had been dormant.”

– Lindseigh | Langely, BC, Canada
(Creative Walking Challenge participant)

“What a lovely experience!

It changed the way I looked at my everyday, familiar surroundings.

Just focusing on something else for a change made my world a whole lot bigger, and so much more interesting.”

– Franci | Hartenbos, South Africa
(Creative Walking Challenge participant)

Questions You May Have

When does the program run?

Week of Wonder runs live with pre-recorded videos from September 14 to 19, 2026.

What happens after I sign up?

Once you register, you’ll receive a welcome email with everything you need to get started, including access to the optional private Facebook group.

I’ll be in touch again the day before we begin with a short introduction to the week ahead and anything you may want to have ready.

Your first invitation will arrive by email on Monday, September 14 at 9:00 AM CEST.

Can I participate from anywhere?

Yes, absolutely! Week of Wonder is designed for a worldwide community, and I love having people join from different corners of the world.

The daily emails will be sent at 9:00 AM CEST (Paris time), so depending on where you are, yours may arrive at the beginning, middle, or end of your day. There’s no need to follow the exact timing, though. You can explore each invitation whenever it works best for you.

Do I need to participate every day or complete everything?

No. Week of Wonder is an invitation, not a checklist. I encourage you to experience the invitations as they unfold during the live week, but there is no requirement to participate every day or complete every practice.

Come as you are, follow what interests you, and return to anything you’ve missed when you have the time and space.

Do I need any experience or special equipment?

No experience is required, and you don’t need any special equipment.

You’ll be able to watch the videos on your phone, computer, or TV. If you’d like to journal or explore the creative invitations, you can use the Wonder Companion PDF (printed or digitally) or your own notebook.

If we work with photography, your phone camera is absolutely enough. And for creative activities, use whatever materials you already have at home; there’s no need to buy anything special.

Is there a community aspect?

Yes, but it’s completely optional.

You’ll have access to a private Facebook group where you can share reflections, photos, creative responses, or small moments of wonder throughout the week.

You’re also welcome to respond to others, celebrate their discoveries, and simply enjoy seeing what wonder looks like through someone else’s eyes.

Are there live calls?

There are no live calls.

How long will I have access?

You will have access to all the videos for three months, until December 19, 2026. This will allow you to go through the invitations again and explore further.
