The Dusty Drifters Team
We believe in the transformative benefits of walking and have come together to share that joy through our company. From our base in Hawai'i, we draw on three decades of global walking experience to enrich the content of our digital learning platform. These courses are designed to unlock the myriad benefits of walking as physical exercise, a meditative practice, and a culturally enriching journey. Our services empower individuals to create their own communities through our Walking Club best practices and to build friendships through the Premier Membership. Join us to experience the healing power of these mindfulness walking practices.

I’m Jose Ferreira, the founder of Dusty Drifters. In the last twenty years, I’ve explored the intersection of art, education, and wellness, carving a unique niche in the entrepreneurial world. While not academic, this website is inspired by my career as a professor and faculty member at institutions in the United States and Europe. The genesis of these courses began at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I introduced an innovative class that left an indelible mark on the curriculum of the Sculpture Department. In 2010, a semester-long class dedicated to the philosophy of walking, integrating theory and practice, quickly gained popularity among students. This website is the online incarnation of those lessons in a very different form. Now based in Hawai'i, I dedicate myself to exploring walking as a profound expression of art. This exploration is philosophical and personal, a way of understanding the world.
