For hundreds of thousands of years, our ancestors lived directly with the land, and our ancient instincts are still present, though covered by a thin veneer of modern sophistication. Re-learning our connection with the land and the fascinating skills necessary to meet our needs: Teaches us how to satisfy our needs and builds confidence. Teaches the value of cooperation. Teaches an indigenous perspe …

This group is dedicated to taking beautiful pictures of the natural world or including natural elements. Ever since I received my first camera at age 7, photographing nature was always my primary artistic passion. And ever since I joined the digital revolution a few years ago with the purchase of my first DSLR I have been working to build up a portfolio of images of nature. Now I would like to get together with other photographers with the same passion. I'd also love to share my knowledge and ex …

I hike almost every weekend, and I enjoy doing with others to chat along the hike to occupy the time while enjoying the scenery.

I am a long time personal trainer/trail guide and I love our Santa Monica Mountains. I love to share the beauty with others. If you want to get out there and appreciate where we live, join me and my friends! There is nothing better than breathing the fresh ocean air while pumping up a hill.

… I think we’re more likely to give nature its due as independent, animated space. How do we perceive the shape and spirit of the cities we live in? We too often disconnect from our urban spaces, but in doing so we forget that we’re always creatures of habitat. Whatever place we reside, we learn to “be” in that place – survive, thrive – just as our ancestors did. What can change in our “being” (or being there) when we come to know the city we call home? Likewise, urban hiking can help us recla …
