Walking is a great activity to help you meet your health and fitness goals.  It is a wonderful way to see new places and meet fun people. While this is mainly a walking group, we occasionally post other fitness activities such as hiking, biking or kayaking. Most of our events are on the eastside, including (but not limited to) Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Woodinville, Sammamish, Issaquah and Mercer Island. Every once in a while we will post an event in Seattle or elsewhere. We like routes that a …

Zen-Like--Are you spiritual and contemplative and find that in nature you can connect with that side of yourself? Do you feel closer to God, Spirit, the Universe, or whatever name you have for that ineffable something, when you’re surrounded by nature? Does the shaman(esse) within you just want to touch your feet to the ground, stick your nose into the foliage, breathe in and say ahhh? If so, then you may really enjoy being a part of our community, make friends and enjoy the green and lush North …

This group is intended to be a place where anyone can come and develop their awareness. We will build a group that meets to practice expanding their senses, exploring para-psychological abilities, and trusting our intuitive signals. The exercises I will bring are drawn from my experience in wilderness survival schools and native traditions, martial arts/dance/body awareness, and meditation. We will be meeting outdoors, and there will be some physicality involved, but that is minimal and our focu …

Meet other out-of-shape local hiking enthusiasts in this dog-and-family-friendly group. We'll set a slower pace, and start with easier, shorter hikes.

My inspiration for forming this group comes from observing my partner, who has MS, walking normally on rare occasions. Science and medicine cannot explain how she manages to have done it, but they know why she needs assistance for the rest of the day. Their explanation is that nerves have lost their ability to conduct signals. They focus on damage control. I am more concerned about those nerves that found a way to conduct signals - and at no cost for expensive drugs. Join me in exploring how the …

Seeing if anyone else out there remembers how much fun it was/is to get up in the air and see things from a different perspective. There are no age limits just your desire to have fun goofing around in trees, carefully. I live near Discovery Park in Magnolia so we'll start with some that I like there but hoping others will share or discover other places with outstanding climbing trees. With spring finally here and summer within sight, this felt like the perfect time to unleash our inner-climbers …
