Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

IMPORTANT: We post these walks on Eventbrite so new folks can find us, but this isn't where we live. We don't update or communicate through Eventbrite. For the most accurate walk schedule, weather cancellations, and community updates, join your city's Meetup group: that's our home base. See you on the trail!

If you crave depth and genuine connection, join a walking think tank of curious people, topics spark meaningful conversations, and you leave inspired.

The Board Walks are for curious people who love deep conversations.
If that sounds like you, bring a thoughtful topic and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!).
HOW IT WORKS
Step 1: Bring a topic
Before you arrive, think of one topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event.
Step 2: Circle up & share
We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds.
Step 3: Walk, talk & float
We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!"
Step 4: Feel more alive
Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times.

HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC
A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about.
Recent topics include:

• "What are you passionate about right now?"
• "What makes a good friend?"
• "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"
• "How do you want to be remembered?"
• "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"

Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.
But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here.
