I often like to escape the confines of the indoors and walk about. The experience I find is far more pleasant with others around. To that end I’ve created this group for open minded walkers of the Westside. Join us each week for a walk or two, won’t you?

This group is about doing evening exercise through an easy-paced walk after dinner around the Marina.

The walk is approximately 2.5 miles and will take anywhere between 45 min to 1 hour. We will start at 7 pm in front of the Marina Del Rey public library and walk along the Marina by the water along Bali Way pier, Mindanao Way pier through Burton Park, towards Fiji Way and back. We …

Join local people for power walks, awesome stair climbs, and hikes in and around the Santa Monica Canyon, West Rustic Canyon, the district north of Montana, the Palisades and Topanga State Park environs. Our walks (which include climbing hundreds of stairs) and hikes are in small groups of 4-6 people because of the areas we walk in.....mainly quiet, unique and cherished private neighborhoods.  The reason we keep our walking groups small is to not create noise, disrespect or impact on the residen …

This group is for anyone seeking self-awareness and a deeper understanding of oneself and others. The meditative technique of Walking-In-Your-Shoes (WIYS) is inspired by the Native American proverb: “You can never know another person until you have walked a mile in his moccasins.” WIYS is a group practice that teaches one how to access deep knowledge from the body in motion. In these walking meditations guided by Joseph, WIYS can explore any dynamic in life, including life purpose, health sympto …

This meet up is all about exploring Los Angeles on foot.  There are so many interesting parts of Los Angeles that you never notice as you drive by it in your car.  By getting out and exploring the city, we'll discover new things we didn't know existed.  We'll try to keep most hikes between 4-7 miles to make sure we have time to complete the hike and have time to explore during the hike. What is Urban Hiking? An urban hike gives us the chance to explore the terrain we live in, to contemplate how …

It's time to get to the beach and party! I decided to start this group because I've always been envious of the larger groups of people hanging out together at the beach on weekends.

The purpose of the group is to play backyard/beach games like KanJam, Beach Volleyball, Frisbee, etc, or just socialize and get a tan. Feel free to bring food and drinks! Our group will meet on the …

This group is created specifically for Creative Writers, who know they have something beautiful, meaningful, or helpful to say, know (or may not know yet) that they are incredibly talented, can make the time for writing, yet somehow, something else seems to always get in the way. We all know how self-defeating procrastination can be, waiting for a better time ("when I have more hours, when I am less rushed, etc.") until the opportunity is lost, but also that procrastination is merely a habit. J …
