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.

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.

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 …
