This is a group for those who love ideas, culture, great conversations, and staying active all year long. We read works of (primarily) fiction with a strong sense of time and place, ideally written by an author from the locale in which it’s set. Traveling the world in our reading, it seems only fitting that the discussion be also on the move! So we take our conversations out-of-doors for a walk around our wonderful local Twin cities neighborhoods, lakes, parks, etc. and conclude for final though …

This group is for both the experienced pole walker and those curious about what we're doing out there with our poles. It's always more fun to walk with a group and we love to introduce newbies to our favorite way of walking. Come along to enjoy the fitness, fun and rhythm of the poles! We'll explore lots of trails throughout the metro area and beyond. There's usually extra poles in the trunk of my car so you don't have to have your own to join us.

I am starting this group for adults looking to get out, meet new people and have fun in a really casual environment.

I think my target demographic is 30 - 60, male, female, transgendered, transsexual, straight, gay, single, married, separated, …

Bereaved Mamas is a compassionate and healing group for ber …

Every week, I would like to schedule one evening run during the week and one morning run on the weekend. Most runs will be in Cottage Grove or nearby.

Get together with other local Veterans, Reservists and National Guard Soldiers (including Air Force, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard) and do outdoor activities with others who know what it's like to serve or have a family member who serves. It is a place to meet other Veterans somewhere other than a bar or club - I don't mean to imply that the VFW and American Legion are just bars or clubs - they do much more than just provide a place for Vets to get together and toss back some cold ones, and I'm …
