About this Event



Go Farther Within


What if meeting new people didn't have to feel awkward?

What if instead of sitting across from strangers trying to make conversation, you walked together, explored somewhere beautiful, moved your body, laughed, talked, and actually connected?

That's what Mindexpanse is about.

Join us for a Sunday morning coastal adventure combining hiking, nature, intentional conversation, and an optional ocean swim.

You'll meet a small group of people who are also looking for something a little more real than the usual social scene.



What we'll do


Hike.
Explore the trail together at a comfortable, social pace.

Connect.
We'll use simple conversation prompts and shared experiences to move beyond the usual "So, what do you do?"

Explore.
Take in the coastline, get some fresh air, and experience San Diego from a different perspective.

Swim.
We'll finish with an optional ocean swim for those who want to get in the water.

You don't have to swim if you don't want to. Come for the hike, the people, the conversations, and the experience.


Date: Sunday, September 13

Start: 8:30 AM

Meeting Point: Saigon Trailhead

Experience: Approximately 5 hours

Ticket: $25

Format: Small-group guided experience

Ocean swim: Optional

Guided meditation: Included

Please arrive by 8:30 AM so we can begin together.




WHY MIND EXPANSE?

A lot of group events put people in the same place without actually helping them connect.

You arrive.

You make small talk.

You stay around the people you already know.

Then everyone goes home.

Mindexpanse is designed differently.

Walking side by side, exploring a beautiful environment, sharing experiences, and having space for genuine conversation can make it easier to connect naturally.

There is no pressure to perform, network, or impress anyone.

Just come as you are.

Nature. Connection. Perspective. Community.




WHAT TO BRING

Please bring:

Comfortable hiking shoes

Plenty of water

Swimsuit

Towel

Sunscreen

Weather-appropriate clothing

Small backpack

Optional:

Snacks

Sunglasses

Journal

Camera

Trekking poles

Most importantly, bring curiosity — about theplace you're exploring and the people exploring it beside you.


Who is this for?

This is for you if you:

  • Want to meet interesting people in San Diego
  • Are tired of superficial small talk
  • Enjoy hiking, nature, and adventure
  • Want to make new friends
  • Are new to the area
  • Want to do something different on a Sunday morning
  • Enjoy meaningful conversations
  • Are comfortable showing up by yourself

You do NOT need to come with a friend.

In fact, coming alone is encouraged.

That's part of the experience.


Come as you are. Come alone. Go farther within.

If you've been looking for a reason to getoutside, meet new people, and have a Sunday morning that actually feels meaningful—

this is it.

Reserve your spot for $25.

Limited spots available.
