About this Event

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.


Details

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.
FAQ

  • Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
  • We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.
  • We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the intention of this space.
  • Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.
  • Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!

LOGISTICS

  • If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event.
  • This walk is designed for everyone to move together at the same steady pace (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs.
  • Read our Orientation Guide for full details.
  • If you enjoy the event, send to a friend or sign up for our . We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋
