These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

This is a group for anyone interested in taking walks on beautiful Bay Area trails while discussing topics around life fulfillment, personal growth and professional development. We started this group because we appreciate the healthy and healing effects of the great outdoors and have discovered that fresh air, exercise and group sharing open the mind and heart.

We all just want to have fun and let go sometimes, right? This group is just about that! In this group you will have a chance to do random activities throughout the San Francisco area. These events can vary from dodgeball to cooking to poker nights to whatever random idea sounds like fun!

We are a group of girls and guys in our 20's and 30's who want to play the game of Soccer/ Futbol ( we don't mind what you call it). We come from different backgrounds but have many things in common; main one being our love for soccer! We try to play every Saturday mornings starting 11am until we're too tired. Usually, we get done by 1pm. It's not competitive, most of us have played in high school, college, or only once, and just want to continue to play in a fun, friendly, chill environment.

Are you interested in exploring the all the great park lands around the Bay Area? We're a group of physically fit people interested in exploring hikes from 4 to 10 miles all around the SF Bay.

Hello Everyone! So I don't know what's going on but the people that I have met lately through daily interactions have been completely opposite of the type of person I am. I really do get along with everyone, but recently I haven't met people that I have a lot in common with so I thought I would take this approach to meet great people. I love doing random fun stuff throughout the week, hiking, exploring anything anywhere, trying new things (because that new thing could turn into something awesome …

The free Cafe la Boheme writing practice has now gone on continuously every Friday at noon since March 27, 2009. Every Friday a little before noon people gather at a table. They write short phrases on scraps of paper and fold them and put them in the center of the table. Somebody sets a timer and picks a prompt at random and reads it aloud. Everybody writes. When the timer goes off we go around the table and read aloud one by one. Nobody comments. We just read aloud. Then the next person picks a …
