This is a group that will walk at a slow pace, about 20-minute miles. It's meant to be social, so we'll hopefully talk while we're walking. We'll mostly walk around the Brentwood Country Club, although eventually we may branch out to other routes. The walks will be during the day, not the evening. I would love for you to join us!

This is a hiking group, plus other misc. events (Wine Tasting, Museums, etc) for people in their 20s and 30s. It's a good way to stay in shape and make some new friends.

Let's deepen our experience of walking in the Santa Monica Mountains and being with others through silent, mindful walking meditation on the way out or up. And friendly talking, chatting, and yakking on the way down. Walking quietly in a group can be a powerful support for mindfulness. And being mindful while walking in nature--mindful of our steps, our bodies, our thoughts and feelings, or mindful of the nature around us--is a wonderful way to build and integrate awareness of our selves and the …

Sierra Singles, a Sierra Club group, does not require membership in the Sierra Club to participate (although you may like the events and want to join). The group offers local events. The hikes range generally from 2-4 miles and easy to moderate. There are some hikes that will be moderate-difficult to difficult, so please check the skill level of a hike before you RSVP. Also, given the fact that many of our hikes now have waiting lists, we've started a new NO-SHOW policy. If you RSVP for a hike w …

We hike the dirt trail path up the left hand side (not the paved road) which is said to be the more challenging path (still pretty easy). This hike is l …

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?

United Steps is a privately funded non-profit organization based in Los Angeles, California. Our primary mission is to reverse the cycle of homelessness with practical methods. In Southern California, we’ve developed a dangerous tolerance for assuming that having thousands of people living on the streets is acceptable. This is an embarrassing and shameful environment which has caused Los Angeles to become the capitol of homelessness in America. The reality is that more than enough food, housing, …

This is a group for Baby Boomers interested in hiking, tennis, golfing, etc. All skills levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other mature active lifestyle enthusiasts.

Hi Everyone, I've met a lot of great people, but I think that this group's focus was a little "off" when I created it. I've heard a lot from people who wish is was "more vegan-friendly" as well as people from the other side of the fence who left because the group was too vegan-centric, and they weren't really interested. I briefly thought about shutting us down and creating a new group, but 117 members is nothing to laugh at. I've thought about it a lot, and I'm going to put together some events …

I started this collaboration because after therapy, medication and therapy group programs, besides the 12 Step Programs, I could not easily find a way to connect with the millions of people who are looking for holistic ways to heal themselves of high stress and experiences of anxiety, panic, phobias, depression more. This group is designed as an avenue for support and collaboration for people looking to live their authentic selves and mastering their emotional, mental and spiritual health and w …

We recently started an optional $2 buy in for an opportunity to win a used disc golf disc, with all proceeds going toward a Progressive charity or non-profit selected each month. To fin …
