This is a group for anyone interested in hiking---with a mission to help others! Our hikes are drives where we collect items for local shelters and/or schools.

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 …

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, …
