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 walking club is for ladies that are interested in walking for exercise in the following beaches: Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, and Redondo Beach. I started this group because I want to meet other outdoor enthusiast and make new friendships with local women.

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.

This is for positive, fun people who live in Los Angeles, Hollywood, West LA, etc. You can be from elsewhere if you don't mind the drive.

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 …

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?

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 …

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 …

Disc Golf is an exceptionally mellow game, as you walk the parks and serene outdoor areas where the courses are located. It is also a way to help keep green & open spaces in our neighborhoods. 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 …

I enjoy easy paced hikes and strools every weekend and would enjoy the company of others to chat along the way. We will enjoy beautiful scenery and  the wild things of the Santa Monica Mountains, as well as an occational strool on the beach for a sunset. We will have picnics or go out for a bite to eat after words for a socialize. Kind Reagards: Chris

A group of Labrador/Retriever owners who are sooooo in love with the playful, loving nature of their dogs. It's so incredible to watch them play and have fun, it's all they want to do. Let's bring them together for a reunion of play, whilst we laugh at their latest antics and maybe discuss what they've just chewed up. They certainly teach us unconditional love! Whether it's a dog park, hike or someone's yard, let's celebrate our best friends and bring them together for fun.

Join local people for power walks, awesome stair climbs, and hikes in and around the Santa Monica Canyon, West Rustic Canyon, the district north of Montana, the Palisades and Topanga State Park environs. Our walks (which include climbing hundreds of stairs) and hikes are in small groups of 4-6 people because of the areas we walk in.....mainly quiet, unique and cherished private neighborhoods.  The reason we keep our walking groups small is to not create noise, disrespect or impact on the residen …

This is a group for anyone interested in training their dog etc. All dog skills levels are welcome. I started this group to meet other dog lover enthusiasts to help obedience train dogs to understand hand signals, gestures, and voice/sound commands of the human language. I am exploring ways in helping everybody learn to communicate with their dog in a positive way as a group and make new friends while we meet up for walk and talks with our dogs to reinforce their dog training in the field.
