Our Group: This group centers around the lifestyle of running and hiking/walking with our dogs and enjoying a high-end sudsy beverage — and increasing awareness of how dogs are true partners to humans. Extra Fun: Among our everyday events you'll find the random dog-friendly event that doesn't have anything to do with a run or a hike, but likely a beer or some wine. Keep an eye on the group as we develop something new and exciting in the running community! Supporting Service Dogs: Currently, t …

We are people who like to go out in cities and sometimes rural settings and photograph abandoned or dilapidated buildings. We appreciate the history behind each of these buildings no matter how common they seem to most people. Often we find ourselves waking up at the crack of dawn to go road trip wherever necessary it is to go find these types of places. The experience often includes long walks or hikes and so …

A group for adventurous dogs and their people. The plan is to set up meetups for some of our favorite things to do with our dogs: off-leash hiking, walking, group playdates, training field trips, on-leash socialization walks etc. We'll try out new things when we find them...we're open to all suggestions! We don't discriminate based on breed or type, but we do ask that dogs are non-dog-aggressive to attend certain events, such as group playdates or off-leash hikes. 

Hi! I lost my job in 2011 and started hiking to lose the weight I had gained and to find peace of mind. I've released almost 30 pounds (and counting) and found serenity.

These are Spirit-led guided hikes, designed to connect you with inner wisdom, to live your own Heart Song. There is a drop-in fee and discounts are available for monthly packages. I offer the hikes to women, co-ed and co …
