Phoenix Hiking & Meeting New People
Hi! Our group is about appreciating nature 🌳, the earth 🌎, the sun ☀️, being healthy, the joy of meeting new people AND HAVING FUN... with friendly open-minded people of all ages / sizes / colors / orientations / extroverts or introverts / creeds welcome. Our Hiking and Happy Hour events are all about the fun of course, and also about the JOURNEY AND THE PEOPLE. It's not a race or competition. We leave no one behind. Given the diversity of our events, some may need a helping hand - I got your back, whether it's a hand to climb down a steep and slippery rock, or simply someone to talk to. I appreciate everyone that comes to our events and care about your experience. 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ I started this meetup because after countless hiking events as a participant, or alone - for me I find that hiking with people is better than doing it alone - especially during these troubled times. 2020 made me realize how important the human connection is - we are social creatures. We are stronger together. 🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏽 If I post a meetup here I am hosting (there may be others I am NOT hosting) - it is because I AM GOING - short of some personal emergency/sickness. We ask the same courtesy of those that sign up for events here - if you RSVP - please commit. If something "comes up" (and I understand plans change) then PLEASE remove your RSVP to allow others to join and so that I know to not wait for you. PLEASE do not put comments on the events or Message me with whatever reason it is you cannot make it - truthfully I don't have time to be reading that you can't make it because you ran out of gas or got a flat tire - PLEASE just simply change your RSVP to not going. Simple. Save the taxi cab confessions for your therapist. Thank you for reading and I hope it encourages you to JOIN US on our events. Now let's have SOME FUN! It can only get better. It WILL get better. #2023🤝

Sharing A New Paradigm

Mesa, AZ

Sharing A New Paradigm

The purpose of this group is in finding our gifts and sharing it with others. I started this group to provide a safe place to share ourselves and to share knowledge gained, to learn new perspectives and new tools we can use in our daily lives. You can expect each meetup to be different and varied by group discussions, group exercises, watching videos as a group, meditations, volunteered members to give short presentations on topics of their choice, community social experiments inspiring more love and happiness in the world....among other things. There are no limits for this group. We are creating the new paradigm... a paradigm that focuses on collaboration, encouragement, inspiration, mentoring, friendship, compassion, opening minds, wisdom sharing, TOLERANCE, self-empowerment, non judgment... and all interwoven through joy and in the essence of love. UBUNTU

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away." - Pablo Picasso

“When we plant a rose seed in the earth, we notice that it is small, but we do not criticize it as "rootless and stemless." We treat it as a seed, giving it the water and nourishment required of a seed. When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped; nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change; yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.” ― W. Timothy Gallwey, The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance
