WELCOME RECREATIONAL WALKERS, CYCLISTS, PADDLERS, VOLLEYBALL & TENNIS PLAYERS, DANCERS, HIKERS, SKATERS, SNOW SHOERS AND XC SKIERS! The Philosophy of Mocwa Group is to do Outdoor Events that are about 1.5 - 2/3 hrs. long and close to home for busy people. Watch for our fun and challenging activities like kayaking, tree top trekking, Dragonboat paddling, roller blading, xc skiing, tennis, beach volleyball, dancing, bowling, snow shoeing ... Please arrive a few minutes before the posted time to allow time for parking and our friendly Meet n' Greet & to contribute a Toonie to your volunteer HOST.
Please RSVP for the events you plan to attend. As a courtesy to the event host and fellow Mocwa's please update/change your RSVP if your plans change.

The walks are sociable but steady and fairly brisk so we have a good aerobic workout, too. Amazing photo ops along the way, check out some of the photos of past events.

Level I rides are between 30 km to 45 km in length at a pace of 17-19 km/hr. along trails and roadside bike lanes, usually about 1.5 - 3 hrs. long with occasional re-grouping. Level 2 Road Rides are between 30-60km at a pace of about 19-23 km/hr.  I will try to include some Leisure/Beginner Rides at a pace of about 16-18 km/hr. for about 1.5 hr that will have re-grouping and drop out locations. These Events will include Cycling Safety Tips! You must already be a fairly competent and confident rider to do all our rides with a late model well tuned bike. 

All you need to join is enthusiasm, a smile, water, a well tuned bike, comfortable hiking shoes and an umbrella. And your Toonie contributuon,

A monthly movie night and Chatter/Symposium Cafe is also on the agenda, plus other fun sociable activities. Check out our past events.

Out of Your Shell: Activities for the Shy & Socially Anxious

Toronto, ON

Out of Your Shell: Activities for the Shy & Socially Anxious

For people who are shy or socially anxious it is sometimes difficult to pull themselves out of the house and out of their safe routines. A sister group to The Toronto Shyness and Socially Anxious Support Group Meetup and The Shyness Workshop Meetup - we are an activity group for the extremely shy and socially anxious. We hope to make this a group where people can perhaps relax, foster real friendships and develop a sense of normalcy while in the company of others that experience the same fear of social situations on a daily basis. Together, let’s start experiencing life in spite of our social fears. There are several excellent Meetups that cater to support and self-improvement in the area of social phobia, but here we simply want to give therapy a break.
