Connect Outdoors

Santa Cruz, CA

Welcome to our Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Jose hiking and friendship group. Make friends and sweat 💦😅😋😊👍. We offer an array of outdoor activities, with a focus on moderate to challenging hikes. Our hikes are also a place to learn some of the natural history of our area. Some hikes will go slowly enough to identify and photograph plants and mushrooms, and the occasional newt or bird (or mammal, of course). Other hikes are more focused on getting a good workout in a beautiful environment, in the company of other pleasant people. Most of our hikes are a mix of the two. Please be compassionate and mindful of everyone during our hikes. We also sponsor a smaller number of indoor activities, be it (optionally) getting together at a pub or restaurant after a hike, or our monthly, roving trivia night. We sometimes refer to these events, affectionately and mirthfully, as "Connect Indoors". Please join us!

Soquel SoleMates Hiking Group

Soquel, CA

We are a friendly group of avid forest bathers who will be meeting usually 2-3 times a month, typically on a weekday morning, to explore our wonderful and numerous local and beyond trails. Our hikes will range from Easy to Challenging/Difficult depending on the chosen adventure. Most will be in the Santa Cruz County area. But we do oft-times venture out to trails in the counties of Monterey and San Mateo. Maximum group size will be 12 so as not to overwhelm nature with our presence. And all attendees should be fully COVID 19 vaccinated so as to allow us all to go mask-free if we desire. We trust everyone will be honest about their status when they sign up. I personally tend to hike at a fairly rapid pace but can certainly appreciate the value of slowing down a bit to fully enjoy our surroundings so pace is flexible. I strive to be thorough in my Event write-ups so please read through them carefully so that you can enjoy the pleasure of hiking trails that interest you and match your skill level. Start times will vary. Typically anywhere from 8am to 10am depending on time of year, travel distance and parking considerations. Try to be on time but we will wait until 10 minutes after the start time for any late arrivals. If you arrive beyond that time please feel free to try and catch up to us! **Very important - I ask that if you do sign up for one of our scheduled hikes and then change your mind about attending please please change your status to "Not Going". Or just simply message me and I will remove you from the Going list. And please do this as soon as you realize that you plan to withdraw. There is always a long Waitlist of people who would like to attend and this way it opens up a space for someone else.** I look forward to healthy fresh air exercise with new friends as we explore our beautiful outdoors! **Legal Disclaimer**: The hosts in this group are not professional guides, and each person who signs up for a hike, event, or other outing is responsible for his or her own safety and the safety of his or her guests and property. By signing up for this hike, or any other event organized by this group, you are acknowledging that you are aware of the risks, dangers and hazards associated with any outdoor activity and freely accept and fully assume all such risks, dangers and hazards. And further agree to release and discharge the organizer, assistant organizers, event organizers and event hosts of this Meetup group from any and all liability arising from your and your guest's participation in the group activities.

Holotropic Breathwork in Santa Cruz

Soquel, CA

In this group we’ll explore healing potential of breath on 4 fundamental levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

My name is Lana Elco. You can learn more about my consciousness work and psycho-spiritual practices on my website:

https://breathofremembrance.com/

I am offering two powerful modalities Breath of Remembrance and Holotropic Breathwork on the regular basis.

Breath of Remembrance is a similar modality that allows you to explore the depth of your subconscious reality in 3 hour or 5 hour workshop ( I offer shorter and longer version now). So it is perfect for both beginners who have never tried breathwork before and experienced breathers who want to develop consistent breathwork practice. We shift the perception of time in expanded states of consciousness so even a few hours can be life changing and transformational.

Breath of Remembrance: https://breathofremembrance.com/

Holotropic breathwork is one of the most powerful and deepest spiritual tools available for humanity today. Discovered by Stan and Christina Grof, the pioneers of transpersonal psychology. It is a deep dive into your subconscious to heal old wounds and it usually requires one day commitment.

Holotropic Breathwork: https://breathofremembrance.com/holotropic-breathwork

Both modalities offer an opportunity for

- Self-exploration,

- Healing old traumas of body and psyche,

- Releasing energetic blocks,

- Breaking through life crisis,

- Connecting with your intuition and wisdom,

- Transforming habitual life patterns,

- Opening up to transpersonal realms and creativity,

- Receiving your own authentic answers to important questions

- Processing suppressed emotions

-Stepping into your power and reconnecting with your Divine Self

The key principle is to trust the Inner Healer activated inside of us in non-ordinary state of consciousness. Every person has their own healing process with the content and quality unique for this particular moment.

Private sessions are available. Check my website.

Eat for the Earth Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz, CA

Do you ache to make a difference with what’s happening with our planet? Are you ready to roll up your sleeves and engage in effective activism in collaboration with a dynamic, committed community? Or, are you concerned about your own health and the health of those around you, and desire to make some changes! You are probably aware that our dietary choices impact the environment by contributing to the climate crisis, species loss, deforestation, and many other challenges. Simultaneously, diet-caused chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart disease lead to disability and early death for far too many of our family members and friends. We can each take action to address these crises by transitioning to healthy, sustainable plant-based diets. **Eat for the Earth aids that shift through education, tools, support, partnerships, and love.** **Eat for the Earth Santa Cruz welcomes your participation!** Eat for the Earth is working to make it easier for people to eat more plants and less animal products, or to adopt and maintain an entirely plant-based lifestyle for those who are interested. You might call yourself an environmentalist. Or a vegan, vegetarian, or flexitarian. Or a lover of the earth or concerned citizen. Or an omnivore who aligns with our mission. **Whatever you call yourself, we are glad you found this group!** Whatever you call yourself, you are welcome to join this community. If you feel the call, then your unique skills and sensibilities are needed for this movement! **Our vision includes transforming Santa Cruz County into a model of sustainable eating.** We offer education about the environmental and health benefits of plant-based and plant-strong diets, provide practical tools and nurture community with our nutrition education and food preparation classes, provide support with our dietary immersion program, and engage in advocacy to change systems. **We hope you will join us!** *To find out more information, visit the* ***[Eat for the Earth website.](https://www.eatfortheearth.org/)***
