Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

Sat, Jun 6, 12:00 PM
From The Board Walks – Columbus
5.0

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries. If the walks feel like a spark... The Board is the fire. Apply [here](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board).

Frequently asked questions

Meetup is a platform that brings people together to discover common interests through local groups and events. It connects users with others who share similar hobbies, lifestyles, or goals.

To find coastal walks, use Meetup's search feature. Simply enter 'coastal walks' along with your location to browse groups and events focused on exploring coastal routes in your area.

Yes, you can find outdoor groups near you on Meetup. Search by activity type or location to join communities of nature and hiking enthusiasts who organize regular outdoor meetups.

Absolutely, you can join several hiking groups to explore different trails and amenities. Each group may offer unique experiences, from weekly walks to challenging group hikes.

Yes, RSVPing is encouraged for Meetup events. This helps organizers manage attendance and communicate important details about the event. Make sure the event hasn't reached its capacity before RSVP'ing.

Meetup is free to use, allowing you to search for groups and RSVP to events without cost. However, some organizers may request a small fee for specific activities or events.

Hiking Meetups are organized by group hosts who plan walks, set meeting points, and provide details like duration and difficulty. Participants simply RSVP and show up to enjoy the experience with others.

Meetup can't guarantee you'll make friends, as successful connections depend on your active participation and engagement during events. It does create opportunities to meet potential friends, though.

Availability of coastal walks depends on the location and existing groups. While some areas may have numerous options, others might offer fewer opportunities for coastal routes.

Yes, group organizers are responsible for planning and hosting events. They determine the details and location, differing per group. Meetup provides the platform for these organizers.

Many groups welcome suggestions for new hiking routes from members. Discuss potential trails with the group organizer to see if your idea fits the group's plan or event structure.

Organization can vary by group and host. While many events are well-planned, experiences may differ based on the organizer’s approach and experience level. Participant feedback can improve future events.

Most Meetup groups allow you to bring a friend, but it’s best to check with the event organizer first. Make sure both of you RSVP so the planer can manage participants efficiently.

If you can't find a matching meetup, consider starting your own group. Meetup supports users creating groups to fill gaps in interest areas and connect with local enthusiasts.

Weather conditions can affect outdoor events. Organizers usually inform participants about weather-related changes. Be sure to check the event notes when you RSVP, especially in areas with variable weather.
