Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

<a href="http://www.theboardwalks.com/">The Board Walks</a> 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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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 <a href="https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation">Orientation Guide.</a> HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include:<ul><li>"What are you passionate about right now?"</li><li>"What makes a good friend?"</li><li>"What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?"</li><li>"How do you want to be remembered?"</li><li>"What would you do if money wasn't a factor?"</li></ul>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<ul><li>Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!</li><li>We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space.</li><li>We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the <a href="https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules">intention</a> of this space.</li><li>Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know.</li><li>Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!</li></ul>LOGISTICS<ul><li>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.</li><li>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.</li><li>Read our <a href="https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation">Orientation Guide</a> for full details.</li><li>If you enjoy the event, send <a href="http://www.theboardwalks.com/">this</a> to a friend or sign up for our <a href="https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/">newsletter</a>. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋</li></ul>IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER... <a href="https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board">The Board</a> is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up.<ul><li>This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
