Welcome! Beat the Blues exists to provide nature hikes, campfire gatherings, weekend adventures, group travel, & other unique events for those who want to have new experiences and meet similar positive minded people doing the same.
I’m Michael. A few years back I found myself feeling isolated & trapped indoors during the pandemic while suffering the blow of a significant relationship end. Taking extreme accountability, I decided to take a hard look at myself and the direction of my life. I quickly became passionate about meditation, fitness, personal growth, and other wellness practices. As a result, I discovered the importance of nature for my wellbeing, as well as pushing the limits of my comfort zone. This has led to interests in primitive camping, backpacking, and traveling to serene locations all over the country.
My desire is to bring people together to live fearlessly and authentic. We will provide fun & adventurous activities that push self-limitations, promote mindfulness, and bring us in touch with our true selves in order to raise our vibe for the greatest good. So, if you're feeling apprehensive about joining us, rest assured you will meet a wonderful, welcoming group of diversified participants that will quickly make you feel right at home!
Please join our community initiative of beating the blues and raising inner wellness at our next event or message me with any questions you may have!

See all- In Bed By Ten - Dancing at Spirit: LawrencevilleSpirit Pgh, Pittsburgh, PA
Note: This is a ticketed event (that you purchase separately on your own), see below for ticket info.
In Bed by Ten is back for July! Come join us for a fun time dancing in an environment where everyone, of all ages, are just there to have fun and express themselves.
Here is the description from those that put on the event: "Returning to Spirit on Friday, July 18! DJ MB is back upstairs playing a mix of 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s tunes to make you sweat and get home early. Tickets on sale now! Plus the money from your $10 ticket ($12.51 after fees) goes to support Spirit Walls, an annual public art project and skill sharing workshop started by local artist Brian Gonnella in 2017."
Tickets: In Bed by Ten Tickets
They will have some tickets available at Spirit the day of, but I would recommend buying yourself a ticket online ahead of time. At the June event, the line started forming before 5:30pm and the onsite tickets were sold out in a matter of minutes once they started letting people in.This is largely an unhosted event. I'll post a few messages early on at the start of the night to help everyone in Beat the Blues find each other, and initially get the group out on the dance floor. After that, the adventure is wherever the music and your feet take you. :-)
When: July 18, 2025. 6pm-9pm
