Activate Mental Health

We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30/7 pm.

We will wait around for up 10 mins if you've let us know that you're running late but we do start the walk no later than 5:40pm

Come as frequently or as infrequently as you like, both nights or either one.
A very relaxed, Inclusive, social and supportive group, always sticking together, not leaving anyone behind
There is also an optional beginner's running group on Thursdays, in addition to walking, with a host for each group.
No set pace or distance,
whatever you're comfortable with.

If you are hesitant because you think you might not be "fit enough" or might not be able to "keep up", there is no "fit enough" or any need to "keep up", you are who the group is aimed at supporting.
With the added safety of walking running with a group later in the day.

=== This event costs $22 entry plus $3 shoe hire. You can use Mary's chalk. Doyle has one free entry a month-ask us to find out if it is still available. ===

Bouldering is indoor rock climbing without ropes or harnesses. You climb walls up to about 5m in height, then climb or jump, back down. It is a fun, physical activity that requires a bit of thinking to work out how you'll tackle each climb as you get to more complicated routes.

I've set up this event as this is my regular climbing day (9:30am Saturdays) and I've left it open for anyone who wants to join me or try it out.

My best so far is level V4/14 (blue), so I'm an intermediate climber; Mary has gotten to ~V3 (yellow). We're still building strength, and learning technique.

No prior experience is necessary. As a beginner, a safety walk-through and online waiver will be provided on first entry (the waiver can be completed at home). If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Message me on this app if you would like me to meet you at the entrance; Otherwise, Saturday mornings are quiet, and you should be able to find me if you ask the staff.

We’re absolutely thrilled to invite you to a series of events that we are hosting with the aim of sparking engaging and meaningful conversations.

You don’t need any prior experience with TED or TEDx events to join us. In fact, we encourage you to bring along your friends, neighbors, and even those interesting strangers you met at the coffee shop last week!

This is more than just an event, it’s an opportunity to learn, grow, and meet like-minded individuals. We’re especially excited to welcome new faces and hear fresh perspectives.

Our theme for Oct 2024 is TBD

Please note, we have limited spots available, with only 25 RSVPs for each meetup. We’re grateful to the Victoria Park Community Centre for providing us with a space where ideas can flourish.

We’ll kick things off just after 2 pm and wrap up by 4 pm. But don’t rush off! The last half-hour is set aside for some casual networking and chit-chat. From our past events, we’ve found that this is the time when some of the best conversations happen!

This event is brought to you by Activate Mental Health, a community that believes in the power of conversation and belonging.

We can’t wait to see you there!

We meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 to 6:30/7 pm.

We will wait around for up 10 mins if you've let us know that you're running late but we do start the walk no later than 5:40pm
