You’ll learn how to start, glide, turn, and stop safely, along with simple drills to improve coordination and stability on your skates. The class progresses at a comfortable pace, with clear demonstrations and individual feedback to help each participant feel steady and confident. Whether you’re brand new to rollerblading or returning after a break, this session will help you develop strong basics and feel more in control on wheels.

Join Outdoor Heroes on **the** **Nature Walk** in Parc de la Serralada Litoral near Barcelona! 🌲 **Fee:** *none* (except maybe your own bus ticket and the snacks you bring 😊) A Nature Walk is a **slow paced** hike and guided exploration where participants are invited to **look** at their surroundings **with** **attention and wonder**. We connect with each other and with nature 🌳 Listening to the rustling of leaves, feeling the texture of tree bark and learning about the subtle dances flora and fauna make in the forest 🦉 Slowing down creates **space for new observations**, for curiosity, for **connection with your surroundings**, as well as with yourself. We hope participants leave the trail with a **renewed perception of nature**, while also learning from each other and about each other. After the hike participants can choose to enjoy a lunch together in Alella and chat on 🥘 or return to their jobs, homes or more adventures. Hope to see you there! 🙏🏻 Physical level: 🥾🥾 (out of 5) The hike is slow, with plenty of resting moments. The hills are steep here and there. If you have any walking experience you should be perfectly fine! Details about meeting point, what to wear and what to bring follow on sign up!

**What if eating could be a meditation?** Most of us eat on autopilot: scrolling, rushing, barely tasting. Mindful Eating is the practice of slowing down and bringing full, gentle attention to the experience of nourishment. The colours on the plate. The first smell. The texture. The warmth. The taste that arrives before you even expect it. It sounds simple. And it is. But like all mindfulness practices, simple doesn't mean easy, and the rewards are quietly profound. **🌿 What is Mindful Eating?** Mindful Eating is a form of mindfulness meditation practice that invites us to: * Slow down and engage all the senses during a meal * Notice hunger, fullness, and the body's signals with curiosity rather than judgment * Bring presence and gratitude to the act of eating * Let food become an anchor for awareness just as birdsong does on our walks This experience is also part of my requirements for my Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification which asks me to teach a wide range of mindfulness practices. What started with a Birdsong Walk has now grown into something more expansive. This is the next step. 🌿 **🍽️ Where we're gathering** We'll be sharing this experience at a restaurant that is close to my heart: Kasarap Filipino Kitchen (@kasarapbcn). I moved to Barcelona from the Philippines about 10 years ago, and every time I walk through the doors of Kasarap, something in me exhales. It feels like home. I imagine you know that feeling, the one you get when you find a little piece of your own country somewhere far from it. I would love to share Filipino food with you. If you haven't tried it yet, I truly cannot wait for this to be your first time. Filipino food is communal by nature — dishes are placed in the middle of the table and shared — which makes it a beautiful, fitting setting for a mindfulness practice rooted in connection. They also have vegetarian options 🌱 You can explore their menu here: [kasarap.com](kasarap.com) ### ✨ About your co-host This session will be co-guided by Juanita. Originally from Colombia and now based in Barcelona, Juanita is a designer, artist, and writer whose work lives at the intersection of attention, curiosity, and being human. Her practice moves through drawing, journaling, and quiet observation — a way of staying in conversation with life, especially the subtle layers we often overlook. She explores inner landscapes through play, emotion, and lived experience, listening closely to what wants to emerge. Juanita brings a deeply intuitive and creative presence to this experience. A reminder that meaning and magic aren’t something we chase — they reveal themselves when we slow down enough to notice. **📌 Important — please read before RSVPing** * **This experience is limited to 5 people only** * You will need to order something from the restaurant during the session — we will all share the bill communally * **A 10€ reservation fee is required to confirm your spot, which goes towards your food consumption on the day** * Your spot is confirmed once the 10€ has been received 💳 Reserve your spot via Bizum: +34 722 692 960 (Please include your name in the payment reference) ⚠️ Cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or no-shows are non-refundable. Food has always been a way of coming home — to culture, to memory, to the people around us. For two hours on a Sunday afternoon, let's also let it bring us home to ourselves. 🌿

[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).

Join us for a two mile trail hike alongside the Brookside Trail at Blendon Woods Metro Park. This trail is largely gravel and does include some hills and stairs. Hopefully we will see some wildlife while hike this scenic trail! Join us!

We'll meet at Wyandot Park, cross Riverside Dr at Lane Rd, then walk south along the water to Griggs Park and back — 4.8 miles total. A scenic out-and-back route along the Scioto River. One of the nicer stretches of trail in Columbus. Parking is available at Wyandot Park, off Lane Rd. Here's an overview of the route on Google Maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/uqweEoi6vcpY4esTA All paces welcome. See you there.

Over time I'm hoping to organize a hike to all the Franklin County Metro Parks. This is the first one so if you're interested jump in! We'll start with the Canopy Walk, a cool feature of this park. Climb 100 stairs to the top - or take the elevator if stairs aren't your thing. At the top there are a bunch of things to play on - a rope bridge, a fireman pole that we can slide down - and more! About fifteen minutes there and we'll head to the natural trail, Buttonbush, Maple and Beech Trail for 2.2 miles then do a 1.7 mile loop on the paved Greenway Trail. We'll be passing our cars as we transition if you only want to do the first loop, or the second loop. Pace of around 3.5 mph but no one left behind. If there is an interest we can grab lunch nearby afterward.

Meet at Wolfe Park parking lot by tennis courts. We willl walk along Alum Creek trail, through Jeffrey Mansion Park then along Bexley neighborhood and back. Optional lunch at Trolley District.

Let’s walk the gardens and enjoy what has spring has on display.
