## Beginner Wife Club is planting its roots in Riga ​A room for women who want to build an epic love affair. **To see the exact location and secure your spot, please register through Luma: https://luma.com/efc6ps0l** ​For a single, dating, engaged, newly married and wise wife. Whether you're preparing for or strengthening a relationship with maturity and reverence. ​This evening is about **owning your joy** through self-care. ​Not the “bubble bath and face mask” kind. ​But the harder work of tending your own heart, taking responsibility for your thoughts, your spirit, your expectations and the atmosphere you carry at home. ​We will be joined by **Eva Mence**, a wise wife of 10 years, a mum of a 7-year-old, her testimony has moved women nationwide over Latvia's radio stations. Through seasons of unhealthy attachment, misplaced identity and expecting her husband to carry what was hers to take care of, Eva learned the freedom of self-responsibility. And ultimately, the pure joy that follows. ​Together, we will explore: * ​What does making a decision to be joyful mean * ​How to love deeply without losing yourself * ​How to honour your partner without making him your source * ​How taking ownership of your own heart can become the beginning of a more joyful life. ​The conversation will be followed by a self-reflection workshop. ​This evening is also your doorway into the private Beginner Wife WhatsApp community - where the conversation continues and the real connection, encouragement and accountability are built beyond the room. ​Come ready. Not just to listen, but to become 🤍 ​**Evening schedule** **18:45-19:15** \- Arrival\, food\, and connection **19:15-20:00** \- Panel conversation **20:00-20:30** - Workshop and guided reflection **20:30-21:00** \- Closing and social time ​Photos will be taken during the event. ​@**[beginnerwife.club](https://beginnerwife.club/?utm_source=luma)**

[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).
