Columbus Morning Chorus and Coffee Social

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 PM

We are getting together for a morning of birding and conversation at one of our favorite local spots. Whether you are an experienced birder with a long life list or someone who just enjoys spotting a cardinal in the backyard, you are more than welcome to join us. We will spend the first hour walking the trails to see what species are active, keeping a casual pace so we can actually enjoy the sights and sounds around us. After the walk, we will head over to a nearby coffee shop to warm up and chat about what we saw. This is really just an excuse to get outside, enjoy the fresh air, and connect with other people in the Columbus area who share an interest in nature. Please RSVP if you think you can make it so we have a rough idea of how many people to expect at the trailhead.

Sun, Oct 18, 5:00 PM

From Columbus Code & Coffee

From The Philosophical Minds Coffee And Conversation

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

Columbus Espresso And Existentialism Morning Sessions

Sun, Oct 18, 10:00 PM

Join us for the next Columbus Espresso and Existentialism morning session. We are a group of locals who enjoy getting together to bypass the usual small talk in favor of something a bit more substantial. We pick a different philosophical theme or question to anchor our conversation, grab a round of coffee, and see where the morning takes us. It is a low-pressure environment meant for thinking out loud and hearing perspectives that might differ from our own. Whether you are well-read on the subject or just someone who enjoys pondering the big questions, you are welcome here. We tend to attract a mix of people who appreciate good coffee, honest dialogue, and the company of others who are curious about the human condition. If you have been looking for an excuse to get out of the house on a weekend morning and engage your brain, we would love to have you join the circle. Please take a moment to RSVP if you think you can make it so we can keep an eye on the group size.

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions

Sat, Oct 17, 6:00 PM

From The Board Walks – Columbus

From Columbus English Chat with Native Speakers

[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).
