What we’re about
Madison compassionate 20s-40s (millennialish; age was expanded) folks enjoy mostly free social, cultural, and musical/UW events near the isthmus; pickleball; yoga; hiking; biking; kayaking; karaoking; Concerts on the Square; Symphony Orchestra open rehearsals; farmers markets; coffee/tea etc....
We're a welcoming community that values compassion, loving-kindness, and respect for fellow human and nonhuman animals.
Want to connect with animals rescued from farms at sanctuary tours; frolic in the meadows, forests, and streams and watch wild creatures; enjoy friendly competition at game nights; soak up the stars in observatory telescopes and stunning art at museums, movies, and plays; smells and tastes of colorful/edible wild flowers, spices, herbs, vegetables, and fruits from the Market and co-ops; and sounds and slick rhythms of concert halls, sick dancing, open mics, poetry, karaoke, and more?
Yes?! Request to join us. We also organize events with groups that share our policies: Madison Hiking Enthusiasts and Southern Wisconsin Single Animal Lovers (name/link update coming soon).
