What we’re about
Welcome! If you believe the perfect weekend involves a warm cup of coffee, a stroll through a bustling local market, and finding a quiet corner in a bookstore or library, this group is for you. We are all about human connection through shared simple pleasures in the heart of Mountain View.
Our Goal
Our group aims to bring together people who love the local Mountain View vibe. Whether you are a long-time resident or new to the area, we want to create a space for meaningful conversation and relaxed weekend adventures that nourish the mind, body, and spirit.
What We’ll Do
Our meetups will be a mix of "choose-your-own-adventure" strolls and scheduled stops at local favorites:
Coffee Explorations: We’ll start our mornings at local gems like 1 Oz Coffee or Red Rock Coffee to fuel up for our walk.
Sunday Farmers Market Stroll: Every Sunday from 9 am to 1 pm, we'll visit the Mountain View Farmers Market at the Caltrain station to browse fresh California produce and seasonal treats together.
Downtown "Therapy" & Bookstore Tours: We’ll walk down Castro Street to explore unique shops like Therapy Stores for local gifts and clothing, or find a new read at Books Inc.. For a more soulful experience, we’ll visit East West Bookshop, a "spiritual heart" of Silicon Valley known for crystals, aromatherapy, and conscious living.
Library & Mindful Moments: We will spend time at the Mountain View Public Library, where we can check out the local history center or find a cozy spot to chat about our favorite books.
Wellness & Healing: Occasionally, we may check out curated items at The Wellness Shop for rest and healing products like journals and relaxing teas.
Whether you're looking to share a laugh over a latte, discover a new favorite farmers market vendor, or simply enjoy a mindful walk through downtown, we’d love to have you join us.
Let’s brew up some great conversations together!
