About us

Hi All, The last 8 months have stretched me a bit...time, energy, and finances included. As much as I love organizing this group, the monthly Meetup fee is one place I need to simplify.

Before anything else: thank you. Together we’ve logged over 600 miles of walks. We’ve met strangers who became friends, shared hard conversations, laughed, and made space to slow down. That’s not small! That’s an essence of community.

One of the people I met through this group (who later became a friend and even a roommate for a bit) has started a new Meetup called Nashchill. They’ve invited me to join as a co-organizer, which means we can continue building the same kind of steady, meaningful gatherings...but under one shared roof.

Because of that, I’ll be closing this group and inviting you all to join us there: Join Nashchill: https://meetup.com/nashchill-group?member_id=418782116

When reflecting on why I first started this group, I think about the motto from The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: “To see the world… to draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.” That’s always been the heart of this space. Not speed. Not performance. Just presence.

Thank you for walking it with me!
Keep it slow and steady, Devin
