**Kings in Motion — Scarborough** ***Slow down to move forward.*** Join Rooted Kingship for a brotherhood walk at **Scarborough Bluffs / Bluffer’s Park**. At Rooted Kingship, we believe no man should have to do life alone. These walks are created for men to move stress out of the body, breathe deeper, connect with other brothers, and be seen without pressure to perform. Come as you are. Walk at your pace. Speak if you feel led. Listen if that’s what you need. **Why We Walk** This is more than a hike. It’s a space for brotherhood, reflection, mental wellness, and growth. We walk to clear our minds, strengthen our bodies, and remind ourselves that healing does not always happen sitting still. Sometimes a man has to walk it out before he can talk it out. **What to Expect** **1:30–2:00 PM — Arrival + Check-In** Please arrive early so we can greet everyone, get settled, and gather as a group. **2:00–2:10 PM — Welcome + Orientation** We’ll open with a short welcome, light stretching, and a simple check-in. **2:10–2:15 PM — Safety Brief + Ground Rules** We’ll review the walking route, pace options, group expectations, and safety reminders. **2:15–3:30 PM — Brotherhood Walk** We’ll walk together at a steady, conversational pace. There will be space for casual conversation, quiet reflection, and optional partner check-ins. **3:30–3:45 PM — Closing Circle** We’ll end with a short gratitude round and a take-home reflection prompt. **Rooted Kingship Agreements** *Brotherhood:* We look out for one another. *Authenticity:* Come as you are. No pressure to perform. *Growth*: We move our bodies and our stories forward. *Respect:* Every voice matters. No judgment, shaming, or talking down. *Positivity:* Bring your truth, but bring hope with it too. **Ground Rules** *Confidentiality:* What is shared on the walk stays with the group. *Support over advice:* Ask before giving advice. *Participation is optional:* You can speak, listen, or simply walk. All are welcome. *Respect the pace:* No brother gets left behind. **What to Bring** Please bring: * Water * Light snack * Weather-ready clothing * Comfortable walking shoes * Small backpack if needed * Phone fully charged * Any personal medication you may need, such as an inhaler, glucose tabs/juice, or EpiPen **Accessibility & Pace** This will be a relaxed community walk, not a race. Some areas may include pavement, packed dirt, uneven ground, small inclines, or roots. We will move at a group-friendly pace and take short breath breaks when needed. If you are new to walking, returning to movement, or recovering from an injury, you are still welcome. **Safety & Consent** This is a peer-led community walk. By registering, you acknowledge that outdoor walks may include natural risks such as slips, weather changes, uneven ground, or wildlife. You are responsible for your own health, pace, and decisions. If you feel unwell at any point, please let one of the group leads know. **Photos** We may take group photos, but only with consent. Before any photo is shared, we will ask for a clear thumbs-up or thumbs-down. No pressure. Your presence matters more than being posted. **Weather Plan** Light rain means we still walk. If there are thunderstorms, unsafe trail conditions, or severe weather, an update will be posted and sent to RSVPs before the event. *** **Age & pets:** 18+; pets are allowed. **Questions day‑of:** Text/Call Organizer at [Join WhatsApp Group ](https://chat.whatsapp.com/IEqqsux2wd8EpOHkan2Cmx?mode=gi_t) Men Only [IG Page](https://www.instagram.com/rootedkingship?igsh=Zm44c2loNjlrOGw%3D&utm_source=qr) \- Follow **Tick check reminder (spring):** *Wear long sleeves/pants if you can, consider DEET or Icaridin repellent (follow the label), and do a tick check after the hike.*

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

Dodgeball is back again! If you’ve been wanting to come out, this is an easy one to join. We’ll be playing for about 1.5 to 2 hours, you do not need to bring any equipment, and no experience is needed. We use a specific set of rules and equipment to make the games run better and keep them fun for everybody, not just people who already know how to play. If it rains, the event will be canceled.
