Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[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 โ 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 โ 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. ๐ค ๐
**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).

Black People Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Saturday Mornings @ East Market
Let's grab some coffee/food and share a morning chat! The East Market has an ample parking lot and outdoor and indoor seating.
Grab a cup of coffee from Winston's Coffee & Waffles or on your way to East Market and meet us on the second floor - table behind or east of the elevator.
Per what this group is about:
"Everyone is welcome! International transplants to Columbus who want to improve language skills, Columbus residents who enjoy talking to people from other countries, and those who would like to discuss international travel and culture, and who enjoy getting together for good conversations."
Brunch-Worthington Tavern
Letโs try out brunch at a popular restaurant in downtown Worthington. Public parking lots are available , as well as street parking.
Menu: https://www.worthingtontavern.com/brunch
This is a small venue so the reservation is only for 10 people. Please only rsvp if you are going to make the event.
Short North Street Skate | Weekly Rollout
Short North Street Skates return Saturday, April 4 and weโre excited to get back rolling together.
These weekly rollouts are a chance to move through the city as a group, build community, and create more visibility for skating and small-wheeled movement in Columbus.
Details:
Meet: 1160 N High St
9:30 AM meet
10:00 AM rollout
All wheels welcome
Weโll be skating through the Short North and surrounding areas at a steady, social pace. Routes will use a mix of streets and bike lanes, so comfort navigating the city is helpful, but you donโt need to be an expert.
If youโve been meaning to come out, this is a great place to start.
Come solo or bring a friend!
Community Game Night at Two Dollar Radio HQ
Hey everyone! I am so excited to invite you to our next community gathering at **Two Dollar Radio Headquarters**. If you haven't heard yet, their new **Summer Menu** has officially dropped, and it is absolute "debauchery in food form".
Weโre heading to Parsons Ave to celebrate independent culture, play some games, and dive into some of the most creative plant-based comfort food in Columbus. Whether you're looking for a night of meaningful connection or just great vegan eats, this is the place to be.
**When:** Saturday\, June 13th \| 2:00 PM โ 5:00 PM

* **Support:** Help us champion a local, family-owned vegan business that doubles as a powerhouse indie book publisher. [[1](https://www.facebook.com/columbusveganevents/photos/join-columbus-vegan-meetup-for-a-game-night-at-two-dollar-radio-hqwhen-saturday-/824512820641009/)]
***
**Whatโs on the Summer Menu?**
While 2$R typically serves house-made sandwiches and vegan pastries, they are creating a special menu specifically for our event!. You can also grab a coffee, tea, or a drink from their full bar of cocktails and beer. [[1](https://www.facebook.com/columbusveganevents/photos/join-columbus-vegan-meetup-for-a-game-night-at-two-dollar-radio-hqwhen-saturday-/824512820641009/)]

* **Birria โBeefโ Tacos**: A absolute must-try! Featuring birria soy โbeef,โ housemade chimichurri slaw, cashew crema, pickled onion, and roasted corn relish on corn tortillas.
* **Buffalo Eggplant Pita**: Breaded eggplant tossed in smoky dojo hot sauce, topped with avocado, tomato, pickled onion, and cashew crema.
* **Falafel Pitas & Bowls**: Housemade falafel served with chimichurri slaw, cashew crema, smashed cucumbers, and fresh greens. [[1](https://www.instagram.com/p/DZNfx9yjg9F/), [2](https://twodollarradiohq.com/weekly-food)]
***
**Parking & Logistics**
* **Street Parking:** Free public street parking is available on both sides of Parsons Avenue and surrounding residential streets.
* **Lot Parking:** The Columbus Metropolitan Library lot (1113 Parsons Ave) is directly across the street. On Saturdays, it is typically available for guest use starting at 6:00 PM (after the library closes).
* **Bike Parking:** For those cycling, there is a bike rack conveniently located at the corner of Cline and Parsons. [[1](https://www.facebook.com/columbusveganevents/photos/join-columbus-vegan-meetup-for-a-game-night-at-two-dollar-radio-hqwhen-saturday-/824512820641009/)]
Iโve been vegan for five years now, and places like this make the journey so vibrant and easy. I canโt wait to catch up, play some games, and share an incredible meal with all of you.
See you there! ๐ฏ๐
