As I looked under CFI’s Mission, Vision, and Values, the phrase ‘**community**’ stood out in the opening line. Then, I found it repeated seven more times, all within a short description. Elsewhere, CFI informs us we run ‘open’ and ‘friendly’ discussions in ‘safe and hospitable’ environments for everyone. And 'Critical Thinking' is, you might say, the backbone for starting any discussion. But while we all know what thinking is, how is **critical thinking** different? Especially in matters that are not quantitatively measurable? As humans, thankfully, we are born curious – we probably won’t have learnt to crawl on four to experience our body and the world around us. We all are capable of being forever-curious – and therefore seeing through the evidence methodically. That is a good start for any talk no matter how complex it may seem. If it’s a human problem, we may not solve it, but surely can think through it critically. That’s a big, and hopeful, first step! Tantalizing? Let’s Talk!

**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.*

Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
