May Weekend Spiritual Walk
**Spiritual Walk** from Irish National War Memorial Park along the river Liffey to Chapelizod, on Monday, 4th May at 2pm.
**Our Route**
We will start at the Memorial Gardens car park and set off through the gardens, then along the riverbank. The last third of the walk will be on footpaths into Chapelizod village, where we may get a coffee and a snack if you’re hungry. We’ll then return via a similar route and enjoy some of the features around the gardens as we find our way back to where we started from.
See the map in the Photos section for more details.
**How to get there**
If you are coming from the city centre, the easiest option would be the bus routes, C1, C2, C3, C4, G1, G2, 52, 60, and 69. Get off the bus on the South Circular Road, near the Liffey. We’ll be meeting in the Memorial Gardens car park, which is close to the South Circular Road entrances. If you’re driving, there are two entrances off the South Circular which you can take into the car park.
See the image of the map and meeting location in the Photos section.
**The walk**
The walk is easy and pretty straightforward along the banks of the Liffey. Suitable for all ages and all fitness levels. Dogs are very welcome.
While walking we will try to be present in the moment, be mindful of our thoughts, observe what is presented to us and what comes into our awareness.
We'd love to hear your stories and any insights you’d like to share.
**Food**
There are a few restaurants and cafes in Chapelizod where we will likely find something to quell your thirst and hunger. You’re also welcome to bring food with you for a picnic.
**Weather**
Here’s Met Eireann's weather forecast for the Bank Holiday Monday:
Generally cloudy with limited sunny spells. Staying mostly dry though apart from some patches of light rain or drizzle. Highest temperatures of 11 to 14 degrees, coolest in the north and warmest in the south, with a light to moderate northerly breeze.
All are welcome to this free event.
Gay Guys Café Goes Hiking ⛰️
Hi All, the hike is at 1pm tomorrow 04/05/26 (weather permitting ⛈️❌) in Ticknock Forest and doing the 3 rock trail ⛰️. All are welcome. I think the hike will be approx 2 or 3 hours. After the hike we might go get food in Dundrum 🍲. Some people are interested in watching the Devil Wears Prada 2 there in the cinema 🎥, this would depend what time we get off the hiking trail / showtimes etc.
Please wear appropriate clothing and bring a change of clothes, any lunch or snacks you might need
Conscious a lot of people don't have the use of a car so this is the closest area we can think of in the Dublin/Wicklow mountains that has public transport around. The nearest bus stop is Kingston bus stop in Ballinteer number 2975 & 5171 which is served by the 16, 74 & S8 busses https://maps.app.goo.gl/t2Pz4tfVYFZavkU7A. We will be meeting at 1pm in Ticknock Forest Carpark beside the Biking.ie rental shop / Trails Café https://maps.app.goo.gl/ULr3XruhDHhdPg887 if people drive they can go directly there if not we will see you here at 1pm. Please plan accordingly and for any drivers please offer lifts where possible. This is an open event so pass on to anyone 🙂 For further details on the hike see https://www.alltrails.com/trail/ireland/dun-laoghaire-rathdown/three-rock-wood-and-ticknock-loop?sh=6r7do5&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality[Bus](https://maps.app.goo.gl/t2Pz4tfVYFZavkU7A)[Ticknock Forest](https://maps.app.goo.gl/ULr3XruhDHhdPg887)[All Trails Hike Info](https://www.alltrails.com/trail/ireland/dun-laoghaire-rathdown/three-rock-wood-and-ticknock-loop?sh=6r7do5&utm_medium=trail_share&utm_source=alltrails_virality)

Mindful Photography Walk – A Gentle Pause in Nature
Join me for a small, mindful photography walk in nature. (**NOTE Time is 9:00 AM EST(Meetup is having technical Issue))**
This is a slow, intentional gathering — not focused on fitness or perfect photography — but on simply pausing, observing, and being present.
We’ll walk at a gentle pace, with moments of quiet, and a few light prompts to help you notice details you might normally miss.
📷 You don’t need any photography experience — a phone camera is enough.
This is also not a business networking event. It’s a calm space to connect with nature and, if it feels natural, with like-minded people.
🌿 What to expect:
• A slow-paced, relaxed walk
• Moments of silence and observation
• Simple reflection prompts
📍 Location: [ Red Trabue Nature Preserve]
⏱ Duration: \~60 minutes
This is a small, initial gathering as I begin creating this space through WellGratiVibes — a blend of mindfulness, nature, and quiet connection.
If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to join.
Civic Park Hike
Join us for 2 loops of the 1.1 mile trail surrounding Civic Park In Reynoldsburg this Thursday (5/7) at 6:30 pm. This is a fully paved trail so no worries about mud after a rainy week. Just come and get some exercise while connecting with others.
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 — 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 — 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. 🤠👋
**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).
