Nature Walks

Join us for the new session of our discussion series **“A Night With…”**, where we dive into timeless myths and their universal messages. Following our last session, where we explored the duality of Apollinian & Dionysiac, this the time to delve into the journey of Orhpeus. **What to expect:** * I will open the meetup with a short introduction to Orpheus’ myth and share (or suggest) a few possible interpretations and connections. * After that, the floor is yours! Bring your thoughts, reflections, and any links you see between this myth and other domains, e.g. literature, art, philosophy, psychology, history or even your own creative work. * If you’re an artist and your work resonates with the divine twins' story, feel free to share it with the group. **Before the event:** Take 5 minutes to read the quick snippet of Orpheus’ myth (provided below👇🏽) and think of: * A book, artwork, or personal reflection that relates to her story. * Any modern parallels or insights you’d like to discuss. This is a space for **open dialogue, creativity, and shared exploration**. ### **🫧The story of Orpheus in Brief** **🎼Orpheus is the legendary poet–musician** of Greek myth, famous for playing the lyre so beautifully that animals, trees, and even stones were said to be **moved by his song.** He marries Eurydice, a nymph (or mortal woman in some versions), and their happiness is brief: Eurydice dies suddenly, most commonly after being bitten by a snake while fleeing danger or wandering in the fields. Stricken with grief, Orpheus refuses to accept her death. **He descends alive into the Underworld to bring her back.** There, his music softens the hearts of the rulers of the dead, Hades and Persephone. Moved by his devotion and the power of his art, they agree to release Eurydice, on one condition: Orpheus must lead her upward to the world of the living without looking back at her until they have both reached the surface. Orpheus begins the ascent, hearing her footsteps behind him but unable to see her. Near the exit, at the threshold between darkness and daylight, **doubt and longing overwhelm him**. He turns to look. In that instant Eurydice is lost again, fading back into the Underworld, unreachable. Orpheus tries to follow, but the passage is closed to the living; he is forced to return alone. After this second loss, Orpheus withdraws from love and society. In many versions, he is eventually killed violently (most famously torn apart by maenads). Even then, the myth insists that his song persists: his severed head and lyre continue to “sing” as they drift downstream, and the lyre is later placed among the stars as a constellation. 📃📜**Principal ancient sources:** * Plato, *Symposium* * Apollonius Rhodius, *Argonautica* * Virgil, *Georgics* * Ovid, *Metamorphoses* * Pausanias, *Description of Greece* * Hyginus, *Astronomica* * | | | --- | |

There’s something special about a Saturday morning that begins slowly — with movement, music, and a relaxed brunch. (Scroll for Hungarian) Our Yoga & Brunch event is exactly that: when movement and nourishing food come together to create a shared experience.🌿 Join us for a Saturday morning of: 🧘‍♀️ Flow yoga 🎶 Live handpan music 🥣 Vegan brunch ✨ A moment to recharge in a calm, inspiring space in the heart of the city. The program begins with a 75-minute Flow yoga class, guided by Ivett and accompanied by Richard’s live handpan music. In this gentle, continuous flow practice, the breath guides the movement, creating a natural rhythm where the practice can almost become a form of moving meditation. Ivett has been practicing yoga for more than ten years and comes from a modern-contemporary dance background. In her Flow classes, the connection between breath and movement is at the heart of the practice. As Ivett says: “For me, yoga is not just physical exercise – it’s a path back to myself.” The class is accompanied by Richárd’s handpan music, which responds to the rhythm of the practice and helps shape the atmosphere of the space. As he describes it: “My connection to music comes from presence — from an inner silence that slowly takes shape as sound.” Brunch after the practice After the class, from 11:15, a nourishing brunch awaits you, prepared by Smoothie Sanctuary. You can choose from specialty smoothies and smoothie bowls made from fresh, premium ingredients, offering a satisfying brunch experience. Participation fee 12,000 HUF / person The price includes: • a 75-minute yoga class with live handpan music • a full brunch menu of your choice (shot, juice and smoothie or smoothie bowl) Registration Spaces are limited, therefore advance booking is required. Please reserve your spot through the link: https://www.sanctuary.hu/service-page/yoga-brunch-with-live-handpan-music?referral=service_list_widget // Van valami különleges abban, amikor egy szombat reggel lassan indul: mozgással, zenével és egy nyugodt brunch-al. A Yoga & Brunch eseményünk pontosan erről szól: amikor a mozgás és a tápláló ételek találkoznak, és közös élménnyé állnak össze. 🌿 Mozdulj velünk szombat reggel: 🧘‍♀️ flow jóga 🎶 élő handpan zene 🥣 vegán brunch ✨ városi feltöltődés egy különleges, nyugodt térben. A program egy 75 perces Flow jógaórával indul, amelyet Ivett vezet, Richárd élő handpan játékával kísérve. A könnyed, folyamatos áramlású gyakorlásban a légzés adja a ritmust a mozdulatoknak, így a mozgás szinte meditációvá válik. Ivett több mint tíz éve gyakorolja a jógát, modern-kortárs táncos háttérrel érkezett a gyakorlás világába. Az áramló Flow gyakorlásban a légzés és a mozgás összekapcsolása áll a középpontban. Ahogy Ivett fogalmaz: „Számomra a jóga nem csupán testmozgás – hanem egy út vissza önmagamhoz.” Az órát Richárd handpan játéka kíséri, amely a gyakorlás ritmusára reagálva teremti meg az atmoszférát. „A zenével való kapcsolatom a jelenlétből születik: egy belső csendből, ami lassan külső hangokká formálódik.” Brunch a gyakorlás után A jógaóra után 11:15-től brunch vár, a Smoothie Sanctuary jóvoltából. Friss, prémium alapanyagokból készült specialty smoothiek és smoothie bowlok közül választhatsz egy tápláló brunch keretében. Részvételi hozzájárulás 12.000 Ft / fő Az ár tartalmazza: • a 75 perces, handpan kísérettel vezetett jógaórát • egy teljes, szabadon választott brunch menüt (shot, juice és smoothie vagy smoothie bowl) Jelentkezés A helyek száma korlátozott, ezért előzetes foglalás szükséges.

[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.

We’re finally getting started. Join us this Sunday, March 29 at 10am at Thompson Park for our first group walk together. Meet at the flagpole next to the Shelter House (near the Children's Playground), and we’ll head out at 10:05. We’ll do two laps of the big loop around the park. All paces and fitness levels welcome — the goal is simply to get outside and walk. See you there.

Hi ladies. We will meet in front of the Nature Center and head to the two Observation decks. We will then hike Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook and Sugarbush trails to get approximately four miles total distance. We will walk approximately a 18 minute mile pace.
