Port Melbourne Walks – Fresh Air, Friendly Faces
Looking to get outside, clear your head, and connect with good people? Join us for a relaxed walk around the beautiful streets and coastline of Port Melbourne.
This is a casual meetup—no fitness goals, no pressure. Just a friendly stroll, good conversation, and a reason to step away from screens and into the fresh air. Whether you’re new in town, working from home, or just want a social reason to walk, you’re very welcome.
Come as you are. Comfy shoes, water bottle, and curiosity are all you need.
**Optional:** After the walk, some of us might grab a coffee nearby — feel free to join if you’re up for it!
Morning Nature Walk – Botanical Gardens Reset
Start your day with calm, clarity, and connection.
This is a **gentle walk** through Melbourne’s Royal Botanic Gardens — ideal if you’ve been feeling stressed, disconnected, or just need a fresh start. We’ll move at a slow, mindful pace, take in nature, chat if we feel like it, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Route: https://walkingmaps.com.au/walk/3847

The Final Monthly Reset: Walk, Reflect, Connect
Instagram: @findyourtribemelb
Take a pause from the hustle and join us for **The Monthly Reset** \- a space for driven and ambitious people to reflect on the past month\, set fresh goals\, and connect with other growth\-minded individuals\.
This month will be a special edition, focusing on reflecting on 2025!
There’s something powerful about sharing your reflections and intentions with other growth-minded individuals. When you're surrounded by people who value progress, purpose, and self-awareness, it creates a natural sounding board for ideas, clarity, and encouragement. These kinds of conversations can help you see things differently, feel more supported, and stay aligned with the goals that truly matter to you.
🌿**MEETING POINT**
Let's meet outside Botanic Gardens Visitor Centre at 10.00am. Anyone who would like to grab a coffee can do so, then at 10.15am, we'll take a walk around the Tan.
🤝**CONNECTION ACTIVITY**
During the walk, you’ll be invited to participate in structured conversations with different partners as we rotate every 15ish minutes.
We’ll provide reflection prompts to guide your discussions on:
* What worked well this year
* What challenged you or stretched your limits
* What you'll be taking with you in 2026
* What success and balance look like for you
This is a space to connect authentically, think intentionally, and feel supported by others who care about growth and alignment - both professionally and personally.
👋**NEW HERE?**
Welcome! Find Your Tribe Melbourne is a community mostly around 25-40s who are passionate about connection, purpose, and personal development. We’re open-minded, respectful, and always excited to welcome new faces. Whether you come solo or with a friend, we’ll make sure you feel included and supported.
Pushing outside your comfort zone can be tough—but it's where growth and friendship begin. 🌱
If you have any questions or just want to say hi before the event, feel free to message me!

Merri creek, Dights Falls and Studley Park boathouse stroll and indulgence 10km
🌿 **The Social Stroll Plan**
Date & Time: 27 December, 1pm
Start/Finish: Rushall Station car park (station entrance)
Distance/Duration: ~10km, ~3 hours (leisurely pace with stops)
🚶 **Segment 1: Rushall Station → Merri Creek Circuit**
- Kick off with a flirty, social vibe—think light banter and playful “post‑Christmas detox” jokes.
- The Merri Creek bushland offers shaded paths, bird calls, and a gentle warm‑up for the legs.
- Incorporate a “Grievance Alignment Chart” moment: everyone shares one funny holiday grievance (too much pudding, awkward family karaoke) as a satirical ritual.
🌊 **Segment 2: Merri Creek → Dights Falls (Yarra Bend Park)**
- Arrive at Dights Falls, where the Yarra cascades over the historic weir.
- Pause for a mini‑ritual: “Dance of the Falls”—a playful group stretch or sway, channeling the Eat Drink Danc ethos. Yoga instructors wanted otherwise we'll learn Gangnam style dancing from a Kpop YouTube video. This certainly assists in my attempt to start a Korean boy band!
- Snap group photos with the falls as backdrop—badge‑worthy material for your satirical campaign kits.
☕ **Segment 3: Dights Falls → Studley Park & Studley Park Boathouse**
- Meander through Studley Park picnic areas, weaving in bushland and river views.
- Arrive at the Studley Park Boathouse for coffee, snacks, and a cheeky toast to “post‑Xmas drop tour hair and relax vibes.”
- Suggested ritual: “Compliance Log of Indulgence”—each person logs their chosen snack as part of the satirical kit.
🌳 **Segment 4: Return via Yarra Bend → Rushall Station**
- Stroll back along the Yarra Bend bushland, soaking in late‑afternoon light.
- Close with a “Re‑Education Pamphlet” reflection: what indulgence will you drop before the Kokoda prep walk?
- Finish at Rushall Station car park, energized but relaxed.
🎭 **Thematic Layering**
- Eat Drink Danc Melbourne spirit: playful rituals, spontaneous stretches, satirical mottos.
- Post‑Christmas vibes: light detox humor, relaxed pace, indulgence logs.
- Preparation for Kokoda 1000 Steps (Jan 4):
- Treat this as a training stroll—steady pace, mindful breathing, light climbs and dumb jokes and an attempt to create a bachelorette style recruitment drive for groupies for the Korean boy band I'm planning without the swimsuit competition.
- Encourage group camaraderie: “If we can laugh through 10km, we can climb 1000 steps.”
🪧 **Suggested Motifs & Slogans**
- “Falls, Feasts & Footsteps” – motto for the day.
- Badges:
- Commissar of Coffee (for the first to order at the boathouse)
- Dance Marshal of Dights (for leading the falls stretch)
- Studley Snack Auditor (for logging indulgences)
---
This stroll becomes more than a walk—it’s a social satire circuit, a playful ritual of bushland, falls, coffee, and camaraderie, all while gently prepping for the Kokoda 1000 steps climb and walk next week

Walk & Talk About Life's Big Questions
[The Board Walks](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!).
**What to expect:**
We walk as a group and dive into topics that go beyond small talk.
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?"
This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together. *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.
**Come prepared:**
We ask that you bring a thoughtful topic with you.
At the start of the walk, everyone shares their topic with the group, and these become the launching points for conversations throughout our 5 miles together.
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. Be a good egg and bring a topic that'd make people go "Oooh, interesting."
**Important notes:**
* Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk!
* We welcome people of all ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space.
* This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). We want everyone to have a great experience, and 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.
**FAQs:**
* We have multiple first-timers on each walk! We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free 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 very welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic!
**Logistics:**
* **Arrive on time.** If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we kindly suggest that you skip the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and one of our goals is to create a "phone-free" space — which means everyone (including the host!) will be fully present. We can't answer messages during the event.
* **Read our [Ground Rules](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules)**. Our host gives an overview of what to expect at the beginning of the walk.
* **Share the magic**. If you enjoy the event, send **[this](www.theboardwalks.com)** to a friend. We're currently in 7 cities with more on the way (Austin, SF, NYC, Denver, Columbus, Boone, London). 🤠👋
**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.
* We're currently building our waitlist. Apply [here.](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board)
