Walk and Connect

🚫 No Observers: This session is for peer participation only and is not open to students, researchers, or others attending primarily to observe or study the group. 🚶‍♀️ Lace up your shoes and join us for movement, lighthearted conversation, and connection! Walk and Connect is a relaxed gathering designed to help us get moving, enjoy the outdoors (or a treadmill/indoor walk), and spend time in good company. Whether you’re walking around your neighborhood, hitting a local trail, pacing on a treadmill, or strolling on a walking pad at home, there’s a place for you here. All paces and fitness levels are welcome! We’ll begin with brief introductions, then spend most of our time walking while chatting. Conversations are casual and participant-led, with an emphasis on keeping the atmosphere positive, welcoming, and lighthearted. While friendships and meaningful conversations naturally develop, this is primarily a walking social space rather than a general peer-support or body-doubling session. We aim to leave outside conflicts at the door and keep the focus on movement and connection. There are no distance goals, pace targets, or expectations to hit a certain number of steps. Just bring yourself and your comfortable shoes, get moving, and enjoy a little time for yourself. 🎧 Safety note: Please walk somewhere safe, stay aware of your surroundings, and keep your volume low if you’re outdoors. ✨ Come for the walk. Stay for the connection.
