Our mission is to inspire good in every neighborhood by facilitating and nurturing micro connections around shared concerns.
Want to plan a walk with us?
We invite people who are willing to foster connections in their neighborhood to facilitate walks with neighbors. We provide a simple outline and framework for them to use to plan a gathering.
Reach out to us here!
Organizers
Inviters, facilitators, and connectors who welcome and guide conversations and strolls. They identify guides and walkers (just a few at a time — we want groups to feel intimate) and help with coordination and establishing the purpose and vision for the time.
Guides
Storytellers, consultants, bridge builders, and translators who share their lived experience and personal knowledge of the neighborhood. Guides provide the history and context of a community, and help foster deeper understanding and mutual care.
Walkers
Moms, doctors, artists, caretakers. Councilmembers, historians, students, teachers. All are welcome to come with an open mind, ready to listen and learn with humility and respect.
“I believe that the community…is the smallest unit of health…to speak of the health of an isolated individual is a contradiction in terms.”
— Wendell Berry
