Why? The answer is simple. Meditation is best combined with outdoor activities. What could be more fun and more spiritual than doing meditation before or after a day of exciting activities such as Yoga, T …

There are a whole bunch of meetups in the Baltimore and DC areas. However, there doesn't seem to be anything out there for fun-loving folks in the Ellicott City & Columbia, MD area.  It would be fun to meet some new friends and get to know the area through a new meetup as there seems to be plenty of things to do around here without having to go to the major cities. The goal of this group is to get some fun people together to go out on the weekends (in Ellicott City or Columbia or possibly Baltim …

Our Group: This group centers around the lifestyle of running and hiking/walking with our dogs and enjoying a high-end sudsy beverage — and increasing awareness of how dogs are true partners to humans. Extra Fun: Among our everyday events you'll find the random dog-friendly event that doesn't have anything to do with a run or a hike, but likely a beer or some wine. Keep an eye on the group as we develop something new and exciting in the running community! Supporting Service Dogs: Our official ch …

I'm setting this up initially for those of us who are experienced hikers and looking to do longer hikes with other like-minded LGBT folks. There are some great regular hiking groups, but none for gays and lesbians to do 10+ mile hikes and backpacking trips in a social setting. I'd love other people to lead hikes. Here are some great resources to find local hikes. http://midatlantichikes.com/ http://www.hikingupward.com www.Localhikes.com Check other meetup.com groups. If you're new to hiking, I …

Go backpacking with like-minded individuals, find great places, and shoot them (the places, that is.) I hunt the remarkable unseen landscape, the rarely or never-before-photographed, and I love a challenge. I love backpacking in the wilderness, the mountains, or in the desert with two purposes: to enjoy my time in nature and, to bring back her magical moments in a box for others to enjoy. If you prefer to hike solo but want to hike with a compatible hiking companion, this group may be for you. T …

A group for adventurous dogs and their people. The plan is to set up meetups for some of our favorite things to do with our dogs: off-leash hiking, walking, group playdates, training field trips, on-leash socialization walks etc. We'll try out new things when we find them...we're open to all suggestions! We don't discriminate based on breed or type, but we do ask that dogs are non-dog-aggressive to attend certain events, such as group playdates or off-leash hikes.

This is a way for members of Falkland Chase to share resources and talk about upcoming hiking events. Meetup is a great way to build a schedule as well. We'll decide if this is a good fit going forward. One are I'd like to explore would be getting together with some humans and canines that would be down for some more intense hikes and potentially backpacking. Also, I am putting everyone that joins from Falkland Chase as an organizer, so you can do everything except ask for money for events. Post …

This meetup is for various activities that we can do on week evenings and weekends. Things like walking, hiking, festivals, billiards, bowling, tennis, cooking...etc. If you prefer quieter, more laid back environments or the outdoors to loud bars/clubs/happy hours, this meetup is for you. Also for the work-evening meetups, I'd like to set up hours that are a little past regular happy hour/rush time, e.g. instead of 5-6, prefer 7-8-9, both to avoid traffic and to allow those of us who work later …
