We are a laid back, fun bunch of people who like to enjoy the Mountain. Snowboarders, Skiers, Telemarkers, Cross Country Skiers, or Mono-boarders are all welcome to join in on the FUN! I was a snowboard/ski instructor last year and in past years, and wanted to find a way to get people up on the mountain. I will gladly give my time and free lessons to first timers or beginners who might need some help or equipment advice. We usually meet at Gateway Transit Center to Carpool and split gas money. T …

We're an easy going group of co-ed cyclists, beginning to intermediate level, riding in the Willamette Valley, South Portland and surrounding rural areas.  We average 12-15 MPH during our rides. No one gets left behind! Rides are 20+ miles in distance, and We are open to doing other activities including short hikes and kayaking. If you have an idea for ride tour or activity, we want to hear it (especially if it involves a bottle of wine and good food at the end!) Wine, but no whining!

Luckily, there are myriad options for adventure: hiking, backpacking, snowshoeing, car camping, wildlife-treks, wildflower hikes, et al. If you have an idea for a meetup, please feel free to suggest it. There are tons of amazing places we can go for day trip hikes, as well backpacking/car camping trips. In Oregon alone, we have the high desert regions (the Steens, Hart Mountain, the …

This is a group for both experienced and inexperienced hikers, all of whom have the tacit fundamental desire to get outdoors for a day (or two). We have no group theory or group philosophy, yet. Personally speaking, I seek people willing to share in this group's organization, with a committed spirit of both activism and ethical eco-tourism. This means that we seek and communicate information about our activities that include regulations as well as education. The purpose of this group should be e …

We'll also partner with other ski clubs or Meetup grou …

This class will focus on experiencing the essence of wuji, which is also known as the “Primordial Qigong State”. Wuji or primordial Qigong uses the integration of gentle movement which is accomplished through relaxation of the mind and neurological system, intentful breath, focused awareness, and mindfulness to cultivate physical and mental stillness creating a state of profound peace and inner awareness. This was poetically expressed in the words of an ancient Qigong practitioner, “Still as a m …

Then stretch your legs, put on your running shoes and steady your aim! Because now there's laser tag...outdoors! Outdoor laser tag is a slightly different type of game than indoor. Scratch the day-glo paint and the dry ice, insert mountain sides, boulders, streams and blue skies. It's essentially the …
