I am taking over this group because by reviewing all the great members already part of this group I didn't want it to be deleted! However, I strongly believe dancing and socializing brings people together and I have created a dance studio where I will be offering a free class every two weeks where anyone who is interested and wants to come and join for the selected class will be more than welcome to come alone or perhaps bring a friend and enjoy a great dance class and forget about everything el …

The purpose of this group is to discover, explore and understand the natural resources existing in an urban environment. During the weekend I teach classes in what I call "Urban Outdoor Skills" and once a month, I take people on a donation-based hike/meeting to explore the city wilderness where we learn about wild edible food, the various uses of plants (medicinal, aromatic, etc...) and how to use nature to become more self-reliant. The hike/Meeting is very informal - we have a mix of experts an …

This group is intended to be an expansion of a hiking/outdoors ministry that originally started at NewSong Church in Irvine, CA in 2001.

However, this group has expanded beyond this church and we have members and participants from different places. The purpose of the group is to gather people who love God and who love the beautiful outdoors for hiking and other outdoors act …

Welcome! This group is for hikers of all levels who want to explore the beauty and incredible trails of the San Gabriel Mountains, and the rest of Southern California. As our name suggests, many of our hikes will begin early in the morning, although we have regular evening hikes as well. The early starts allow us to hit the trails (and the parking lots) before the crowds set in, and by starting early we also finish all but our longest hikes before noon. Our hikes range from short and fairly easy …
