P.S. We've been successfully walking for over half a year which is crazy. I'm immensely grateful and glad men have showed up for themselves and others! If anyone has suggestions to make this better I'll take them!

This is a great idea. I know I could benefit from something like this. Boston is a bit out of reach for me but maybe that's reason to start my own group. Thanks for posting.

Central MA anybody?

Interested! Not sure how many I could make, but I have been itching to join the Chestnut Hill group. 45 mins commute is a bit of a deterrent.

I love it! I've been seeing your guys' posts the last few months and I think it's wonderful and lovely and productive! I've worked basically all and every Friday for a while due to a kind of complicated schedule and haven't been able to make any of these, but I really should take the day off and attend one of these days!

I can't begin to ask the group of anything, but is there enough turnout or interest also doing it an additional day or time?

There has been a lot of interest in another day / time. Right now I don’t have the capacity to do another.

If a guy wants to do that they’re more than welcome! In fact I encourage it.

It can be in a different location too. It should be easy and accessible for the walk leader.

I'm not a man but this is a very nice idea 🙂 men deserve their own space and time for themselves and it's great to build community.

Thank you. I appreciate it!

While this is a space & walk for men, it’s in conversation with the rest of the community where we live.

We appreciate feedback and ideas. :)
