🏃‍♀️🌅 Run the Stress Off – Mondays at the Lake

Leave your workday behind and come run it out with us.

Join a crew of good humans for a casual 3–5 mile jog around one of Minneapolis' gorgeous lakes, where the views are stunning, the pace is easy, and the vibes are all about shaking off the Monday blues.

We’re not chasing PRs—we’re chasing that feeling of freedom, fresh air, and a cold Bent Paddle IPA waiting for us at The Painted Turtle. After the run, stick around for great convos, lakeside sunsets, and your pick of post-run rewards: chips & guac, waffle fries, vegan buffalo fritters, BBQ jackfruit burgers, sausage sandwiches, ice cream, or whatever makes your soul happy.


✨ Who’s it for?

• Anyone who wants to move, connect, and decompress

• Runners of all levels (newbies and chatty joggers welcome!)

• People who believe community > competition

🍕 Third Thursday Pizza Night

New Pizza. New People. New Favorite Spot.

If you love pizza and great conversation, this one’s for you.


Every third Thursday of the month, we explore a different pizza place around the Twin Cities. From hole-in-the-wall gems to wood-fired artisan spots, we’re on a mission to find the best crust, the most unexpected toppings, and the coziest tables to gather around.

This isn’t a formal tasting or food critic club—just kind, curious people coming together to break bread (and mozzarella) in a new setting each month.

🧾 What to Expect:

• A new pizza joint each month (location announced the week of)

• We order a few pies and share—you’ll always get to try something new

• Come solo or bring a friend—everyone’s welcome

• Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and jump into great convo

Whether you’re new in town, need an excuse to leave the house, or just want to try that pizza spot you keep hearing about—this is your sign. 🛑

Let’s explore the Twin Cities one slice at a time.

🗓️ July 17th • Aug 21st • Sept 18th • Oct 16th

📍Location changes monthly (check latest update)

Breathe Deep. Stretch It Out. Start Fresh.

Every Saturday morning, we roll out our yoga mats in one of Minneapolis’ beautiful parks for a grounding, beginner-friendly flow that helps you let go of the week and drop into the moment.

Expect sunshine (usually), birdsong (always), and a supportive circle of people who believe movement, breath, and nature are better together.

This isn’t about perfect poses or matching outfits—it’s about showing up just as you are and moving with intention.

🧘‍♀️ What to Expect:

• A gentle 45–60 minute all-levels yoga session

• A welcoming vibe—newbies and stiff hips welcome

• Bring your own mat or towel

• Come solo or bring a friend

• Stay after for coffee and snacks supporting a local business... or just to linger in the sun

Take a breath. Feel the grass. Start your Saturday with presence and peace.

🛶 Second Sunday Kayaking w/ Sarah Lammi

Fresh Air. Calm Water. Good Company.

Once a month, we trade screen time for lake time—gliding across the water, soaking up the sun, and reconnecting with nature and each other.

Every 2nd Sunday, we launch our kayaks into one of the Twin Cities’ beautiful lakes for a low-key group paddle followed by snacks, conversation, and whatever post-paddle vibes the day brings.

Whether you’re brand new to kayaking or a seasoned water wanderer, you’re welcome here.

🌞 What to Expect:

• A relaxed, 90 minutes group paddle

• Routes change each month (lake announcements the week before)

• Bring your own kayak or paddle board or rent one

• Expect wildlife sightings, deep breaths, and easygoing conversation

• Optional hangout after—snacks, sunshine, maybe even a lakeside nap

>> Bring water, sunscreen, a hat, and your chillest Sunday energy.

Let’s float, chat, and soak up what Minnesota summer does best.

🍲 Make a Meal for Homeless Youth

Real Help. Real Connection. Real Impact.

Once a month, a small group of up to 5 of us gather at lunchtime, in at local organization to prepare a home-cooked meal for young people experiencing homelessness in the Twin Cities.


Together, we’ll cook and prepare nourishing meals that are packaged and stored in the organization’s freezer—ready for youth to stop by, pull out, heat up, and enjoy whenever they need a meal to eat.

We chop, stir, plate, and pack with love—knowing that even a warm meal can remind someone they’re not forgotten.

Whether you’re a kitchen pro or a “can follow a recipe” kind of cook, you’re invited.

• A group meal prep session (2 hours)

• Cooking, laughter, music, and good company

• A finished meal that gets delivered to a youth shelter that same night

• Tasks for all skill levels—from chopping to seasoning to plating

• A powerful, hands-on way to give back
