On Saturday April 11th, we'll set out at 10am on a whirlwind tour of Berkeley, savoring as many cafes, parks, hills, trees, waterfronts, gardens, and scenic vistas as we can find. After the hike, there's a Philosophy Slumber Party that kicks off at 8pm, hosted by a friend. You can RSVP for the slumber party separately here: https://partiful.com/e/rFuJxDXFtkGVUWOq8reK
This is a 10-hour hike spanning 12+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point along the way ๐
All RSVP'd "yes" and "maybe" attendees will receive a link at 10am to my realtime location for the entire hike, along with my phone number, so you can see exactly where we are on google maps. If you text me when you plan to join, we can keep an eye out for ya ๐ค

๐ฟ About Hyggehiking ๐ฟ
Hygge means "a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being."
"Hyggehiking" is my own special blend, where we engage in that conviviality while trekking through green spaces throughout our city.
I host Hygge gatherings so we can come together to make new friends, discuss fun projects we're eager to work on, dive into deep, thoughtful discussions, and meet people who can help us see the world through new lenses. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls.
