On Saturday July 12th, we'll be trekking through the forests, islands, woods, and wildlife sanctuaries of the Eastern Bronx, beginning near Pelham Bay Park and ending at City Island Fishing Village. Here's my Google Maps list of the places we'll pass by: https://maps.app.goo.gl/dRZ8CoKzvsxV9Cd66 FYI this is a 10+ hour stroll spanning 5+ miles, and you are free to join us at *any* point along the way 🙌 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 and text me when you plan to join so we can keep an eye out for ya 🤗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 🌿 About Hyggehiking 🌿 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 make NYC feel like a smaller, closer-knit community. We bring our friends, family, coworkers, anyone we think would enjoy spending the day alongside a variety of curious souls. This particular Hygge hike is celebrating the third annual Week of Visibility for Non-Monogamy. Anyone is welcome to join regardless of their preferred relational orientation or structure, but as part of this celebratory week, feel free to ask your host any and all questions about non-monogamy, polyamory, or other relationship archetypes.
