MenWalking
For men to walk, talk, and connect with other men.
Why Walking Talking Men?
The physical health consequences of poor or insufficient connection among men include a 29% increased risk of heart disease, a 32% increased risk of stroke, and a 50% increased risk of developing dementia for older adults. Additionally, lacking social connections increases the risk of premature death by more than 60%. (U.S. Surgeon General Advisory.)
One in five men reported receiving emotional support from a friend in the past week, compared with four in ten women. (Survey Center on American Life.)
We’re taking one small step to help men connect with other men.
What?
Walk and talk for one hour, once a week, with men. Leave earbuds at home to be present with other men.
Where?
Meet at

Men ages 18 and over.
How?
Find a small group of men, introduce yourself, walk, and talk.
Do I need to RSVP?
No, once you’ve done a walk, no RSVPs are needed.
If this is your time, please email us at WalkingTalkingMen@gmail.com to let us know when you would like to attend
What happens after each walk?
Anything you want. Go for coffee with a new connection. Stay to connect more deeply. Go home. It’s up to you.
