Find Your Next Adventure: Saturday’s Conversation Circles

Meet outdoor groups. Explore something new. Find people who want to get outside, too.

Choose one topic per round. Ask questions, share your interests and learn about ways to get involved. You can explore a different activity in the second round.

You don’t need experience in an activity to join the conversation—curiosity is enough.

Session 1 · 12:30–1:00 PM

• Hiking

• Forest bathing

• Snowsports

• Adventure travel

• Camping

• Water sports

  
  

Session 2 · 1:00–1:30 PM

• Hiking

• Bird watching

• Snowsports

• Mountain biking

• Fly fishing

• Rock climbing

  
  

Find Your People · 2:00–2:45 PM

Coming solo? These conversations give you a place to start. Introduce yourself, talk about something you’d like to try and see where the conversation takes you.

Now it’s your turn to connect with other guests. Share what you want to do outdoors, meet people with similar interests and start making plans.

Choose a conversation by location or activity:

• Seattle

• Eastside

• Snowsports

• Hiking + camping

• Mountain biking

• Forest bathing + walking + birding

  
  

More ways to connect

Conversation circles are one way to participate. You’re also welcome to spend that time visiting partners at their tables. With limited circle space, not every partner or activity has a session—there’s more to discover around the room.

A shared space for conversation

This is our fifth Women’s Outdoor Connection gathering and our first at REI Seattle. Several conversations will happen at once, so expect a lively room with some background noise. We appreciate your flexibility as we settle into the new space. Our volunteers can help you find your circle or a partner you’d like to meet.

Topics are subject to change. Final details will be posted at the event.
