Description: Where the water narrows and the land stretches forward, the journey begins in quiet motion. Along the edge of the Cape Cod Canal , the air carries a mix of salt, wind, and distant sea energy—steady, grounding, alive. This isn’t a walk about reaching a destination. It’s about moving with intention, letting each step soften the noise of everything else.
The path unfolds beside the canal’s strong currents, where ships pass like slow-moving thoughts and the horizon feels wide open. Gradually, the route leads toward the coast, where sand, marsh, and sky begin to blend. At the end, the Sandwich Boardwalk appears like a quiet reward—wooden planks stretching over dunes and salt marsh, where the wind moves freely and time feels unhurried. Standing there, everything feels lighter, as if the ocean is exhaling with you.

🌊 What to Expect: • Scenic canal-side walking paths with wide, open views • Transition from engineered waterway to natural coastal marsh • Moments of silence broken only by wind, birds, and distant waves • A gradual shift from movement into calm presence at the boardwalk
📌 Event Details Distance: ~4.5 miles (depending on route variation)
🎒 What to Bring: • Comfortable walking shoes • Light layers for changing coastal wind • Water and an open mind • Willingness to slow down and notice the small things • It’s also recommended to bring snacks, since the schedule may fall right between typical meal times. Having something light on hand will help keep energy up during the walk and make the experience more comfortable without needing to rush or depend on stops along the way.
📍 Meeting Details: Full directions and meeting info will be shared the day before the walk.
🌤 Weather Note: We’ll monitor conditions and send any updates or cancellation details by 6:00 PM the evening before. You can also check local trail conditions. (NOA)
☕ Optional Post-Walk Gathering: On the way back, the journey continues with a relaxed stop at Tree House Brewing Company , where we can take a break, explore the space, and see what they have on tap. It’s a good moment to unwind, chat, and enjoy the atmosphere after the walk. From there, as we head back in our cars, we can decide together who wants to extend the day with a casual meal at a nearby restaurant. Nothing formal—just a shared moment to eat, rest, and reflect on the route before heading home. It turns the experience into a full-day rhythm: movement, pause, connection, and closure.
👥 Affinity Note This is a 20s & 30s affinity event, but all are welcome. If you don’t identify with this age group, we trust that you’ve reviewed our allyship guidelines, taken the time to reflect, and are committed to our Code of Conduct. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Description: Join the Narragansett young members for an opportunity to stretch your legs after work with a hike around the beautiful Frosty Hollow and Breakheart Ponds in Arcadia Management Area. This fairly flat trail will take us on a loop around Breakheart Pond and out and back on some trails in the vicinity for no more than 4 miles. Participants can expect a brisk pace and uneven trails with roots and rocks. The section around Breakheart Pond is fairly wide and groomed, however the abutting trails can be narrow with many tripping hazards underfoot.

Participants should bring:

• Fluorescent orange vest (required by law)
• 1 liter water
• Boots with good tread
• Bug spray for ticks

Afterwards, participants are welcome to continue the social adventure at the Cornerstone Pub on route 3, 10 minutes down the road. Participants can expect an email a day in advance with parking instructions and details for where to meet, along with the weather forecast for any additional weather related gear.

Description: No trail shoes. No bug spray. Just flavor, laughter, and the joy of discovering something new. Because adventure doesn’t always require a backpack. Sometimes, all you need is a fork and the curiosity to discover what’s nearby. Join us for a culinary experience that goes beyond the plate. At S.E.A.L., we celebrate local flavors, the stories shared around the table, and the magic of connecting with genuine people in unexpected places. Each gathering is different. The menu changes, the location shifts, but the spirit stays the same: explore, savor, and live every adventure locally.
This time, we’re trading the forest path for fork and plate, and meeting at a local culinary gem in Rhode Island.
This month’s location:
Al Forno Restaurant brings the soul of Italian cuisine to life with a warm, rustic elegance that has defined Providence’s dining scene for decades. Its menu blends time-honored Italian traditions with inventive techniques, creating dishes that feel both comforting and refined — bold in flavor, simple in presentation, and deeply satisfying. Signature dishes like their legendary grilled pizza, handmade pastas, wood-fired meats, and seasonal vegetable plates highlight high-quality ingredients, careful craftsmanship, and a deep respect for Italian culinary roots. Thoughtful vegetarian options and house-made desserts add balance and variety to the experience. To complete the atmosphere, Al Forno offers an intimate, inviting dining room paired with attentive service, making it an ideal choice for special occasions, or relaxed evenings enjoying exceptional Italian food in the heart of Providence.
