SF: Fort Funston Sunset Hike from Lake Merced (3 mi)

This ~3 mile hike entails beautiful views of Lake Merced, the ocean and coastline, San Bruno Mountain, the surrounding hills, and even the Golden Gate Bridge on clear days. Meet at the picnic tables between the Fitness Court and the Lake Merced Bridge on John Muir Drive at 6:00 p.m. We will set off shortly after, walking toward Fort Funston to catch the sunset (or to admire the fog). The weather can be warm and sunny or cold and windy, so it's best to dress in layers También se habla español

How to Become a Genius: A Journey Into Human Potential

Welcome, and thank you for joining **How to Become a Genius: A Journey Into Human Potential**. I created this group as an invitation to explore what it means to be human beyond the usual boundaries of identity, achievement, and social expectations. Here, we will explore psychology, philosophy, spirituality, symbolism, and wisdom traditions from different cultures through meaningful conversations and the maieutic approach: asking questions, reflecting deeply, and allowing understanding to emerge through dialogue. This is not a space for proving who is right or convincing others of a specific belief. It is a space for curiosity, self-exploration, critical thinking, and authentic connection. I invite you to join our next gathering in the park, leave behind the distractions of daily life, and take part in a conversation where we can explore ideas, share experiences, and reconnect with our own inner wisdom. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and your authentic self. I look forward to meeting you and creating this space together. Welcome 🙏

Valencia Street Night Market Social!

**RSVP via:** https://app.gistirl.com/event-details/E00yDaMrAhu2ubvcCKh2 **Early Bird Discounts | More $ Later** Come meet me under the string lights on Valencia to track down the best late-night bites while the smell of sizzling grills fills the evening air. We'll spend an hour doing quick, app-guided one-on-ones to break the ice, and then we'll form small groups to hit the vendor stalls together. The Gist IRL app keeps things moving for the first part of the night, setting you up for easy, focused conversations with other locals who are always hunting for the next great meal. After an hour of rotating through these short chats, you'll choose the folks you connected with the most. That's when the real fun begins. You'll gather your favorite matches into a solid group of four to six, and step right into the buzz of the night market. By the time we head into the crowds, you'll already have a familiar squad to share plates, swap recommendations, and taste everything the street has to offer. Whether these folks become your dedicated street food crew or this is just a fantastic evening out trying new flavors, you'll be full and happy you came. The Plan: - 7:00PM: Check-In. Follow the link to set up your quick profile on your phone. - 7:05PM - 9:25PM: One-on-One Rounds. The app pairs you for focused chats. Find out who shares your favorite local eats, mission street food spots, and neighborhood cravings. - 8:25PM+: Form Groups & head into the Valencia Night Market to explore the stalls and grab some food. Reconnect with your favorite matches, form groups of 4-6, and head into the Valencia Night Market to explore the stalls and grab some food — your group leaves together tonight. Let's skip exchanging social handles and actually dive into the market to eat right now. You might just walk away with your new go-to squad for checking out local pop-ups and neighborhood food trucks. And if you want to invite them to the next foodie adventure, you can easily message everyone right through the app without ever having to trade phone numbers. A few favorite spots nearby: Limón - This lively neighborhood staple is celebrated for its incredible Peruvian rotisserie chicken and fresh, vibrant ceviches. Barberio Osteria - Located just across the street, this warm Italian spot serves up exceptional, seasonally rotating handmade pastas. Souvla - Perfect for quick bites on the go, this chic fast-casual eatery dishes out flavor-packed Greek spit-roasted meats and wraps.
