BloomingZone Initiative

02/12/2026

In 2026 the BloomingZone Initiative's Moai Group Walks will be on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays. We'd planned on walking at Griffy Lake this month BUT due to the snow, and now mud, we will be walking the B-Line.

We're walking tonight so meet us at Clear Creek Trail parking lot at 5:30pm and we'll take a fun-filled walk on the B-Line Trail.

👉WANT TO GET MOVING WITH A MOAI WALK?🚶🏻‍♀️‍➡️🚶🏾‍➡️
By Heike Meya

A moai walking group is a great way to get
exercise. Through shared movement and
meaningful conversation, special social bonds are
formed.
BloomingZone’s moai walks are normally held
monthly on the second and fourth Wednesdays.
This month we will be walking on Wednesday, Nov. 12th. We’ll skip the second walk, which falls on the day before Thanksgiving.

Meet us at 5:15 PM at Olcott Park, adjacent to the Goat Farm, 2300
Canada Drive. If there is light rain, we will still plan to walk but if there's a
downpour, we will reschedule. For more information, contact Heike Meya,
hmeya@ .net or (812) 340-3518
