Ember collective
A community built around movement, connection, and steady growth.
The Ember Collective is our gathering place — on trails, over coffee, in quiet reflection, and sometimes online. It’s where movement meets conversation, encouragement, and real community.
You don’t have to be the fastest. You don’t have to “keep up.”
You just show up as you are — and we take the next step together.
Movement and shared miles
Gatherings built around movement, presence, and good company.
We explore trails, walk, jog, hike, and take in the landscape together — with room for conversation, quiet moments, breaks, and curiosity.
Ember run club
Morning Embers
We meet at 5:00 AM to move and welcome the day — steady, simple, together.
Get updates and details through text.
Pages and peaks book club
A monthly book gathering connecting story, place, resilience, and the inner work that happens when we move through the world intentionally.
We choose fiction and nonfiction that inspire reflection — not homework.
Expect:
thoughtful conversation
guided prompts
room to listen quietly if you prefer
connections between the page, the trail, and everyday life
Read as much as you can — show up as you are.

Movement, together

We’re not here to prove how tough we are.
We’re here to build strength that carries — emotionally, mentally, and physically.

You’re welcome here — whether you’re returning to movement, building toward big goals, or simply looking for people who move through the world with intention.
