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.

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

The Ember Collective is built on:

  • belonging over performance

  • progress over perfection

  • curiosity over comparison

  • movement that supports your whole life

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