1st Sat each month Walking Group - All Folk Espresso

Broken to Brilliant Walking Group All Folk Espresso Strathpine 1st Saturday each month 

The Broken to Brilliant Walk on the 1st  Saturday of the month, we meet at All Folks Espresso coffee shop on the corner of Gympie Road and Buckby Street Strathpine. We meet at 7am. We walk along a footpath along 5-mile creek and back for coffee at 8am.  This walk is suitable for prams. 

This walk combines outdoor walking, with a focus on being grateful for the small things in our lives as well as creating social connection. It promotes respectful relationships and says No to Domestic Violence. This walk offers victims, survivors, family and friends, community members a group to connect with and to join in an inexpensive form of physical activity in a safe and supportive environment. A range of people attend the walks, which creates a great support network.
