THE monthly Women’s Walk and Talk is a new, free group in the area started by Alicia Maree, a fitness trainer, and she welcomes all ladies in Lake Cathie and surrounds to come along.
Mrs Maree wanted to create a safe space and an informal setting for local women to come together, enjoy fresh air, warm coffee and the company of each other.
“I hope this walk gives women of all ages an opportunity to meet others, build friendships and strengthen their connection to the wonderful Lake Cathie community,” she said.
Mrs Maree stated that 20 women came along for the recent walk, which was held on Monday, 9 November.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with several people asking her if the walks could be held more often.
“The highlight for me was seeing a few of the ladies exchanging phone numbers at the end so they could catch up again,” Mrs Maree said.
“That’s exactly what the Walk and Talk is all about – creating opportunities for connection, friendship and community.” Mrs Maree stated.
Mrs Maree’s message to anyone thinking of joining is to come along and give it a try. There is no registration process and it is free.
The Walk and Talk runs on the second Monday of every month. Upcoming dates include 14 December and 12 January next year.
“Our goal isn’t speed or distance,” she said. “It’s simply to enjoy some fresh air, good conversation and a coffee afterwards.”
