What's Going On?!
What's Going On?!
I love events. I love being social. I love planning.
Over time and experimentation, I discovered that many of the things I wanted to do, other people wanted to do too.
I’ve found that what’s easiest for me is to either plan or commit each week to various communal meet-ups, or to create the virtual systems necessary to get my social needs met. I’m a structured, systems thinker and to make things more seamless and effective, creating this page just made sense to me.
It’s the culmination of all the things I do consistently that I’d enjoy personally inviting you to — a smorgashboard of both in-person or virtual ways to connect — including one-time, weekly, or monthly options.
I want it to be simple to stay in touch with people I care about and also provide them beautiful networking opportunities inside the communities I value the most. This is foundational to the various communities I’m building and developing relationships in.
If I've sent you this link is because I value our friendship and would love for you to join me for anything that resonates with you. I send it with only love and no attachment to your personal decision of what you want to do or not do.
Love, J

Weekly Hangs in MDE 🇨🇴
The Medellin Run Club
Sundays at 8am @ Parque Lineal La Frontera
The Medellin Run Club is a group of runners in Medellin (of all levels), who were tired of running alone! The community meets 1x a week on Sundays at 8am to run on the Ciclovia, then we go for brunch afterwards. The group is an eclectic mix of runners of all levels and nationalities, now over 200+ at every event. I'm a co-organizer of the group. Follow the run club here for details on our next run.
Medellin Men of Mastery
Tuesdays at 6pm @ Kiin Living
Medellin Men of Mastery is a communal group of men in Medellin, Colombia, who are focused on self development, growth, and challenging themselves and their brothers to improve in a confidential, supportive space. If you're a man local to Medellin who shares similar values and interests, you can join us every Tuesday. Join our WhatsApp group. As a senior leader of the group, I facilitate the circle 2x per month.
Church on Sundays
Sunday at 12:30pm @ Iglesia REAL
On Sundays a group of us go to Iglesia REAL in Poblado for worshipping service. The service is about an hour long and is a mix of music, a 30-40 minute sermon, and oftentimes we go for a bite to eat or to reflect with each other afterwards. It’s a great way to improve your Spanish (if you’re learning), and a really nice environment for worship.
Pickup Basketball
Weds or Thurs at 5pm @ Unidad Deportiva Belen
I love playing basketball, it’s my favorite sport. There’s a few runs in Medellin that are consistent. I live next to a court in Belen that is highly active (people play pickup everyday), but there’s also an EAFIT run on Sundays at 2pm or sporadic games in Poblado near Parque Lleras. I tend to go to Belen on either Weds or Thursday evenings to get a few games in. There’s also a basketball WA group.
Cafe Co-Working
Tues and Weekends @ Various Cafes
A few days a week I get out of the house to do some in-person co-working. On Tuesdays before the Men’s Group you’ll find me at Kiin living from the early afternoon (usually around 2 or 3pm). On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays you can usually find me trying out a new cafe or at one of my trusty MDE Cafes to Cowork, which you can find below in the Google Maps link.
Resett Spa
Usually Weds or Fri @ Resett Spa
I have a monthly subscription the the Resett Spa. The spa has a contrast station (jacuzzi and cold plunge), and thermo (Sauna and Steam Room), as well as a float tank and a massage pool. They also have pressure therapy (for your legs), and really good selections of tea for relaxation. I go once a week to relax and “reset,” no pun intended. If you want to meet for a sesh, find details below.
Monthly/Quarter Hangs in MDE 🇨🇴
Sweat & Chill
Monthly @ Venue TBD
We create monthly Sweat & Chill events to connect 200+ health conscious beings in an alcohol-free space. Think: Workouts, ice baths, sauna, and community in a bangin’ location. Meet new people and deepen connections with old friends with lasting memories. Follow our page to learn more about our next event, watch videos from our past events and how to get your tickets for the next one.
Volunteering at Sembradores
Monthly @ Cancha Las Perillas
Every month we organize a visit to an orphanage called Sembradores de la 13. They have 150+ at-risk kids they service in their organization. When we visit we help the kids learn English, play sports and board games, dance, and spend time with them. In addition, we provide financial donations that go towards school supplies, meals, clothes, and more. Follow them below to learn more about their organization.
Medellin Breakfast Club
Monthly @ Kiin Living
A space where entrepreneurs, creators, investors, and thought leaders come together over breakfast to build meaningful connections, gain fresh perspective, and step away from the daily grind to return sharper and more energized.
11am Coffee Party
Quarterly @ Venue TBD
We create monthly 11am Coffee Parties for those who love to dance in the morning while overly-caffeinate. I personally don’t drink coffee (I bring my own Yerba Mate) but that doesn’t stop me from cutting a rug. Make sure to follow us to find out where the next one will be!
Fire & Ice Connect
Quarterly @ The HPH in Belen
Fire and Ice Connect is a unique connection experience blending body regulation practices and deep conversational prompts. Once a month about 30 of us drop in, go deep, and have fun while being surrounded by others who prioritize the same care for their body, mind, and soul. This event is hosted at the High Performance House Co-Living and is "choose your own adventure" style with ice bath, sauna, deep convos and disco.

😮💨 Breathwork with Nomads Journey Within.
A few of my friends put on an incredible breathwork + sound healing journey every other week. It's dope AF. The breathing is the same technique I’ve been certified in, and the sound healing is next level. Great location and vibes.

🐸 The Frog, The Toad, and The Temezcal
For all three it's 800k COP. I'm feeling the call deeply for Kambo, Bufo, and Temezcal. A friend and spiritual mentor of mine with a beautiful property in the mountains of Medellin (just 20-30 minutes outside the city) and hosting and administering the medicine. This will be a powerful ceremony — feel free to reach out for his contact, and if you’re feeling the call — would love to have you there.
