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.
Local Lunch at our Co-Living
Thursdays at 11am @ The HPH in Belen
We host Thursday lunches to bring friends and housemates together over a meal. Our house manager, Patricia, prepares local Colombian dishes or comforting meals that remind you of how your mother might’ve cooked for you. It’s a simple weekly tradition that helps us slow down and appreciate what we have, as well as an opportunity to deepen relationships with others in a cozy setting.
Smash Hot Yoga
Fridays at 12pm @ Smash Hot Yoga
On Friday a couple friends and myself join a hot yoga class at Smash Hot Yoga. There’s 26 postures in a steamy room of 20-30 people that leads to an insane sweat and around 1k calories burned. It’s one part mindfulness, one part relaxation, one part intense workout. Plus, after we get to eat some Smash which is a great reward! Feel free to come to a class by booking online on their site.
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.
Action Black Gym Classes
Usually M/W/Th @ Action Black La 33
My favorite gym in Medellin is more akin to a Night Club than a gym. Action Black has locations all over Colombia, and their interval style training is awesome for a great 1 hour workout. They have a variety of classes (I like Jab and Lestrois the most), and they utilize a 4 min on / 1 min off format to get the most out of the hour long class. I book 2-3 classes per week, and they offer a free class if you ever want to join and get ripped.
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.
Padel or Pickleball
Every One in a While @ PadelHub or Belen Deportiva
I love paddle sports. Padel and Pickleball are two emerging sports, deriving from Tennis that are easy to play and a lot of fun. You can take classes or get a few people together to play virtually any day in Medellin. I prefer Padel, and there are multiple PadelHub locations, but there’s also a Pickleball court very close to my house in Belen at the Deportiva.
Monthly 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
Monthly @ 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
Monthly @ 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.
Medellin Curated Event Chat
Monthly Events Updated
A curated group community where I update the events for the month. The intention is for one place where spiritual, wellness, and social events are updated for the main people in my network that I want to keep up with.

😮💨 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.
