Grounded Gathering: Walk, Connect & Sushi

Friday, November 6, 2026 | 11:30 AM–2:00 PM
Middlesex Greenway → Tano Mall, Edison, NJ
(The 11:30 AM–2:00 PM timeframe allows for a relaxed pace, conversation, lunch, and some built-in flexibility so we don’t feel rushed)

Grounded Gathering is back—and this time, we’re taking networking outdoors and letting the Middlesex Greenway do what it was designed to do: connect towns, people, and local businesses.

Join me for a walking networking experience designed for helping professionals who want to build genuine relationships while getting outside, moving, and enjoying good conversation.

We’ll meet at the Middlesex Greenway parking lot and walk approximately 1 mile along the Greenway to Tano Mall, using the Greenway to connect us with a local business and continue our networking experience.

Once we arrive at Sushi Saga, we’ll continue the conversation over lunch and sushi. Because networking doesn’t always have to happen in a conference room. Sometimes the best connections happen while walking, sharing a meal, and having a meaningful conversation.

After lunch, we’ll walk approximately 1 mile back to the Middlesex Greenway parking lot.

The Experience Includes:

Approximately 2 miles of Greenway walking round trip
Additional walking to and from lunch
Intentional networking and conversation
Lunch at Sushi Saga at Tano Mall (lunch is not included in registration. Please bring cash, as each participant will pay for their own meal.)
An opportunity to connect with fellow helping professionals
A chance to support a local business

This is a space for connection over competition—a chance to meet other professionals, learn about one another’s work, exchange ideas, and build relationships that extend beyond a single event.

Come ready to walk, talk, eat, and connect.

Let’s get grounded, get moving, support a local business, and continue building our professional community—one connection at a time.

Space is limited, and registration is required to attend. Please register in advance to reserve your spot.
