Late Summer Social: Chicago Bloom Nature Walk
A relaxed afternoon in the park to reconnect and reenergize the local Bloom crew.
Looking to meet other purpose-driven folks in Chicago? Join us for a low-key park hang to swap stories and enjoy the end of summer together. Whether you’ve been around since the first Bloom meet-up or are just getting curious, this is a chance to grow our local connections—no pressure, no agenda.
If the weather isn't nice, we'll meet at a nearby coffee shop.
✨ What to expect
A cozy meet-up in a Chicago park
Casual, unstructured conversations
A mix of familiar and new Bloomers
A soft restart for the local Bloom WhatsApp crew
