Grain Walks - October Series

Grain Walks: October Series

This October, we're back in the city with a new round of walks and conversations. Grain brings together curious, open-minded people who like to keep evolving and want more than small talk.

Each session centres on something that matters, like a decision you're weighing, a goal you're chasing or an idea you can't let go of. Card prompts and games guide the conversation somewhere honest, and you'll talk it through with new people along the way. Expect to see things from angles you hadn't considered, and to leave feeling like someone finally gets it.

We believe growing is easier alongside people who are growing too, and it's how life starts to feel more fulfilling.

What’s on -

Hot Take & Tea

You’ve definitely got a hot take, and we want to hear it! Through thoughtfully designed card prompts, we'll break down hot takes on life, love, career and everything in between. There are no wrong answers, and the point isn't to win. It's to see each take from every angle, have fun, and land somewhere with real substance.

🗓️ Saturday 10 October, 10 am to 12 pm | Meet outside Bourke Street Bakery, Surry Hills

No Regrets

Our dreams, side quests, goals, relationships. How many of them are quietly slipping down the list because we're not making them a priority? And will they turn into regrets one day?

On this walk, we'll use card prompts and games to figure out what truly matters to us, and whether others feel the same. We'll talk it through 1-on-1 with a new partner at each stop, and leave knowing what's worth making room for.

🗓️ Thursday 15 October, 6:10 pm to 8 pm | Meet outside Barangaroo House

Philosophy Tea

Grab some tea and settle in for the big questions, with a philosophy card deck we designed just for this. Each round, you'll draw a card and take it 1-on-1 with a new partner, testing how the idea holds up in your own life: what makes a good life, what you owe other people, what you'd never compromise on. The questions come from great thinkers, and the answers come from you. You'll be surprised how differently the same question lands for someone else.

🗓️ Sunday 18 October, 10 am to 12 pm | Meet outside Bourke Street Bakery, Surry Hills

Format

Weekday walks run 6:10 pm to 8 pm at a relaxed pace along the harbour, taking in Barangaroo, Pyrmont, Darling Harbour and the Harbour Bridge, with several stops to reconvene as a group.

Weekend walks run 10 am to 12 pm around Surry Hills, usually with a sit-down in a park or cafe.
