Curated adventures for the curious.
Side Quest is a community of creatives exploring wellness, art, and culture in pursuit of a richer life. Join us IRL to discover new passions, people, and places.
[ WHY? ]■
As adults, we often forget what life is really about. We get caught up in everyday chaos, losing sight of the joy, curiosity, and creativity that used to drive us.
“Side Quest With Me” is an invitation to play. It’s a chance to try something new, meet new people, and rediscover your passions. They say we all need three hobbies: one for the mind, one for the body, and one for the soul. We’re here to help you find yours. Whether that’s climbing a wall, making art, dancing, meditating, or simply laughing with strangers who might become friends.
By partnering with local businesses, we craft impactful moments that turn "someday" into "today." Because when life gets heavy, the only way forward is play. When life gets heavy, the only way forward is “play”.

Climb with Creatives
Every creative has a “thing” outside the studio; a physical practice that keeps ideas moving and energy high. Climb with Creatives is an invitation to step away from desks and screens and into the movement. Whether you’re an experienced climber or trying it for the first time, come move your body, experience glow in the dark bouldering, and connect with others. You’ll leave having tried something new, a new friend, and maybe even taken home some Arc’teryx swag.

Flow State | Pilates + Climbing
Flow state is that mental sweet spot where time disappears, self-consciousness vanishes, and you’re fully immersed in the present moment. For creatives, it’s the "zone" where the best work happens.
Flow State Pilates is a movement experience designed specifically for the creative mind. Through a blend of contemporary Pilates, intentional breathwork, and an immersive playlist. We’re helping you trade desk fatigue for mental clarity. Open to all levels, come move with intention and reconnect with your creative center.

About Us
■
Side Quest (noun):
/saɪd kwɛst/ (“syd kwest”)
An impromptu adventure or diversion from everyday life, taken alone or with others, driven by curiosity and the desire to to feel alive.
As creatives, our work deepens when our lives do. Exploring different spaces, activities, and communities expands our perspective, sharpens our insight, and adds texture to whatever we make.
So many of us fall into the same loop: wake up, scroll, work, go home, repeat. It’s comfortable but numbing. Side Quests exist as a gentle disruption to that rhythm. A reminder that it’s human to explore, to wander, to try things just because they’re interesting.
