About this Event
January brings a chance to reset how we socialize. What if the hardest part of Dry January isn't giving up alcohol, but figuring out how to connect without it? Join Third Space Experiences and Dry Cellar for an evening exploring what you're discovering through your Dry January journey. Whether you're noticing new things about social interactions, sleep, energy, or simply what it feels like to be fully present, this gathering creates space to share what you're learning about yourself and connect with others navigating the same experience.
Dry Cellar specializes in curating premium non-alcoholic beverages that prove you don't need alcohol for sophistication or celebration. For this event, Stroll Cafe will feature non-alcoholic drink options in collaboration with Dry Cellar. Together, we're creating an evening where mindful drinking meets meaningful conversation.
What You'll Experience:
Put your phone in a pouch at the door and spend 90 minutes in facilitated small group conversations with others exploring their relationship with alcohol. You'll rotate through three rounds in groups of 3-4 people, with each round deepening the conversation. We'll explore social rituals and traditions, how we connect with and without alcohol, and what we're learning about ourselves through changing our drinking habits.
Throughout the evening, you'll discover that the "social component" many of us worry about when reducing alcohol becomes easier when everyone's navigating it together.
Who Should Attend:
This gathering is for anyone who is trying Dry January or exploring mindful drinking, feels curious about their relationship with alcohol, wants to meet others navigating similar questions, or wonders what connection feels like fully present.
What You'll Leave With:
You'll leave with real connections to people who understand this journey, conversation tools you can use in any setting, and the rare experience of being fully present without substances.
After the Experience:
Stick around for informal connection time with non-alcoholic drinks from Stroll's menu and continued conversation. This is your chance to exchange contact info, share resources, and build community with others on similar journeys.
Ready to discover what socializing feels like when everyone's showing up clear-headed and fully present? Join us for an evening proving connection doesn't need a drink in hand.
