What we’re about

Hi, we’re Ryan and Emily 👋 We started this group because we believe friendships make us feel alive and joyful. Research shows that strong social ties can add years to your life, yet it gets harder to meet new people as we get older. That’s why we’re bringing folks together to share laughs, discover new experiences, and create the kind of community we all want in our 50s, 60s, and beyond.
Whether you’re new to the Bay Area, newly retired, or simply ready to expand your circle — you’ll find a warm, welcoming group here.

🌿 Our Mission
We want to make it easy (and fun!) for adults 50+ to build real friendships, stay curious, and feel connected.

🌸 What We Do
We keep it simple and social — no pressure, no cliques. Just good people and good times:

  • Walks & Coffee Chats – Stroll through local parks, then grab a cup together
  • Social Meetups – Happy hours, brunches, and small group dinners
  • Creative Sessions – Watercolor, journaling, or casual music jams
  • Speakers & Workshops – Inspiring conversations on topics that matter
  • Volunteer Outings – Give back while meeting like-minded neighbors

Most events are free or low-cost (a few may have a small fee to reserve spots and support hosts).

🌞 Who's It For

  • Adults 50–70+ of all genders
  • People who value kindness, curiosity, and community
  • Come solo or with a friend — everyone’s welcome!
