What we’re about

Renew Collective cultivates communities where genuine connections thrive through engaging, alcohol-free experiences across the Bay Area. We create welcoming spaces for everyone—whether you're alcohol-free, sober curious, mindfully moderating, or simply looking for meaningful social connections without alcohol at the center.

We're passionate about fostering networks where everyone can discover meaningful friendships in welcoming environments.

Our Events
Jump into the fun! Our jam-packed calendar is bursting with exciting ways to mix, mingle and make memories:

  • Alcohol-Free socials
  • Outdoor adventures (hikes, walks, picnics)
  • Creative workshops and crafting sessions
  • Wellness experiences (yoga, meditation, seminars)
  • Game nights and casual gatherings
  • Cultural outings and movie nights
  • Tarot readings and spiritual exploration

All our events take place in Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Albany, Richmond, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and San Francisco.

Our Philosophy
At Renew Collective, we foster gatherings that celebrate presence and authentic connection. While our events are alcohol-free, our community welcomes people from all paths—whether you're in recovery, taking a break, cutting back, or simply prefer socializing without alcohol.

Our gatherings welcome everyone seeking social experiences where meaningful interactions take center stage.

First-timer? No worries! Our community is known for its warmth and inclusivity. The initial awkwardness quickly melts away as conversations flow and connections form naturally.

Rules of the group:
If you do not visit us within 6 months, you will be automatically declined from this meetup group. We are interested in active members only at this time. The option to rejoin will be offered once, and if within another 6 months, you have not participated in an event, you will be declined permanently.

After two no-shows, you will be declined membership. When you RSVP and cannot make the event, please move yourself to "No" as a courtesy for anyone who might be on the waiting list, and also so that the group isn't expecting you. Marking yourself as "Not Going" after the RSVP end time has lapsed will count as a No-Show, please be conscious of the time and effort it takes to organize these volunteer-run events. If you think that you are a "Maybe" ask to be added to a waitlist.

A profile photo showing your face is required when you sign up, no scammers, robots, or fake accounts please!

Be respectful, and kind, and do your best. Be true to your word, don't make assumptions, and try not to take things personally without all the facts. If you are having an issue with another member bring it up to the Event Host to have it resolved at that moment. Those who continue to be disruptive and harmful to others will be declined membership. Members participating in our events must be respectful in interactions with people and in content posted on the platform.

We are not a dating group, and though we recognize members will make their own connections, it's not the focus of this meetup.
Please do not solicit members for your own business. If you have an idea for a workshop or informational meetup bring it up with the Organizer to create a separate event.

The Organizers in this group are volunteers. Our Organizers are neither professional guides nor do they have special training or qualifications. The organizer is not trained for emergency medical procedures and no doctors, nurses, or ambulances are provided on the hikes. The sole role of the organizer is to organize the event. Think of them as friends hiking in a group with you. They are not responsible for your safety or actions or anyone else’s. They are not responsible for any incident during the event. They are not responsible for carpool arrangements to the Meetups or incidents during carpools. Each person who signs up for an event is responsible for their safety.
