The Mindful Drinking Project

Self Care Sundays is a supportive, welcoming space to connect with others who are curious about a more mindful relationship with alcohol and a more balanced way of living.

This meetup is about community. It’s a place to slow down, be heard, and meet like‑minded people who understand what it’s like to question drinking culture, take a break, cut back, or simply want something different. There are no labels, no expectations, and no pressure to share more than you feel comfortable with.

Led by Susanne McAllister, licensed therapist and author of The Anxiety Detox, and John McMillan, author of Coming Home: The Long Way Back and creator of The Mindscaper, this gathering blends professional guidance with lived experience to create a safe, grounded, and compassionate environment.

### What to Expect

• A warm welcome and gentle mindful opening
• A guided group discussion around mindful drinking and self care
• Opportunities to share your experience if you choose
• Small breakout rooms to connect more deeply with others
• A judgment free, supportive atmosphere focused on listening and understanding

This is not a lecture or a program. It is a peer‑supported community space where connection matters and everyone’s journey is respected.

Whether you come to listen, to share, or simply to be around people who get it, you are welcome here.

Come as you are. Stay as you like.
Wellness without worry.

### A Few Housekeeping Notes

To help create a safe, connected, and supportive space for everyone, we ask that participants join with their cameras on whenever possible. Seeing one another helps build trust, presence, and a sense of community, which is especially important in a shared support setting.

To honor the flow of conversation and protect the container of the group, the room will be closed ten minutes after the scheduled start time. Late arrivals can be disruptive to the group experience, so we encourage everyone to arrive on time and get settled.

Thank you for helping us create a space that feels respectful, grounded, and welcoming for all.
