Something that is technically a sound bath, only a little bit weirder, more mysterious, and alive. Think reverb, relational meditation, and ASMR.

We'll open with a grounding meditation and move into an hour of sound, silence, and whatever arises between them. 

Led by composer and certified Deep Listening guide Robert Holliday and Zen teacher Sara Campbell.

Whether you've had one glass of wine or 1000, this is the place for you. We will work our way up and down the coast of our wonderful state tasting everything and anything we want along the way! Did you know there are close to 5000 wineries in California? We'll be busy - come join us -- we are a friendly group with a lot of things planned! You'll never be bored!

First Tuesdays Board Game Club is hosting board games and card games night! We will play a mix of "party" games - casual, social games that are quick to learn and easy to play as well as "strategy" games for those that want a little more friendly competition in their life. We invite and encourage members to bring games they own with them for the evening! 

For those curious, here are some examples of "party games": Codenames, Monikers, Hues & Cues, and Things in Rings. 

For "strategy games", some examples are Azul, Camel Up, Quacks of Quedlinburg, and member provided games. 

(Please note we encourage members to bring games that are not too complicated to learn and can be completed in about 90-120 minutes. We love a good game of Arcs or Roots, and by joining the community you'll find members who want to play those sorts of games with you!)

A space for creatives of ALL mediums. Come fellowship, feel seen, & be heard. The mission is to help work through creative blocks together-musicians, photographers, painters, crafters, etc.

We'll ground, do a creative exercise, and thoughtfully review someone's art to help encourage artist to get unblocked. To submit your art, send a message!

Join the Los Angeles Ultimate Werewolf Game Meetup Group for a fun-filled evening of social deduction games! This is an advanced tournament for people that want to jump into more difficult roles. 

Ultimate Werewolf is an interactive game (part card game/part board game-similar to Mafia if you've ever played that) of deduction for two teams: the village team and the wolf team. Players on the village team don't know who the wolves are, and the wolves are trying to remain undiscovered while they slowly eliminate players on the village team one at a time.

Each player receives a card with their role at the beginning. If it sounds confusing, everything will be walked through at the beginning.

Whether you're a seasoned werewolf player or completely new to the game, this event is perfect for making new friends and testing your wits against others in a thrilling game of deception. Bring your best strategies and alliances as you navigate through the hidden identities and attempt to uncover the werewolves among us.

Not only will you have the chance to play Werewolf, but you'll also have the opportunity to socialize with fellow game enthusiasts in a welcoming and friendly environment. So come out, sharpen your skills, and enjoy a night of engaging gameplay and laughter with the Los Angeles Werewolf Meetup Group.

Annual GF Backpacking Weekend!

Our first trip was a success, so we’re heading out again! 

Dane (years leading Boy Scout trips) and Heather (camping pro who loves sleeping under the stars) will guide the group and make it easy. We’ll start with a virtual or in-person info session to go over details and help everyone get set up. Need gear? We can help with that too.

This is a beginner-friendly, easy backpack and open to all levels. 

Cost: We’ll split campsite + food. Last trip was about $75/person and will likely be less this time.

Come spend a weekend outside with us 🌲

Trip: Henry W. Coe State Park - Morgan Hill (South East Bay)
