31 Days. One Challenge. A Whole Lot of Possibility.
Start the new year with connection, encouragement, and accountability as we explore what life without alcohol can look like.
Whether you're taking your first break from alcohol, trying again after a few false starts, or already living alcohol-free and looking for some extra connection and accountability, this challenge is for you.
You don't need to have a drinking problem, commit to quitting forever, or have everything figured out before you join. Just bring an open mind and a willingness to show up for yourself and others.
Registration: $195
Come Gather Around the Campfire
Every night in January, we're bringing people together for a live, 60-minute Zoom check-in. It's a chance to share stories, talk about what's working (and what isn't), and find some encouragement from others who are navigating their own alcohol-free journeys.
Some nights you'll have something to share. Other nights you might just want to listen. Either way, there's a place for you.

Don't Just Take Our Word for It
Wondering what it's like to be part of Dry January with Café RE? Here's what some of our past participants have had to say.
Hearing others’ stories resonate with my own was maybe the best part… we’re all in this together and actively participating in this course made that crystal clear.
My attempt at Dry January was not perfect, but I learned about stacking days, giving myself grace for those Day 1’s and to not stop quitting.
I loved the small group breakouts. This really created a safe space for me to open up and share my journey with other like-minded individuals. I still chat with a few of my group members.
The classes gave me the tools I needed in the beginning of my alcohol-free journey alongside a community that I was doing everything with and that helped more than I could have imagined.
Ready to Pull Up a Chair?
You don't have to know exactly what the next 31 days will look like. You just have to be willing to find out. Join us around the virtual campfire this January and see what happens when you give yourself a little space, support, and possibility.
