We broach the topic of &#8216;no booze allowed&#8217; by making suggestions that don&#8217;t even require it in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>To inspire you, here are our top 10 ways to mindfully connect with your friends and strengthen your\u00a0bond, while still maintaining your own\u00a0lifestyle choices.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Breathe together and strengthen your bond.<\/h3>\n<p>Friends (and couples!) that breathe together, stay together\u2014with serious lasting power. Yoga dates are always great, or if your friend or lover is on the spiritual fence, try a fitness class together like spinning, kickboxing, or indoor rock climbing. But there&#8217;s no place else like on your mat to reveal your truest selves.<\/p>\n<p>Try hosting a mini-yoga or stretching session in your living room to entice the skeptics, or suggest meditation. Boutique studios like Manhattan&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/mndflmeditation.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">MNDFL<\/a>\u00a0could make for a mindful playdate that leads to stimulating post-meditation discussion, or you could even suggest\u00a0a 30-day meditation challenge to a group of friends and follow\u00a0each other&#8217;s progress.<\/p>\n<h3>Get outdoors and let nature ground you.<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">This one is so simple and yet, so often forgotten\u2014especially for those of us big city dwellers. Rather than the usual get-togethers with friends (boozy summer barbecues, wine-and-dine dinner parties, extended happy hours&#8230;) organize a camping trip, picnic in the park, or hit the beach. If you and your gang are an adventurous bunch, why not try a hiking\u00a0expedition, or do some kayaking or canoeing? There&#8217;s no time like the present (hello, summer!) to let mother nature work her magic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We always hear about how nature is so restorative, grounding, soothing, and therapeutic\u2014so it seems like a natural choice to share these wonderful feelings with our loved ones. Pack a real camera, or hey, even a refurbished polaroid, and snap a few real and lasting moments together\u2014that really only need to be shared between you.<\/p>\n<h3>Tear up the dance floor like you were born to be wild.<\/h3>\n<p>&#8216;Dance yrself clean!&#8217; Sober dance parties are picking up some serious (sweaty) steam, thanks to the widespread popularity of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/06\/13\/nyregion\/daybreaker-an-alcohol-free-morning-dance-party.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">Daybreaker<\/a>, and DJ Tasha Blank, the founder of <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/artist\/tasha-blank\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Get Down<\/a> and a performer at Wanderlust. Daybreaker is known as the early morning\u00a0dance party, incorporating cardio and\u00a0dance-without-abandon into your day\u2014and all before 9 a.m.<\/p>\n<p>The Get Down however, is a bit of an anomaly on the sobriety circuit, since it takes place at happy hour in a West Village nightclub, complete with a full bar. What&#8217;s interesting about the magic of The Get Down is that despite that alcohol is readily available, no one seems to care. There is no direct callout of the fact it is a &#8222;sober dance party,&#8221; but rather, an acknowledgement that the reason why everyone is having a good time is because they&#8217;re &#8222;solid&#8221; in mind, body, and heart. And if you decide you need a drink to break the ice anyway, you won&#8217;t be shunned for it either. We dare you and your friends, however, to hit the dance floor and channel your inner wild\u00a0natures without using alcohol to help you let loose, and simply dance like you were born to do it. Even better? The Get Down kindly asks that\u00a0you leave your cell phones off the dance floor.<\/p>\n<h3>See live music\u00a0and soothe your soul.<\/h3>\n<p>Summer festival and tour season has kicked off, with the biggest names in music hitting the road, and with any luck, an amphitheatre near you. (Is it even possible to score Radiohead tickets anymore?)<\/p>\n<p>And yoga festival season is also underway, with Wanderlust&#8217;s own kicking off <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/festivals\/snowshoe\/\" target=\"_blank\">in Snowshoe\u00a0in June<\/a>, and many others following suit around the globe. Music and yoga have always gone hand-in-hand, so make an excuse to go on a maiden voyage or vision quest with your bestie and find yourselves amid breath and beats.<\/p>\n<p>But we needn&#8217;t always have to look far for musical inspiration\u2014so why not mobilize your crew and take the local scene by storm. Sure, many shows are held at bars, but when your attention is on the music that truly moves you and the good company you&#8217;re in, any inner restlessness you\u00a0might be\u00a0experiencing is sure to subside. Challenge: Try to enjoy the entire performance without Instagramming it. Experience what it&#8217;s like first hand to really feel the music pulsating and reverberating throughout your being. Pay attention to what&#8217;s happening and savor every moment. And once again, dance with your friends like there&#8217;s no tomorrow.<\/p>\n<h3>Channel your inner artiste without inhibition.<\/h3>\n<p>Adult coloring, anyone? Paint, draw, or hey, even fiddle around with those old instruments collecting dust in your closet. By embracing our inner artist, we allow our inner child to come out to play. And what better way to do this than with our favorite playmate! <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/behind-the-lines-of-the-wanderlust-coloring-book\/\" target=\"_blank\">Coloring for adults<\/a> has become widely regarded as cathartic, even therapeutic, but why do it alone? Let&#8217;s apply this same principle to our hang-time and watch the time fly by. When we allow ourselves to be creative, there&#8217;s a strong chance for self-discovery\u00a0yes, but there&#8217;s also a distinct possibility you&#8217;ll learn something new about your friend, too. Who knows, maybe this could spark the beginning of a creative collaboration\u2014like starting your own indie folk duo?<\/p>\n<h3>Feast your eyes at\u00a0the museum or cinema.<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing says &#8216;feast for the senses&#8217; more than a breathtaking work of art. When was the last time you spent a night at the museum for a special event? Give you and your friend permission to dress up and hit the town for a cultural evening\u00a0out. The always-popular &#8216;First Friday\/Saturday&#8217; events can be found at many major cities, and are a great opportunity to meet new and interesting people. Plus you&#8217;ll get to\u00a0experience\u00a0some underground\u00a0local art that you may not have known about otherwise. Or, check your listings for special film engagements or festivals, and catch a noir classic together, making sure you set aside some time afterward to\u00a0discuss it.<\/p>\n<h3>Hit the farmers market and cook something seasonal.<\/h3>\n<p>Shopping at the local\u00a0farmers market is available year round\u2014even for those of us in the Northeast in the dead of winter. It&#8217;s always interesting to see what&#8217;s available and in season, and many will argue that it&#8217;s the most natural way to\u00a0eat. Nothing says Saturday better than strolling through fresh seasonal produce with your best buddy and getting inspired about what kind of meals to create with what&#8217;s available. Grab a hot cider while you shop around, and brainstorm the ways you could combine forces and cook together.<\/p>\n<p>By the time you get yourselves to the kitchen, chances are you&#8217;ll be so excited (and hungry) to co-create your feast, that you won&#8217;t even be thinking about drinking. (FYI, permission to\u00a0break the no screen rule here by looking up a few recipes to galvanize your inner\u00a0Anthony Bourdain.)<\/p>\n<h3>Join a league and break a sweat.<\/h3>\n<p>Or start a league of your own! Being active with your friends or even your partner is an amazing, and super fun\u00a0way to bring you closer together. Check out the local leagues in your area and see where your common interests lie: soccer, baseball, ultimate frisbee, a running club? Those of us who played sports in high school know all to well the power of team spirit\u2014the adrenaline rush and thrill of competition; the honor in showing up and giving your all.<\/p>\n<p>These feelings and sensations are <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderlust.com\/journal\/the-awesome-emotion-thats-great-for-your-health\/\" target=\"_blank\">awe-inspiring and great for our health<\/a>. When we can keep busy by staying active and committed to a team that relies on us to be our best, there&#8217;s not much room leftover for detrimental distractions.<\/p>\n<h3>Grab coffee or tea and keep your hands busy.<\/h3>\n<p>Coffee shops aren&#8217;t just for laptops and headphones\u00a0and\u00a0a place to have some alone time to get your freelance work done. Artisanal coffee is getting more interesting, as baristas transform boring white froth into masterful works of art. Matcha\u00a0lattes with hemp or coconut milk\u00a0are the latest must-haves among wellness enthusiasts, providing more options to\u00a0&#8222;grab\u00a0drinks&#8221; with a friend. Juice bar culture is undoubtedly oversaturated, but it doesn&#8217;t have the same sit-and-play-a-board-game appeal as the traditional coffee house\u2014which is exactly the point.<\/p>\n<p>Playing old-school games like Monopoly, Connect Four, or Sorry!\u00a0over a couple of warming, responsibly-sourced brews (like coffee or tea) could give us\u00a0something more to talk about than our latest posts on social media. Oftentimes we might turn to alcohol when we socialize, or maybe when the moment the socializing becomes uncomfortable, we reach for our phones.\u00a0But we&#8217;re not really connecting with our friends when we have a drink in one hand a phone in the other, are we? Playing games is not just for kids\u2014if anything, adults need to even more so.<\/p>\n<h3>Partake in a ritual with an open mind.<\/h3>\n<p>Rituals are a wonderful and unorthodox way to enhance\u00a0our relationships by forcing us to step outside of our comfort zones. Many yoga studios hold space for new and full moon circles and rituals, offering a place for communities to connect. Astrologers and spiritual teachers alike will also host circles in private settings or larger event spaces\u2014some open to women only, while others remain all inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>A new moon ceremony is a time to plant seeds for the corresponding full moon in the same zodiac sign six months later. These rituals\u00a0could be powerful to participate in with a close friend\u00a0so you\u00a0can hold yourselves accountable for your actions. Other rituals can be\u00a0seasonal and fall at the time of the equinoxes, while some may partake in mysticism or even light witchcraft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u2014<em><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-51515 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/live-wanderlust-fest.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/andrea-rice-headshot-new-edit1.jpg\" alt=\"andrea-rice-headshot-new-edit\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/>Andrea Rice is a Senior Writer\u00a0for Wanderlust Media.
