Remember when you had that one coffee shop, library, or community center where you just felt… at home? That special place between work and home where you could be yourself, connect with like-minded people, and find the support you needed? Sociologists call this a "third place": and we're excited to introduce you to ours.
Meet the NamaStay Sober Collective on Skool: your new digital third place for recovery, wellness, and genuine human connection.
What Makes a Third Place Special?
Third places have been the backbone of healthy communities for centuries. They're neutral ground where people gather not out of obligation, but because they want to be there. They're welcoming, accessible, and foster the kind of relationships that make life richer and more meaningful.
For those of us in recovery: whether we're newly sober, celebrating years of sobriety, or supporting someone we love: finding that third place can be life-changing. It's where we move beyond just "staying sober" to truly thriving in our new lives.
That's exactly what we've created with the NamaStay Sober Collective on Skool. It's more than just another online community: it's your digital home base for wellness, connection, and growth.
Your All-Access Pass to Wellness and Community
When you join the NamaStay Sober Collective, you're not just signing up for another membership. You're stepping into a comprehensive wellness ecosystem designed specifically for people who understand that recovery is about so much more than what we don't drink or use.
NamaStay Flowing: Yoga On Demand, Anytime
Life doesn't pause for our wellness routines, and neither should our access to movement and mindfulness. Our NamaStay Flowing library gives you instant access to yoga classes, guided movement sessions, and mindfulness practices you can do anywhere, anytime.
Whether you need a gentle morning flow to start your day with intention, a midday stress-reliever between meetings, or a calming evening practice to wind down, you'll find exactly what you need. Each class is designed with recovery in mind: no spiritual bypassing, no unrealistic expectations, just authentic practices that meet you exactly where you are.
Guided Meditations That Actually Work
Let's be honest: meditation can feel intimidating, especially when your mind feels like it's running a marathon every waking moment. Our guided meditation collection cuts through the mystical fluff and gives you practical, accessible tools for finding calm in the chaos.
From 5-minute breathing exercises perfect for beginners to longer sessions for deepening your practice, each meditation is crafted to support real people dealing with real challenges. Anxiety, stress, sleep issues, cravings: we've got meditations that actually address what you're going through.
Your Mental Wellness Toolkit
Recovery isn't just about avoiding substances: it's about building a life you don't want to escape from. Our mental wellness toolkit is packed with resources, exercises, and strategies for navigating everything from difficult emotions to challenging relationships.
Think of it as your personal collection of coping skills, communication tools, and self-care practices that go way beyond bubble baths and face masks (though we're not against those either).
The Power of Private Support
Here's where the magic really happens: our private support feed where real people share real stories, struggles, and victories. This isn't social media designed to make you feel inadequate: it's a judgment-free space where vulnerability is welcomed and authenticity is celebrated.
Need encouragement for a tough day? Celebrating a milestone? Looking for advice on navigating sober dating or alcohol-free socializing? Your community is here for all of it. Because healing happens in relationship, and you don't have to figure this out alone.
Who Is This For?
The NamaStay Sober Collective welcomes anyone who believes wellness and sobriety go hand in hand:
If you're sober: Whether you have one day or twenty years, this is your space to continue growing, learning, and connecting with others who understand the journey.
If you're sober-curious: Maybe you're questioning your relationship with alcohol or other substances but not ready to commit to a label. You belong here too. Explore what wellness-focused sobriety might look like without pressure or judgment.
If you're an ally: Maybe you're supporting a partner, friend, or family member in recovery, or you simply believe in the power of sober community. Your presence and perspective add value to our collective.
If you're in recovery of any kind: Our community recognizes that recovery comes in many forms: from substance abuse to eating disorders, from codependency to workaholism. If you're committed to healing and growth, you have a place here.
The Pay-It-Forward Model That Changes Everything
Here's what makes the NamaStay Sober Collective truly special: when you join, you're not just investing in your own wellness: you're helping fund scholarships for others who need support but face financial barriers.
Our pay-it-forward membership model means that every monthly contribution helps subsidize access for people in early recovery, those experiencing financial hardship, or anyone who could benefit from community support but can't afford traditional membership fees.
It's community care in action. You get the support you need while ensuring others have access to the same life-changing resources. It's recovery helping recovery, and it creates a ripple effect of healing that extends far beyond our digital walls.
More Than Wellness: It's Impact
When you join the NamaStay Sober Collective, you become part of something bigger than yourself. You're supporting our larger mission of making recovery resources accessible to everyone who needs them, regardless of their financial situation.
Every yoga class you take, every meditation you complete, every supportive comment you leave in our community feed contributes to a movement that's changing how we think about recovery, wellness, and community support.
Your membership helps fund our scholarship programs, supports our free community events, and enables us to reach people who might otherwise go without the connection and resources they need to thrive in recovery.
