Sober in the City Colorado Springs 2026: Your Denim & Diamonds Weekend!
If you know me, you know this…
I love Sober in the City! 🥰❤️
Like… mark-the-calendar, tell-everyone-I-love, “I will absolutely be packing sparkle” kind of love.
There’s just something about Sober in the City (SITC) events that lights up everyone every time. It’s the way you can walk into a room full of strangers and leave with real friends—people who feel like your people. It’s the way the laughter sounds louder because it’s not dulled by hangovers. It’s the way your nervous system exhales because you’re not bracing for the usual “why aren’t you drinking?” energy.
So yes, I’m counting down the days to SITC Colorado Springs, May 15-17, 2026, and this one is giving main character energy in the best possible way.
It is shaping up to be a full-on sober extravaganza… and I’m so excited I can barely pretend to play it cool.
Why THIS Alcohol-Free Weekend) Feels Like a Sparkly Reset 🪩 (Not a “Retreat”)
Connection-first, pressure-free, and wildly fun
This is an Alcohol-Free wellness weekend where connection takes center stage. No awkwardness. No forced fun. No cliques. No “networking” that feels like a business card battle. Just genuine humans choosing something better together.

Whether you’re fully alcohol-free, newly exploring it, or simply craving a sober curious weekend, you’ll fit right in. All Zero-Proof Experiences SITCs are where you get to show up exactly as you are.
The Vibe at SITC Colorado Springs 2026: Denim & Diamonds Energy (yes, you can go full sparkle!)

What You’ll Do All Weekend (Spoiler: You’ll Leave Glowing)
Morning Movement: Yoga + Fresh-Start Energy
You’ll get that “new beginning” feeling with morning movement that doesn’t feel performative. Think yoga retreat sober style: grounding, energising, and accessible.
Wellness Moments: Reflection, Reiki, and Nervous System Love
There’s something deeply healing about being in a genuine, fun and supportive community and taking care of your inner world. Expect a reiki session, a moment (or two) that helps you soften, release, and come back home to yourself.
Creative + Connection Experiences (at your pace)
The weekend is built so you can lean in or take a breather. You can try optional sessions like Neurodivergent Art (yes, please!), join experience blocks, or wander off for quiet time without feeling like you’re “missing it.”
Zero-Proof Experiences: Social Time That Doesn’t Feel Awkward
Because the whole point is: we drink… we just drink differently. These are alcohol-free social events that feel high-vibe, warm, and easy to settle into.

Meet the Keynote SPEAKER: Joshua James (“Josh the Non Alcoholic”)
From Bartender to NA Trailblazer
The weekend keynote speaker is exactly the kind of inspiration SITC does so well. You’ll hear from Joshua James, career bartender turned alcohol-free movement trailblazer.
What you’ll take home: confidence, clarity, and new ways to celebrate
This keynote isn’t just motivational—it’s practical. You’ll walk away with new ideas, new language, and new possibilities for how to connect and celebrate.
Questions to bring to the keynote (for max “aha” moments)

Are you experiencing sickness, fatigue, depression, pain or weight issues?
If so, then your body isn’t working as it should.
