Community building is not solely about socialising, it is something which brings people and cultures closer and together. While the concept of socialising confines to a forced combination of conversation, boredom and food, the concept of communities is essentially built upon networks with shared ideals, interests, spiritual-connect and other demographics sparking intrigue. A large acceptance of community building spaces, events, and activities are taking place but lately, bringing people together into a room, bar or an event space hasn’t been enough.

People with similar preferences and comforting activities, spirituality or social causes are creating platforms to engage in by largely emphasizing on creating a sense of belonging and strengthening of relationships to unite them in a larger format.

Women as a community, are adding to the pulse-movement of community building. Women-centric activities and events are gaining popularity and bringing the community together, embracing the culture of women-hood. One such event, ‘Female-Centric Beer Festival’ took place in Canada, which invited beer drinking ladies together by hosting a promising night of bonfires and plenty of booze coupled with idea exchange and encouragement.

Curated activities addressing lifestyle concepts like cycling, is momentarily giving rise to a community of cyclists. Platforms like Cycling Cafes, invite people from all over the world who share a common love for cycling, to come together. Even India has a similar concept cafe to boast about – the Ciclo Cafe in Chennai, which merges community and activity together.

Networking of communities that share similar preferences like embracing a sober life-choice, spirituality and health-centric lifestyles is giving rise to motivated fitness-centric and workoholic communities! Morning Rave Parties, like the ‘Morning Gloryville’ in the US, promote booze-free and sober lifestyles by inviting people, specifically the working milennials, to take part in such inspirational movements by being starkly different from other rave parties, starting around 6:30 am in the morning.

Inspirational, energizing music coupled with mesmerizing visual entertainment defines this community-building activity and is responsible for bringing conscious young people willing to ditch the boozing culture.

There are other such social-events that engage the similar sober community that promotes booze-free and sober lifestyle with alcohol-free bars, booze-less dinners, and even upcoming sober social networking websites that spark the interest of communities towards meditation, enlightertainment and those who prefer engaging in sober talks rather than in drunk talks!
