RealRoots Series

East Bay

The Gal Group Series is a 6-week program to create a gal group. It includes group formation, weekly guided experiences, all activities & games, and our guarantee that you'll make at least one amazing friend by the end of the series, or we'll rematch you for free 💕 Dinners are self-pay and additional. After the program, you'll join the RealRoots community for curated events and dinners with the larger community.

What does
the cost cover?

The series is designed to turn strangers into meaningful friends in 6 short weeks through the magic of repeated shared experiences and meaningful conversation. We believe in transparent pricing and have priced the program to bring extraordinary value (that hopefully tangibly improves your life) at the lowest price possible.
On average:

What are
the experiences?

We believe that for real friendships to form you need repeated shared experiences with the same people over a period of time. Each week includes a different activity (all fees included) and guided conversation over dinner led by your trained RealRoots guide (food is optional and self-pay based on what you order). Each week we also match you with 1-2 gals in your group for a "gal date"  -- our goal is you'll have a meaningful 1:1 with most gals in your group before the end of the series.
Week 1
Meet & Greet (Drink included)
Week 2
Storytelling + Dinner (Drink + game included)
Week 3
Mini-golf + Dinner (Mini-golf included)
Week 4
Scavenger Hunt Food Tour (Food + game included)
Week 5
Happy Hour Games + Dinner (Drink + game included)
Week 6
Closing Activity + Dinner (Activity + apps included)
Week 7
Reunion Dinner (Self-guided)
* Note: The exact order/nature of the activities above may shift slightly as we thoughtfully design your experience for your gal group.

What if I'm not available every week?

On average, everyone attends 5-6 of the 7 experiences. If you can attend 5, we recommend the series to you.

What if I didn't click with my meet & greet group?

If you didn't click with your meet & greet group, email info@therealroots.com and we'll intentionally rematch you for free. We believe we all women deserve meaningful friends who appreciate and support them, and we can rematch you again based on our learnings so that you find yours.

What if not enough gals from my group join?

We target group sizes of 6-12 women, so we'll add in a few new faces into your group as needed, so you have the chance to make many meaningful friends!

What is the RealRoots guarantee?

We guarantee you'll make at least one amazing friend through the program or we'll rematch you and put you in another series for free. The guarantee applies if you attend at least 5 of the 7 experiences. Our mission is to find you friends who meaningfully elevate your life, and we'll keep working with you until you do.

Can I pay per week instead of up front?

You do need to sign up for the full series as a package, because we believe that real connections form after multiple shared experiences. This way you (and everyone else) will know you’ll see each of the gals in the series multiple times during the series.

However, we totally understand that the upfront cost can be tough. To help, we do offer installment payments via Klarna and Afterpay. You’ll see that option during checkout!

I'm interested, but I'm not free for most of these dates! What can I do?

Email us at info@therealroots.com and we'll put you into a different series!​

I can't say enough positive things about RealRoots. I was nervous to meet a bunch of new ladies, but our guide was amazing. She set the tone for our group by curating engaging prompts that enabled us to cut through the small talk and connect on a deeper level in our first meetup. If you're looking to have fun and make authentic connections, join RealRoots. You won't regret it!

I went into RealRoots with low expectations and a lot of nerves but it was the most rewarding experience. I met women I genuinely want to be friends with and had the opportunity to get to know them in a low stress environment. I looked forward to the meetups each week and I’ve left each meeting feeling uplifted and energized.

Oakland, CA

Making friends in a new city as a young adult is so hard! I joined a RealRoots experience after a year of trying to make friends in the wild with not much luck and it has been so fulfilling! I looked forward to seeing the girls and the conversation prompts from our guide took away a lot of the typical awkwardness. Definitely excited to continue growing these friendships!

Tara T., 28

New York City

Ever since graduating college and joining the workforce, I have struggled to make new female friendships as an adult. RealRoots filled that gap that I think so many women experience, but no one truly talks about enough. By far my favorite thing I’ve done for myself so far this year!

Zoe R., 37

Sacramento

It’s so helpful to have a way to meet other women looking for similar connection and friendship. In a time of the virtual and online, nothing replaces meeting in person. I’ve spent a lot of energy in trying to meet new people through different avenues, and this is by far the most successful and meaningful. Everyone is on the same page in what they are looking for.

San Francisco

As someone that is new to the city, I found RealRoots as a life saver in meeting and connecting with new people. It is such a safe and comfortable place, you really don't feel the pressure to impress, or the fear that you might be judged. No matter if you are shy or extroverted, everyone gets a chance to show their personality.

Brandea B., 31

Seattle

I can't say enough good things about my RealRoots experience and the ladies I met. If you are looking for real, meaningful connection and are ready to commit, this is for you. Thoughtful activities, effective prompts, seamless execution - thank you so much to RR, our guide, and the ladies who showed up with so much grace, positivity, vulnerability, and passion.

Paola H., 25

Brooklyn, NY

Uprooting my life and leaving my close friend group behind in another state was hard. I don’t usually have trouble making friends, but after more than a year in Brooklyn, I only had one solid friend. Between working remotely and being chronically “busy,” I was struggling. I’ve made some friends through Real Roots that I really click with. As a bonus, I feel more motivated and energized in my personal and career goals—just because all of these women are amazing and accomplished. All ships rise!
