Real conversations. No pitches. Community over credentials.
What It Is
The Anti-Networking Networking Club™ is a quiet rebellion against awkward small talk, status-driven conversations, and “what do you do?” on repeat.
It’s a gathering for:
Creative professionals
Thoughtful entrepreneurs
Career changers
Purpose-driven humans
Whether you’re starting something new, growing a business, or figuring out what’s next, this is a space where you can show up fully—no scripts, no selling, no pressure.
Where who you are matters more than what you do

Hosted in Petaluma, CA
We usually meet at Grand Central Petaluma, but sometimes we like to go on a local field trip! Each gathering has its own vibe, but the intention is always the same: real connection, no pressure.
And yes—it’s always free to attend.
