RENEW Your Soul At This Wellness Retreat
The teams behind Same Same But Different Festival and Almost Nakey have revealed phase 2 programming for RENEW – a one-day event blending wellness, community, and music. Tickets on sale NOW! RENEW returns to Fit Social Club in Mission Beach on August 2, 2026, and organizers have just announced the second phase of programming. The event is also backed by a number of local partners and sponsors, including Fit Social Club, Road Runner Sports, Boochcraft, Bloompop, Salt Vault, Reach Yoga, and more.
The newly announced additions build on an already packed schedule of movement classes, recovery experiences, and live music. Phase 2 brings a fireside chat with physician Dr. Georgine Nanos, plus performances from DJ Susan, ERO 808 (Pitbull, AYBBO, Kyle Watson), and CLRBLND.
One of the biggest additions is a special 360-degree house party set from Big Gigantic. Rather than the duo’s usual large-scale live show, attendees will get a much more intimate, immersive performance. This is a great chance for longtime fans to experience them in a completely different setting.
Another highlight of the new programming is a fireside chat with Dr. Georgine Nanos, a physician who has spent more than two decades helping people take a more proactive approach to their health. During the discussion, she’ll dive into topics like longevity, mental wellness, preventive healthcare, and practical ways to build healthier, more balanced habits that attendees can actually apply in their everyday lives. Recognized as a Top Doctor of San Diego, this is not something to miss!
I’ve attended wellness retreats before, and I have to say they’re expanding the wellness side of RENEW in meaningful ways. Along with the music and speaker lineup, attendees will have access to a variety of recovery and wellness experiences throughout the day, including:
- Cold plunges & saunas
- Massage therapy
- Chiropractic care
- Body composition analysis
- Sound baths & healing experiences
- Yoga
- Pilates
- HIIT & group fitness classes
- Barefoot beach runs
Created in partnership with Almost Nakey, RENEW brings together movement, recovery, community, beach culture, and performances in one setting, creating a laid-back community experience that’s just as focused on feeling good as it is on the entertainment.
