Social scarcity - I see Bay Area people using rituals and ritual-like things explicitly for social cohesion, because they're fighting Dunbar's number all the way to the utopian neo-tribe.

what are those rituals and ritual-like things?

I just came back from a weekend with a collective that used meditative circles led by one woman with a bunch of ritualized aspects, and a performance night with lots of collective involvement. More hits than misses but hard to explain succinctly.

is that specific to the bay area or just something that people on the new-agey spectrum tend to do?

I think it's New Agey in general, but spreading more broadly across the Bay Area. I mention it because I'm fairly woo-averse and it didn't trigger my anti-woo filters at any point.
