Our wonderful city has so many great restaurants, bars, and activities to offer and I would love to explore some of those venues with other young women! And lets be honest, after a long day of work, who REALLY wants to get back in the car or on BART to attend a meet up several miles away? Of course this gr …

Each meeting will be structured with multiple timed writing sessions followed by a period to share what we have written and receive feedback if we wish. The group will take place …

We believe in a caring and nurturing community, where all women are free to be themselves - safe to admit their weaknesses, s …

If you’re like me, you are a single/divorced/or widowed, professional 40+ woman who works 40+ hours during the week and has little time (or energy for that matter) to develop friendships with other woman.

Have you ever heard of Naked Girls Reading? It’s a group of ladies who enjoy giving readings of various works to a large audience au naturel. The group originated in Chicago two years ago when the founder’s husband caught his naked wife lying in repose focused intently on her book. At that moment, both agreed that there was something amazingly powerful about reading sans culottes. As a PhD literature grad student and a nudist, I have been doing this for years! And now, I think it’s the perfect t …

I started this group to provide a safe place to explore the challenges of relationship, separation and divorce. Navigating the waters of relationship, separation and/or divorce can be challenging.

Rather than feeling grateful for precious opportunities to grow and transform, we typically end up in the middle o …
