Why dedicate a night to female friendship? As our group discussed recently, our current world is full of so much change and chaos that the ground beneath us often feels unsteady. Perhaps it's during these times that women are called to return to what is trustworthy, reliable, nurturing, and supportive — the warmth of family, the grace of friendship, the embrace of community. Join us for an evening celebrating the depth and beauty of female friendships — the sacred connections that anchor, uplift, and inspire us.

The burden of guilt is a topic that raises its ugly head nearly every time this group gathers. As women we seem to feel guilty about nearly everything…. not being a good enough parent, employee, boss, spouse, daughter, sister, community volunteer, political activist, PTA member, citizen of the world! … we even feel guilty about feeling guilty! Oh my, it does not seem to end. Let’s gather and discuss how we can break free from the grip of guilt. The brilliant author/speaker Nancy Colier will join us via zoom. Cannot wait. Mark your calendars.
