Midlife, or middle age, seems to be a fearful concept for many people, especially women.  But it does not have to be so.  Along with the changes in our bodies, these years can be a time of deep wisdom and blossoming, a time of coming home to ourselves in ways we could never predict. I'd like to create meaningful connection on this topic with other women, through self-discovery and sharing. This conversation "salon" will be tailored to the needs and interests of middle-aged women with a certain l …

Seattle-area ladies united in the bold pursuit of new friends, drinking, and irreverent fun-making. Lurk no more: if you were wondering where all the fun, creative, independent, literate ladies are, you found us.

This a group started by friends who want to experience new (and old) things with new (and old) friends. After looking for a Meetup of people to experience new things with, we were discouraged by the fact that there don't seem to be any groups for women of ALL ages to experience ALL that life in our community has to offer.

With 40 members and counting, would be such a shame for this Meet up to end. I know we all can't meet at the same time (because life gets in the way), but it only takes 2 or more ladies to get together and guess what?... that's a Meet up!  And it doesn't always have to be on Fridays but any day of the week.
