About us
Conscious Girlfriend Academy is a global school and community for lesbians and queer women, meeting live on Zoom year-round, and hosting several in-person retreats each year. This is a place to make real friends, build community, and learn and practice skills for the healthy, happy relationship you want and deserve. (And yes, though we are not a dating site, some women do find love here, too.)
Combining cutting-edge neuroscience, relationship research and attachment theory with decades of lived lesbian/queer experience, the Academy provides a uniquely empowering dating and love education for lesbians ages 20s-80s. If you're ready to be done with heartbreak, falling for unavailable women, drama and pain, and discover the path to truly nourishing, joyful, lasting lesbian/queer love, we've got you covered.
We began with the Amazon-bestselling book, Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love, which has changed lives in 25 countries since it was published in 2015. Start reading the book free right here: https://www.consciousgirlfriendacademy.com/book
As demand grew, so did our program, becoming an online academy with weekly courses, groups and skill-building labs all year round. Communication, emotional intimacy, sexuality, compatibility, heartbreak healing, nervous system regulation, attachment, how to actually date as a woman-loving-woman of any age -- you can learn it all here, in programs designed to meet the unique needs of our community.
Lesbian relationships can be the best relationships on the planet -- but they can also be train wrecks, if you don't have the skills to both choose the right partner, and be the right partner. Here you'll get the clarity, confidence, mentorship and support to find and create the love of your dreams. While members often say they wish they'd found us years or decades ago, it is truly never too late.
Hear from some of our members:
“Now, from the Academy, I have a roadmap available to me to start me on the process of consciously dating, weeding out based on red flags and non-negotiables…. I have a toolbox to help me ascertain if someone is going to be a good fit… I have a boatload of new, conscious friends …I am more comfortable and confident being in the world.” – Marge, U.S.
“I am just so grateful for your teaching and guidance in getting through all the complexities of our triggers, trauma, longings for connection and the things that get in the way. Looking so forward to ongoing learning with you!" – JW, Canada
“In November 2018, I finished your 12-week Roadmap class. Prior to that I had been trying unsuccessfully to date for years, with over 100 first dates that never went anywhere. Your class made the difference. Six days later, I met Marci on a dating site. We dated for 15 months, then married. We’re an incredible match in so many ways that we can’t believe it ourselves… She is 68 and I just turned 71.” – Diana, U.S.
"I have found this class to be transformative. Can’t think of a better word to describe what I have experienced. I am definitely not the same woman who signed up for this three months ago!" – D., Australia

Smart-For-Your-Heart Lesbian Dating
·OnlineOnline28 attendees from 24 groupsWhy is lesbian dating so hard? How can it be easier? And, how can you dramatically increase the odds that your dating will lead to the outcome you want -- which for many of us is a passionate, loving, trust-filled, harmonious bond that holds steady for the long haul?
That's some of what we'll explore in Smart-For-Your-Heart Lesbian Dating: An Overview, on Saturday, September 5, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Pacific Time. Please note: to keep the group safe, we do not post the Zoom link on Meetup or give it away free. You must >sign up, register and pay $1.00 on our website.

Here's What You'll Learn In Smart-For-Your-Heart Lesbian Dating:
The #1 mistake most lesbians make in dating, and why it sets you up for pain (and what to do instead)
Why "lesbian dating" can so quickly become an oxymoron, and what to do when you start bonding
Rose-colored glasses or red-tinted lenses: why those of us who get burned too much start seeing red flags everywhere, and how to be both open-hearted and discerning
Why both our biology and our culture lead us astray, and how to actually date in smart-for-your-heart ways that build a foundation for lasting love
This class alone can change your life.
But it's also an introduction to the 12-week Lesbian Dating Essentials Intensive
starting September 19.
Not sure you're ready to date? Leery about relationships? We get it. You don't have to want to date to take this class! It will also be illuminating and healing, help you make sense of past relationships, and give you a chance to interact with a beautiful community of 80 or more growth-oriented lesbians and adjacent queer people.Based on neuroscience, attachment theory, psychology, and decades of lived lesbian experience,
there's never been a better class to help you make sense of your past,
or move forward to the future you want.Who Is Offering This Class?
