What we’re about
If you're a lesbian or queer woman interested in having happier, healthier relationships, this Meetup is for you - whether you're currently single, healing from a breakup, dating, in love, or in a long-term relationship. Our classes and gatherings will help you learn the skills to find the right partner, BE the right partner, and create the relationship of your dreams.
We welcome all women who love women - or want to - whether you're lesbian, bi, queer, butch, boi, stud, femme, trans, same-gender-loving, or go by some other label or none at all. We love building community by helping growth-oriented lesbians and queer women connect with one another and support each other in learning how to date wisely and have conscious, healthy relationships.
Our approach blends science, psychology and spirit to help women love women - better. (Our backgrounds are in Neuroscience, Buddhism, Transpersonal Psychology and theology.) Our motto is: relationships don't have to be hard! But having an easy, joyful, fulfilling, lasting love does take having the right tools, and learning the right skills. Our Meetups will help.

The Conscious Girlfriend Academy is the leading global resource helping lesbians, queer women, and all women who love women -- or want to! -- to prevent heartbreak, date wisely, and love well. We also warmly welcome lesbian-adjacent non-binary people.
Many women who come out later in life wonder if they'll really feel welcome and accepted in the lesbian community. The truth is: you are the lesbian community, now! We are all culture creators. At this time in history, it's crucial for us to welcome ourselves -- and each other.
