Conscious Lesbian - Queer Dating and Love Seattle

Our Conscious Lesbians 60+ Group meets weekly, all year round! Members are long-time lesbians, women new to being out, and everything in between, from ages 60s-80s.

This group is a project of the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, the leading global resource supporting lesbians and queer women with healthy dating, love and community.

By the way, this group has an existing monthly membership of 20-40 women and is cross-posted on 26 Meetups around the world, so don't be discouraged if you don't see RSVPs in your local group!

Our membership includes all kinds of interesting people and deep thinkers and feelings, including practicing and retired artists, musicians, writers, therapists, teachers, doctors, authors, and spiritual practitioners. Some are coupled; many are single.

What we all have in common, besides being lesbian, bisexual, pansexual or queer, is an orientation toward being conscious -- mindful, compassionate, curious, open-hearted and supportive.

Aging often brings isolation and loss. As we get older, most of us face health challenges, and so do the people we love. Often we lose people who are dear to us. Of course, this is true for everyone, but can be especially challenging for lesbians/queer people.

We have to continually re-imagine ourselves in order to live lives we love, especially with the impact of climate change, politics and other world events. Loneliness takes a big toll. We need each other.

So, we gather each week to talk about things that matter, make new friends, support each other through challenging moments, celebrate each other through good times, and enhance each other's lives with kindness, deep listening, a sense of community, and fun.

People commonly ask, "Should I join the Conscious Lesbians 60+ Group or the Conscious Girlfriend Academy -- or both?"

The 60+ group is a social and emotional connection group. There is no curriculum other than sharing and friendship.

If you're looking for life-changing classes on lesbian/queer dating and love, and weekly coach-led skill-building groups, you can find all that in the Conscious Girlfriend Academy. When you join the Academy, the Conscious Lesbian 60+ Group is included as a free bonus!

Quite a few women participate in both 60+ and the Academy. Of course, you can also choose just one. Either way, if you want to be among introspective, compassionate, growth-oriented lesbians over 60, we've got you covered.

>Check out our current and upcoming calendar of all Conscious Girlfriend Academy events here -- including weekly Coming Out Empowerment, Skill-Building Labs, live classes on Lesbian Dating, and even live in-person retreats :)

Membership in Conscious Lesbians 60+ is monthly. To try out the group free, please email us at ruth@consciousgirlfriend.com, and we'll ask you to set up an intake with our Outreach Director to make sure it's a good fit, before sending the Zoom link. This is to keep the group safe. A Meetup RSVP alone will not get you in. Thanks for your understanding :)

COMING OUT & COMING HOME Empowerment Group
Especially for those coming out in their 40s, 50s, 60s & 70s

Whether you've known since you were a kid but blocked it out, are just now realizing you're attracted to women, or came out awhile ago and need help finding community... if you are a woman who loves women, or thinks you might want to, this group is here to help you build clarity, confidence, community and belonging.

FYI, this group is posted on 26 Meetups around the world, so don't be discouraged if you don't see many RSVPs in your local group! We typically have 12-20 attendees.

Meetings are weekly and the fee is a very affordable $99/month. ***You must register and pay here on our website. (A Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in.)

You can also make an appointment with our Outreach Director to have a brief orientation to the group prior to coming, and then do a free trial. Just email us at outreach@consciousgirlfriend.com.

Why The Coming Out & Coming Home Group Exists

.. Because coming out can be one of the biggest, hardest, bravest and most important things you'll ever do.
... Because being your authentic self is key to a life well-lived, but it's almost impossible to get there without support.
... Because you deserve help from a warm, compassionate global lesbian community.


...Because it's never, ever too late.
... Because there isn't just one way to come out, or one way to be a lesbian or a woman-loving-woman.
... Because everything you've lived through has led you to this moment, and your time is now.


... Because lesbian dating is very different, and knowing how to do it right is key to avoiding heartbreak.
... Because lesbian relationships are more intense, and require some very specific skills to stay afloat and connected.
... Because lesbian sex can be the most amazing sex on the planet, but it's also way more varied and nuanced, so it takes building confidence, attunement, and bedroom communication skills.


... Because you deserve an open-hearted refuge, a place where people "get" you, accept you, appreciate you and cheer you on.
... Because the lesbian community is diverse, full of its own history, cultures and customs, and this is a safe place to learn them.
... Because there's nothing better than finally being loved for all of you you are, and are becoming.

... And, this group is offered by the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, the leading global resource helping lesbians and queer women prevent heartbreak, date wisely and love well. We wrote the book on lesbian dating -- literally! You can start reading our Amazon bestseller Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love right here.

"If it wasn't for this group, I wouldn't be coming out at all." -- T., 50

There are three big mistakes lesbians and queer women keep making in online dating, that lead to so much confusion, discouragement and pain. They could even lead you to give up on love entirely.

But once you see the mistakes, and the alternatives, you won't have to keep making them, and you'll be so much more able to find the connection you truly want.
I'm excited to offer this new pop-up class live on Zoom for just $1.00, because it hurts my heart to see how women in our community keep setting themselves up for pain, over and over again.
You don't have to be one of them!
Join us on Saturday, September 13, 12:00-2:00 p.m. Pacific, for:

The Three BIGGEST Mistakes Lesbians Make In Online Dating
(That Happen in Offline Dating Too!)
And How To Break This Pattern & Get The Connection You Want
(A Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in. If you're a newcomer to CGA, you must register and pay the $1.00 at the link above. If you've attended before, we will email you the link and you can come free.)

Mistake #1 is one I've never talked about before... and, don't blame the messenger, but I think you really need to hear this, along with the other two.
Seriously, just this one class could change the trajectory of your love life forever!
But I'll also be telling you more about our upcoming 12-week intensive, Lesbian Dating Essentials, that is an absolute game-changer for any woman who loves women, or wants to.

This class is cross-posted on 26 Meetup Groups and a big mailing list, so there will be lots of people there even if your local group RSVP count is small. We're the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, based in the U.S. but serving women and adjacent queer people in 25 countries around the world, and we exist to help lesbians and queer people grow, connect, prevent heartbreak, date wisely, and love well.

We wrote the Amazon-bestselling book Conscious Lesbian Dating And Love back in 2015, and you can start reading it free right here.

Hope to see you on Saturday! And even if you can't attend live, go ahead and sign up so we can send you the replay.

Lots of love,
Ruth

P.S. Wherever you are on your dating trajectory, the Conscious Girlfriend message to you is simple. You deserve the love you want - and no matter what has happened in the past, you can learn how to find and create it! Your relationship destiny truly is in your hands (even though it might not always feel that way).
Please forward this to anyone you know who might benefit from it. Together, we uplift the whole lesbian/queer community and create more happiness for us all!
