What we’re about
Conscious Girlfriend: We Help Lesbians & Queer Women Date Wisely and Love Well.
Welcome to our Meetup group! Conscious Girlfriend offers free workshops and teleclasses, many free articles and videos on our website (www.consciousgirlfriend.com) plus a variety of other offerings - including in-depth online classes and live weekend retreats - all focused on helping lesbians and queer women find, create and sustain the happy, healthy love we want and deserve.
Our work is based on neuroscience, psychology, spirituality and other tools of transformation -- and it can help you find the partner of your dreams, and create the relationship you've always wanted.
I'm Ruth L. Schwartz, Ph.D., and I co-founded Conscious Girlfriend with Michelle Murrain back in 2013. Here's a bit about the professional background that went into that: I have a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and have helped individuals and couples grow and heal since 2003. I also trained in relationship coaching with Gay and Katie Hendricks, authors of Conscious Loving and many other books, and with the Somatica Institute, which offers a pioneering, experiential approach to sexuality and intimacy coaching.
But most importantly, I walk my talk and live Conscious Girlfriend principles every day in my own intimate relationship! I'm very transparent, not a "guru," but a real live person on my own growth path. I came out in 1982 and am completely committed to learning more about love, and loving in healthier and more intimate ways, each and every day -- and to learning what I teach, teaching what I learn, and supporting our community!
About You
If you're a single lesbian or queer woman who's seeking a new relationship sometime soon...
If you're not sure you want another relationship, but you do know for sure you don't want any more heartbreak...
If you know you're not ready now, but want help gaining skills and tools so that someday you can create the kind of deeply fulfilling, healthy love you've always wanted...
Or if you're in a relationship now, and want tools and skills to make your love as intimate, joyful, harmonious and satisfying as it can be...
We hope you'll join this Meetup group, and take advantage of some of our offerings!
We are very compassionate and inclusive. If you identify as a woman and are interested in loving a woman, you're welcome (whether you're trans, queer, lesbian, gay, genderqueer, just coming out, bisexual, monogamous, poly, or however else you might identify.)

We've created this Queer Spirit offering specifically to address the soul-level challenges many of us are feeling in this difficult time on our planet.
>Our gathering on May 4 is the first of a 16-week series to support you in accessing support from non-physical realms, healing and gaining soul strength and clarity in a powerfully affirming lesbian and queer-centered environment.
How can we best respond to the current crisis?
What is the work your soul calls you to do?
Do those of us who are LGBTQ+ have a special role to play in consciousness?
Did your soul choose to come to earth for this time, and if so, how can you make the fullest use of your time here?
For the first time ever, Conscious Girlfriend Academy Director Ruth Schwartz will be teaching the material from her book Soul On Earth: Living & Loving Your Human Life. The classes build on each other, so please commit to the series to get full benefit.
This series is a mystery school, a "university of the soul." By its end, you'll have a radically different understanding of how to fulfill your purpose on earth. You'll also have a community of fellow Queer Spirit travelers.>Learn more about the Soul on Earth event and pay the $1.00 registration fee here.
(A Meetup RSVP alone won't get you in)This event is being cross-posted in many Meetups, so there will be lots of attendees! It's open to all LGBTQ+ people and our allies. The Queer Spirit/Soul On Earth gathering is sponsored by the Conscious Girlfriend Academy, the leading global resource helping lesbians and queer people date wisely, prevent heartbreak, and love well. >Learn more about the Academy here.
