What we’re about
Let's get together for fun activities (dinner, drinks, trail runs and hikes, performances, you name it!) with other local women who have chosen to remain child-free*!
We're not anti-kid, we've just chosen a different path, and in the family-centric Boulder area it can feel like an isolating one sometimes. Let's celebrate the freedom that our lifestyle affords us together!
Addendum: If you choose to join our wonderful group, please know that I reserve the right to remove you if you display a pattern of no-showing or last-minute cancellations. When you sign up for an event and either bow out less than 48 hours in advance or simply don't bother to attend, you: 1) Take a spot someone else wanted, 2) negatively impact restaurants/bars/other establishments that set aside a predetermined number of spots for our group. Very uncool. Of course unexpected obstacles come up for all of us, but if flakiness is a pattern for you, I'll need to remove you for the sake of fairness to others. I hate having to say this, but the last few months have shown me that it's necessary.
*Please note that the women in this group have chosen not to have/raise children. This is not the group for you if your adult kids have moved out of the house and you’re looking to spend afternoon without the company of your friends’ toddlers.

Winter Solstice Hike + Coffee
Rattlesnake Gulch Trailhead, 3234-3236 Eldorado Springs Dr, Boulder, CO, USThe Winter Solstice is upon us — it's a time to slow down, rest, and start thinking about the ways we want to grow when the sun returns in the spring. To honor the longest night of the year, let's hike up to a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Continental Divide. Rattlesnake Gulch is a relatively short trail (about 3 miles round trip) with big views.
All paces are welcome! We'll go slowly and stop often to regroup. No one hikes alone. Check out trail details here: https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/colorado/rattlesnake-gulch-trail--6
Feel free to bring a warm beverage for the trail. I'll bring Tarot and Oracle cards — if it's not too bitterly cold at the top, we can stop and do some intention setting for the new year!
On the way back, we'll have an optional coffee stop at Boxcar Coffee in Table Mesa.
Notes — please read!
- We love dogs, but please leave your furry friend at home for this one.
- The hike starts in Eldorado Canyon State Park, which does charge an entrance fee ($10 per vehicle). If you have the Keep Colorado Wild Pass on your vehicle registration, that gets you in for free.
- For anyone who wants to carpool, let's meet at the Eldorado Canyon Park and Ride at 8:40 am.
- We'll likely encounter wintery conditions on the trails, so please bring microspikes! The Wine Hiking Society has some great resources on how to dress and pack for winter hikes: their 10 packing essentials and their day hike packing list.
- Per the lists above, you are responsible for bringing your own water and snacks.
