What we’re about
If you are looking to dine out, go to comedy shows, live music events, festivals, farmers markets, regular hikes with and without dogs, explore parks and museums, while expanding your social circle and making friends, this group is for you.
Our focus is mostly Marin County and San Francisco, but will also include events in surrounding counties.
We are a mix of newcomers to Marin, women starting a new life chapter, and women who have lived in the area a long time.
We will try to make events for larger groups so everyone that wants to attend gets a chance!
If you have a good idea for an event - either a one time or regular activity, please contact me. It will take many hosts to make this group fun and interesting with diverse activities. I hope that you will meet new friends with women that share similar interests and interesting women that also want to see more of what this beautiful area has to offer and attend events that just aren’t quite as fun attending alone.
*Please make sure to have a photo of yourself to your profile.
*New hosts must attend at least one event to be verified.
*Remember that you are responsible for your own comfort and safety.
*Please add your input on fun ideas to the message board thread!

See all- Full Moon Gratitude Ceremony and Shamanic ClassChristine’s House, Corte Madera, CAUSD 10.00
Welcome back! After our summer pause, I’m so delighted to be back in circle with you.
Every full moon is an exceptional opportunity to express gratitude for all that was, is, will be. One way to do this is by creating a beautiful mandala, called a despacho in Peruvian shamanism.
A despacho is a lovely way to express thanks for all that is, was, will be. When we honor sacred reciprocity, we open our energy field and drop into more alignment with the natural world, more internal peace, more lasting foundational joy, and more clarity on divine guidance.
We will layer items from the natural world like flowers, leaves, shells, feathers, into a beautiful pattern and then burn it, offering our hopes, dreams and blessings for the greatest good of all.
*** Note: I’ve decided to charge a $10 fee to defray costs and eliminate no shows. Prior to the event please pay using the Venmo link or Zelle info to RSVP and secure your spot:
https://account.venmo.com/u/ChristineComaford
or via Zelle at CC@SmartTribesInstitute.comPlease write in the payment notes what you will bring for the potluck.
A potluck dinner will follow the ceremony. We will gather at 5pm, then hold the ceremony and training, burn the despacho, and have a potluck feast! I will provide a yummy salad bar, bring what inspires you. Your intuition will tell you what is needed.
Come as you are, bring offerings of:
Animal products (shells, feathers, fur, etc)
Plant products
Stones, gravel
Incense
Flowers
All offerings need to be smallish (the size of your thumb or so) and remember you won’t get them back. We will put them in the despacho that we will burn.***Again to RSVP, pay via Venmo or Zelle. ***
Looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

- Live Well Gathering: Explore Your Sacred LifeBy The Bay Health, Larkspur, CA
Welcome back! After our summer pause, I’m so delighted to be back in circle with you.
Come join us for a warm, welcoming, life-affirming gathering where we explore the sacredness of being human. The gathering is modeled off of the death café model which was invented in London in 2011 as a way for people to come together and share their reflections on life and explorations of death.
This is a gently moderated gathering, with no advice given, no judgment, all are given a chance to speak. You will leave with a heart full of love for the human experience.
Many people say that by attending a Death Café they find greater vibrancy, peace, joy, wonder in their daily lives.
RSVP today and bring a guest.
Snacks are served.We will be in the large conference room, please follow the EOLPeace signs.
Feel free to reach out with any questions. All are welcome.

- Birthday Party and Live Music at Bally KealHopmonk Tavern, Novato, CA
🎉 Let’s party! 🎉
NOTE: The event location and time has been changed. We were going to meet at Lighthouse at 7 pm, but the birthday girls have voted to try the live music and food truck event at the winery Bally Keal. If you would like to join us you can get ticket ahead of time for $25 or at the door for $35. We will be carpooling from Novato and meet at the parking lot area near Hopmonk at 3:15-3:30 pm.Join us as we celebrate our fabulous friends Jenny and Donna, who are leveling up in style this year! And if your birthday falls in August or September, consider this your official excuse to claim cake and attention. Whether it’s your birthday or you just love a good party—come raise a glass, make a wish, and dance like no one’s checking your birth year.
There will be a live band - The Cheeseballs playing from 5-8pm.
This is a beautiful event center with a large dance area but it can fill up quickly and the food trucks start and doors open at 4 pm, so we are trying to get there early. If there are several people who are going to be running behind, we can consider a second carpool group or you can just meet us there.Parking is not an issue.
No pets allowed.
No outside food allowed.If anyone can't attend this event but still wants to attend the Lighthouse event, let me know and I will make you the event host and repost.
