What we’re about
Welcome! I'm so glad you found us... Welcome to our community. Our group is alive and well and growing by leaps and bounds. We host both online and live events, mostly but not exclusively in the Orange County area.
As of 2022, I am leading transformational groups to Greece in September and once in Costa Rica in June. Please check out my travel website at lesbiangetaways.com for trip info. I would love it if you joined the mailing list. This separates out our special announcements from all the other meetup emails which can be overwhelming at times. The occasional emails will come from Lesbian Getaways.
I have been so touched by the intimacy and connections that are being created ongoingly through our group interactions. Lots of close friendships and circles have been made and yes, even some romance! I try to mix it up and keep it interesting and I’m always open to new ideas and feedback. My commitment to every member is that there are no "outsiders" and all folks that identify as a woman loving women are welcome. I believe that the experience of feeling welcome and included is palpable in our group events whether live or on Zoom.
For FB users, please follow us (facebook.com/somanywomensolittletime/). If you would like to be part of our secret FB group or our So Cal Lesbian Pickleballers group, please email me at lesbiangetaways@gmail.com and let me know. Once in, you can invite your friends directly from there.
I ask that you please set your notifications at minimum to receive organizer messages and new event announcements. This has to be done while actually on our group site. You can find the settings by clicking on your round profile photo on the top right corner and select email and notifications.
I am so looking forward to meeting you whether it be online or in person when that time comes.
With Enthusiasm,
Your organizer, Jody
Time to dance again and again and again! We'll have some fun, interactive intro activities plus the Wild Wild West dance at 7:30 as we have been doing each time to make it easy to meet one another and start the night out with laughter and camaraderie. The DJ starts at 8pm. We've got the room until midnight.
If you want a headstart to the evening, join us for a delicious dinner downstairs on the patio first and then you can wander upstairs for some fun.

We are hosting at our home and would love for you to come if you are interested in establishing meaningful friendships by having sincere conversations. You will make new friends and possibly walk out with some dating opportunities if that is what you are interested in. This event, more than any other, provides that kind of opportunity. Keep in mind that singles and couples are very welcome.

Arrival: 1:30-2:45- Come early to relax, swim and start meeting women
CIRCLES: 3-5- Please do not arrive after 2:45
Dinner: 5-6
Play time: 6-8PURCHASE YOUR TICKET HERE - An RSVP here on meetup will not get you in. *SPACE IS LIMITED TO 30*You must purchase your ticket online using the link in order for your RSVP to be included in the 30. I will have a list so you do not need to print it.
***If the $25 entrance is a show stopper for you, please text me at (707) 484-2066 and I will cover your meal. No problem. I don't want money to be a reason for anyone not to attend.
After CIRCLES is complete, we will enjoy our delicious Mediteranean catered dinner and continue getting to know one another. There are plenty of ways to enjoy our time including ping pong, hot tub, foosball and enjoying the sunset together lounging in the treehouse on the top of the hillside.
I would encourage you to come, even if you don't know anyone. The point of this day is to connect and we will make it easy for you to do just that. When I say it is a great way to make new friends, I really mean it.
WHAT IS CIRCLES?
This is an event I lead at the International Women's Festival in Greece twice each year because it catalyzes so many new connections. We will sit in groups of five and I will ask a thought provoking question. Each person will have a few minutes to respond at any level you are comfortable with, while everyone else listens with a non-judgemental, open heart. An example of my favorite question is "share an accomplishment or experience that you are proud of". I am always amazed at how much I learn about people just from this one response.Afterwards, there are a few minutes to continue the conversation. Then, we will form new circles with new women and do it all over again with a new question. By the end of the day, you will most likely have gotten to connect with every woman.
**I will provide some bubbly waters, soda and ice tea. There will be an ice chest available if you want to bring something different.
$25 fee covers dinner and non-alcoholic beverages. I will be ordering in delicious Mediterranean food consisting of fresh salad, falafel, chicken, beef, grilled veggies and other fresh toppings! I will need you to pay when you RSVP to ensure we don't have a lot of last minute cancellations (after I've ordered the food). Your reservation is non-refundable after September 27th. There is a very small service fee on top that meetup takes. Sorry.
I would highly recommend bringing your swim suit and a towel in case you want to stay and get wet! The hot tub will be on after dinner and it usually ends up to be the poplular spot after dark.
Again, if there is a waiting list, PLEASE JOIN IT. I may let more people in once the time gets closer and it is possible that someone may cancel. In both cases, you may be able to come afterall!
***Be sure to park outside the cul-du-sac to keep my neighbors happy (don't double and triple park in our driveway or block anyone else's driveways. Yes, it has happened!) Please enter through the side gate to the right of the house.
The address will show up when you purchase your ticket. If you have any questions, please text me at (707) 484-2066.
See you here!

It was so fun last time that we are doing it again! This time, West Coast Swing! There was a fantastic turnout for Country 2-Step class and by popular demand, a next class is here for us.
WATCH TWO WOMEN DANCING WEST COAST SWING!
The six week series costs $120 and you must pay for the entire series up front. If you miss a class, sorry. There will be a video at the end of each class and we can send it to you so you can make up the new moves and be ready for the following class.
Sometimes, we go out to dinner afterwards as well.
Join us to make some new friend & make some contact by partner dancing!
PLEASE, ONLY RSVP IF YOU ALREADY PURCHASED YOUR TICKETS OR PLAN TO RIGHT NOW! Entrance to the first class will be taken from the list of purchased tickets.
PLEASE NOTE: This class is on Thursday nights- Please arrive for the first class at 6pm and try not to be late! It can be hard to find the ballroom for the first time. It is facing RED HILL.
