On a practical level, this Portland social group is for lesbian/queer and queer-friendly women who have vitality and a strong sense of self. I say "practical" because I realize that most people use meetup casually, to meet others and find things to do from time to time. But ideally, I'd like to manifest a village of warriors. To me, a true warrior of modern times is a strong woman who has a healthy relationship with power. She speaks her truth, walks her own path, lives by her chosen principles …

The goal of this group is to explore and experience the unique culture of Portland and the northwest. Think of it as tourism for locals.

I host at least 20 events on the calendar per month. Most of the events are done on foot, but some are simply showing up at a particular destination for fun. Events include: Dining and entertainment walks (highli …

We attended our first meetup two weeks later, a second one the day after. From those meet ups , we met 6 fabulous men and close to a dozen fantastic women. People from all different careers with an age range …
