I enjoy reading, and honestly, I need to make more friends in Portland.  (Really, who doesn't? Couldn't we all use more friends? and books to read? Anyway...) My plan for this group is to host one meet-up a month where we will get together to discuss that month's book, and enjoy some food.  The first couple will probably be held at a public venue, but I am hopeful to host out of my apartment after I get settled a bit in this role as group leader.  I will post other activities as meetups during t …

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 principle instead of c …

I moved to Portland almost a year ago with my partner. We only knew her cousin and no one else. Needless to say, our social meter was definitely in the red a few months later: ( I struck up a conversation with a woman on a bus, mentioned I didn't know anyone and she suggested joining meetup. 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 …

I'm a hostess, promoter, coordinator, and matchmaker by nature. Since moving to Portland, I decided to make my joy my job, which is networking people and making beneficial bonds.
