Find Your Circle This Fall
Small, welcoming groups where women connect over shared interests learning, creating, walking, or reading together.

What are Fall Circles?
Fall Circles are small gatherings of women who meet weekly or bi-weekly around a shared focus. Some are group learning, where each participant prepares a short idea to share. Others are creative art and writing workshops, book discussions, outdoor experiences, or cooking demos. Each circle is a chance to grow and connect in the company of thoughtful women.
Circles begin after Yom Tov, the week of October 26
