Fall Circles 2026
Find Your Circle This Fall
Small, welcoming groups where women connect over shared interests: learning, creating, walking, or reading together.
Fall Circles begin the week of October 18
What are Fall Circles?
Fall Circles are small gatherings of women who meet weekly for six weeks, in groups with a shared focus. Some Circles are group learning, where each participant prepares a short idea to share. Others include visual art and writing workshops, book discussions and outdoor experiences.
Each circle is a chance to grow and connect in the company of thoughtful women.
If a Circle will not add to your cart, that means it has reached capacity. Please join the waiting list on the bottom of the page. We will do our best to accommodate everyone, and will contact you if a space becomes available or if an additional group can be formed.
