This is a group for women in the Torrington area to get together and develop platonic friendships. We will participate in local community events, dine in local restaurants, meetup for morning coffee or evening drinks, go for walks on local trails. The group is suited for married or single women.

Our meetup group schedules hikes regularly for both the advanced hiker looking for long and strenuous workouts as well as the less serious hiker looking for shorter and more moderate walks. We hike all the trails and preserves in the Litchfield County area and often venture into New York and Massachusetts. Our focus is on exercise, making friends, and appreciating nature. We usually follow each hike with a social gathering at a local eatery.

This group is unique in that there is strong emphasis on learning about the diverse flora and fauna of Connecticut's wooded habitats and its ecology. I recently completed the DEEP/Goodwin Forest Master Naturalist program and love sharing the things I find exciting about the areas we explore. I am also really interested in CT history. When I'm not leading hikes for Litchfield County Explorers, I guide hikes professionally for the Mayflower Inn in Washington, CT and internationally for Connecticut Audubon Society EcoTravel. I am certified as an AMC hike leader and in wilderness first aid from the National Outdoor Leadership School.

Please join us!

If you're tired of literally twiddling your thumbs on social media and Netflix, here is a relatively safe outdoor/online group for those near Waterbury, CT! This is the place to learn how to be self-sufficient by growing your own tasty, self-sustaining garden and saving the world while you're at it! Fellow hippies and science lovers, if you are interested in meditation, yoga, or wellness, here you can meet your own kind.

Cheapscates and couch potatoes, are you tired of lawn work? Why not replace the parched wasteland with edible plants that maintain themselves?! No pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, or any chemical inputs are required when the soil and plants are made healthy. Even weeding and replanting are hardly necessary! Don't believe me - just watch! There are demonstration sites in the area we can visit that practice edible landscaping and also plenty of online videos we can discuss. Grooving to Uptown Funk is also a possibility.

Edible landscaping is a down-to-earth (literally) way to exercise, have fun with your family, connect with nature, restore the environment, save time and money going grocery shopping, and eat local, nutritious, organic, FREE food. You could even have a side gig by selling your extra food!

This is the group for anyone interested in solving large-scale societal, personal, and environmental problems on their own property with people they actually know (not distant, orange big-wigs who are just in it for the money)! Permaculture is a self-sufficient lifestyle and design philosophy centered around Earth care, people care, and fair share.

Whether you are familiar or not with permaculture, you will become aware of its practices, ranging from cohousing, cotransportation, renewable energy, local manufacturing, zero waste, mindfulness, alternative therapies/medicine, and of course, edible landscaping. Prepare to have your life turned upside down - the grass (Er, I mean edible landscape) is greener on the other side!
