What we’re about
Welcome! I'm so glad you found us... Welcome to our community. Our group is alive and well and growing by leaps and bounds. We host both online and live events, mostly but not exclusively in the Orange County area.
As of 2022, I am leading transformational groups to Greece in September and once in Costa Rica in June. Please check out my travel website at lesbiangetaways.com for trip info. I would love it if you joined the mailing list. This separates out our special announcements from all the other meetup emails which can be overwhelming at times. The occasional emails will come from Lesbian Getaways.
I have been so touched by the intimacy and connections that are being created ongoingly through our group interactions. Lots of close friendships and circles have been made and yes, even some romance! I try to mix it up and keep it interesting and I’m always open to new ideas and feedback. My commitment to every member is that there are no "outsiders" and all folks that identify as a woman loving women are welcome. I believe that the experience of feeling welcome and included is palpable in our group events whether live or on Zoom.
For FB users, please follow us (facebook.com/somanywomensolittletime/). If you would like to be part of our secret FB group or our So Cal Lesbian Pickleballers group, please email me at lesbiangetaways@gmail.com and let me know. Once in, you can invite your friends directly from there.
I ask that you please set your notifications at minimum to receive organizer messages and new event announcements. This has to be done while actually on our group site. You can find the settings by clicking on your round profile photo on the top right corner and select email and notifications.
I am so looking forward to meeting you whether it be online or in person when that time comes.
With Enthusiasm,
Your organizer, Jody

CIRCLES- Small group sharing circles with dinner afterwards!
Private Mission Viejo Residence, 123 Fun St, Mission Viejo, CA, USPlease call me if you have not found the address on your ticket!
707-484-2066Are you longing for more meaningful interactions, closer friendships and authentic conversations? If so, please JOIN US! I am inviting you to a special day of relaxation and connection with my favorite event called CIRCLES.
We are hosting at our home and would love for you to come. You will make new friends and may even walk out with some dating opportunities if that is what you are interested in. This event, more than any other, provides that kind of opportunity. Keep in mind that singles and couples are very welcome.
I would encourage you to come, even if you don't know anyone. The point of this day is to connect and we will make it easy for you to do just that. When I say it is a great way to make new friends, I really mean it.
TICKETS - 2 options: PURCHASE YOUR TICKET HERE
You must have registered through the Lesbian Getaways website using the link below in order to join this event (whether you RSVPd here or not, sorry). Space is limited to 30. We now have a CIRCLES alone or CIRCLES plus dinner ticket. If you sign up with no dinner, you can enjoy a non-alcoholic drink but no food is included. You do not need to bring a printed ticket-I will have a list. The address will be on your ticket.The $25 dinner ticket includes non-alcoholic beverages plus delicious Mediterranean food consisting of fresh salad, falafel, chicken, beef, grilled veggies and other fresh toppings! Your reservation is non-refundable (fully transferrable) after October 25th. There is a very small service fee on top that meetup takes.
If we sell out and you really want to come, please call me Sunday at 11am in case there are any last minute cancellations.
IF YOU PLAN TO COME, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE DETAILS ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM!
Arrival: 2:30-2:45- Come early to start meeting women & grab a drink
CIRCLES: 3-5- Please arrive no later than 2:45
Dinner: 5-6
Play time: 6-7After CIRCLES is complete, we will enjoy our delicious Mediteranean catered dinner and continue getting to know one another. There are plenty of ways to enjoy our time including ping pong, hot tub, foosball and enjoying the sunset together lounging in the treehouse on the top of the hillside.
WHAT IS CIRCLES?
This is an event I lead at the International Women's Festival in Greece twice each year because it catalyzes so many new connections. We will sit in groups of five and I will ask a thought provoking question. Each person will have a few minutes to respond at any level you are comfortable with, while everyone else listens with a non-judgemental, open heart. An example of my favorite question is "share an accomplishment or experience that you are proud of". I am always amazed at how much I learn about people just from this one response.
Afterwards, there are a few minutes to continue the conversation. Then, we will form new circles with new women and do it all over again with a new question. By the end of the day, you will most likely have gotten to connect with every woman.**I will provide some bubbly waters, soda and ice tea. There will be an ice chest available if you want to bring something different.
I would highly recommend bringing your swim suit and a towel in case you want to stay and get wet! The hot tub will be on after dinner and it usually ends up to be the poplular spot after dark.
Again, if there is a waiting list, PLEASE JOIN IT. I may let more people in once the time gets closer and it is possible that someone may cancel. In both cases, you may be able to come afterall!
***Be sure to park outside the cul-du-sac to keep my neighbors happy (don't double and triple park in our driveway or block anyone else's driveways. Yes, it has happened!) Please enter through the side gate to the right of the house.
The address will show up when you purchase your ticket. If you have any questions or can not locate the address, please text me at (707) 484-2066.
See you here!
