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

Whether you love to lead or follow, this class is for you if you enjoy the interaction and connection of partner dancing and love to learn.There will be opportunities to showcase our moves at our own group dance nights and other community events.

Best, Debra - Intro Zoom Meeting for "Soul of the Nile" Riverboat Cruise in 2026Link visible for attendees
Come and discover the mysteries of Egypt with us! Imagine an all women group, floating down the Nile and traipsing through this ancient land with me, and my new friend, Kathia who has been leading groups to Egypt for 9 years and who is also an amazing holistic doctor, priestess and sound healer. We will also be accompanied by an Egyptologist (did you know there was such a thing?).
I know. It is a bit hard to visualize. Together, we will lead you on an amazing journey to this ancient, enchanted and mystical land. We will not just learn about all the stuff you usually learn on international tours, but we will EXPERIENCE the MAGIC of Egypt. That's very different. Imagine, trekking in to a pyramid and participating in an actual experience....to feel the energy. The pyramids are one thing to see and another to feel...Which one will impact you most?? That is my question. The answer is to be discovered.
This is an experiential journey. Come and join us for this introductory zoom meeting to meet Kathia and learn about what we intend for this once in a lifetime experience. Yes, we will learn about Egyptian culture and history... just like everyone else does who tours Egypt. HOWEVER, there will be more.
Ask your questions. Discover some answers. Indulge your curiousity (I made that up-not chatGPT by the way!). Decide whether this journey is right for you. You are welcome to join if you are simply curious. No obligation at all. Join us for a fun and informative evening.
My main motivation for this adventure is to travel with Kathia, who is amazing, and engage with the mysteries of Egypt.
