Make & Mix at the Market
Our most requested girls’ night out is finally here.
Our most requested girls’ night out is finally here.
Make & Mix at the Market is an indulgent Friday night created to celebrate Women’s Month. It’s equal parts creative, social, and just a little bit luxurious.
We’re taking over Southern Market’s stunning Willow Room for an evening of music, cupcakes, crafts, cocktails, and a trinket trading table that adds a little nostalgia and surprise to the night.
This isn’t a structured networking event, and it’s not a sit-down workshop.
It’s a thoughtfully designed space where your hands are busy, the pressure is off, and conversation happens naturally. Paint, sculpt, sip something good, wander for another bite, switch seats halfway through, or settle into one great conversation and stay there.
You’ll leave with a few small treasures, new connections, and the kind of Friday night that feels good the next morning.
Remember, our last event sold out a full week in advance, and capacity in the Willow Room is limited.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
✨ A Full Arts & Craft Bar: Painting, mini canvases, ceramics, air-dry clay, and a few fun surprise options. Bring your own project if you’d like.🧁 Dessert from Lancaster Cupcake Co
🎶 The Atmosphere: Great music, a cozy private space
💍 A Trinket Trading Table: Bring something small. Take something new home. Leftovers donated to charity.
🍷 Full access to Southern Market’s food + drink vendors.
💜 A safe, inclusive space — always LGBTQIA+ friendly.
WHERE AND WHEN:
📍 Southern Market | Willow Room
Friday, March 27th - 6:30 PM - 9:30 PM
$40 Early Bird (through March 16th) | $50 standard
Limited capacity. All ticket sales are final. Sales close March 23rd to allow adequate planning time. -
Centering Women: Virtual Peer Group
Description goes here
Centering Women: Peer Circle
A Virtual Guided Discussion for Women’s MonthThere’s a lot expected of women. This circle is about what you expect for yourself.
Join us for a guided virtual peer conversation designed to help you pause, reflect, and reconnect with what centering yourself actually looks like in your real, everyday life.
What This Is
This is a facilitated, thoughtful discussion with other women who understand the weight and complexity of this moment.
We’ll begin with a short reflection prompt, then open the space for conversation. You can share openly, listen quietly, or participate through audio, video, or chat. However you show up is welcome.
There’s no pressure to perform. No expectation to have the “right” answer. Just honest conversation.
What We’ll Explore
• How we’ve been conditioned to put ourselves last
• What centering yourself looks like in practice, not theory
• Boundaries, ambition, rest, and self-trust
• How to build a life that doesn’t require self-abandonmentThis isn’t just about venting. It’s about connecting, gaining perspective, and walking away clearer and more grounded.
There’s something powerful about commiserating and strategizing in the same breath. Being in conversation with other thoughtful women can shift how you see your own choices, energy, and priorities.
Why It Matters
Women live longer, healthier, and happier lives when we’re connected to a strong community. And yet we’re often too busy carrying everything to slow down and build it.
Take some time this women’s month to process and brainstorm.

March Scream Club
Tues 3.17.26 @ 7:00 PM - 1 HR
Why scream into a pillow when you can scream with a sisterhood?
Join us March 17th, Tuesday at 7 PM for Women of Lancaster’s next Scream Club — a guided, grounding, and surprisingly joyful way to release stress and connect with other women in the community.
All women over age 21 welcome.
What to expect:
Bring your yoga mat and settle in as we start with a brief intention-setting moment, writing down what you’re ready to leave behind as we step into the new year.
From there, we’ll move into light stretching and breath work led by Akua, a certified yoga and pole instructor with hundreds of hours of experience. Akua’s approach is grounded in making everyone feel safe and supported.
Then comes the scream sesh as we all collectively let go. Afterward, we’ll ease into relaxed social time, sharing what we’re looking forward to in the year ahead and getting to know one another in a low-pressure, no-small-talk-required way.
We’ll close on a note of positivity and reflection, grounding the experience in what matters most: women who release stress and build meaningful friendships tend to live longer, healthier lives and this is one small, powerful step in that direction. Come as you are. Leave lighter. Meet new friends.
What to Bring:
A yoga mat or sitting blanket and water.
Please Note:
All tickets are non-refundable. A minimum attendance of 10 must be reached, otherwise tickets will be refunded.Accessibility is unfortunately limited at this location as the venue is upstairs. If you’d still like to attend, please reach out to inquire about virtual attendance options.
lET’S DO GREAT THINGS TOGETHER
Women of Lancaster was created with one simple belief at its core: women thrive in community. We’re here to build friendships, support systems, personal growth and a sense of belonging.
Our group (and events) are built around these values
Community.
A place to show up as you are, meet new people, and build real relationships without pressure.
Sisterhood.
Whether you’re new to the area, rediscovering Lancaster, or looking to expand your circle, you deserve a space where you feel seen, supported, and connected.
Inclusivity.
We welcome women from all walks of life, including trans women and femme-aligned nonbinary folks. Everyone deserves a comfortable, affirming community.
Our events focus on fun, creativity, exploration, and community — with alcohol completely optional.
Ease and Comfort.
Our events are designed to feel intentional and manageable, not overwhelming. You’ll never have to stand in a packed room trying to figure out who to talk to. We create experiences that with a natural flow.
Here, connection matters more than perfection.

Women with a strong social circle by age 60, are more likely to live to 85 years and older.

Hi, my name is Gin. As a woman standing close to forty, I understand more than ever how vital community and sisterhood are to our wellbeing. Women thrive when we are connected and seen.
As a full-time content marketer, I also recognize how overwhelming today’s pace can feel. Not everyone wants to walk into high-pressure, open-ended networking events. My goal is to create meaningful, well-organized experiences that feel comfortable, intentional, and welcoming for women from all walks of life, with all sorts of interests.
Thank you for being here and helping strengthen this community. A participatory community is a strong community. I am a Texas native who has fallen in love with Lancaster, and I believe this city deserves a vibrant social group that highlights everything it has to offer.
We welcome all women over age 21 to attend our events, and have members in our Facebook group as old as their seventies!
Women showing up for themselves and each other
Community isn’t a luxury; it’s a lifeline, and in this day and age, it’s more important than ever.
Ever had a thought like this?
What’s going on around town? Where do I meet people? How do I make friends? I want to go out with my girlfriends. I want to have a best friend. I’m lonely.
It’s a super common question and Women of Lancaster social club was made as an answer to that very dilemma.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is a really special place, and it’s seeing an influx of people moving in. Whether you’ve lived here forever or you’ve just relocated, having a strong social circle is important.
And the best part? Our communities are stronger when we build connections, friendships, and lift each other up.
The best part? Having fun while doing it.
