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 brand consultant, writer and artist. 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!

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 community.
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 trans women and femme-aligned nonbinary folks. Everyone deserves a comfortable, affirming community.
Safety and Advocacy.
We believe women deserve to feel safe — in their communities, in their bodies, and in their rights. WoL stands firmly in support of women's safety and autonomy and we are not quiet about it.
Anti-Racism and Diversity.
We believe in the active pursuit of anti-racism and the beauty of a diverse community.
Real Connection.
Making friends as an adult is hard. That's why every WoL event is connection centered by design. We intuitively take the guesswork out of meeting people so you can just show up and let it happen.
Anti-Awkward. Anti-Small Talk.
No awkward networking. Our events are built with intentionality so that connection feels easy and natural.
Our events focus on fun, creativity, exploration, and community, with alcohol completely optional. We welcome all women 21 and up. Yes, including middle age up and up!
At Women of Lancaster we don’t ride the fence. We want you to feel safe, welcome and know exactly where we stand. (And we do stand on business.)
We also know what makes our events special. Having a professional brand consultant working with a tight-knit organizing circle helps us move intentionally.
We strive to take the guess work out of events so each event allows you to be in the moment.
We want to see women win.
All of the statistics show that women are happier, healthier, powerful, better paid and live longer when they have strong communities.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania is a unique walkable, historic community where women can thrive. We want to be part of that gem of a city.
Our differentiating factor is that we’re centered on connection.
We’re not here to beautify you, suppress your anger, or sell you knick-knacks. Everything we do is centered around women helping women, real growth and connection.
The Women helping women philosophy we live by
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 the Women of Lancaster social club and events were 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.
