Climbing Groups For Women

ACTIVE WOMEN Photo Shoot!!!

Please humor me. I think this is going to be SOOO much fun! I'd like to get a new pic for our home page on meetup that depicts what we are really about. With FUN being a huge part of that. Still dreaming this and probably will be until the camera clicks but thinking we'll meet a Highbanks. I'll bring big sheets of paper that we can write the letters A C T - you know the rest. We'll make these letters fancy! We will need at least 11 women if we only do the letters and 12 with the 55+. But the really fun part is the props. We're just getting started but I'd like y'all to bring whatever props you can think of that depict activities that we've done - or hope to do. This means bicycles, hiking boots, decks of cards, board games, if someone can bring their dog that would be cool. A paddle board or kayak (I'm imagining a kayak in the front of the group with a woman rowing :). Trying to convince Linda J. to bring one of the APES from the sanctuary :). I've ordered a blow up calf - need a baby bottle to feed it. . . what could we have that would represent recycling or trash? We like to eat out so a plate of food? Mug of beer? Coffee? Bouquets of flowers for the Conservatory etc.? Hoes for conservation work? If you have markers or paints that would be awesome. What else? I hope you think this will be as fun as I do . . . so many fun and creative women in this group! Please list any props you're willing to bring in the comments :). Oh, and we'll walk for maybe 3 miles afterward and then have an optional lunch.

NOTE NEW DATE!!! Old Beechwold; What You Don't Know May Surprise You

On this tour we'll enjoy a 2.5 miles stroll through beautiful Old Beechwold. We'll learn about its unique origin, discuss its transformations through time, and witness its hidden gems. Due to the lack of any sidewalks and the narrow, winding roads here the tour size is limited. If you have weak knees or balance issues please bring a hiking pole or two as we may go "off trail" for a bit of our tour, depending on interest. We can discuss lunch options afterward for those folks who would like to go to lunch nearby. I will cancel this tour in the event of likely rain.

Evolve Elevate (Virtual)

Evolve is all about creating an Authentic Community, Deeper Connections, and Confident Growth. We are a group of entrepreneurial women who connect personally and professionally. We welcome every guest to experience our authentic community with no cliques and no judgment. Come as you are! There's a seat waiting for you. Elevate is an action-oriented connection experience designed to help women entrepreneurs move beyond surface-level networking and into meaningful growth, collaboration, and courageous action. Each session centers around a focused business or personal development topic, followed by intentional breakout discussions that encourage deeper conversations, real relationship-building, and practical next steps. Unlike traditional networking events, Elevate is designed to create momentum. Women are encouraged not only to share ideas, but to actively support one another through accountability, collaboration, brainstorming, and action-based growth. Every meeting is an opportunity to build authentic connections, gain fresh perspective, and leave with a clear action step to implement before the next session. This is a space where women rise together — not through competition or hustle culture, but through encouragement, courage, consistency, and intentional community. \*\*Evolve Women's Collective is a membership based professional women's group.
