We will not fade into the background. We are alive, vibrant, and sexy! If you are LGBTQIA, single, and love women 50 and over, this group is for you! Let’s move past anxiety and fear. Take a deep breath. Get out of your head and into your heart - that’s where connection with others is possible.This group will meet at Charis on the 3rd Saturday of each month from 3:00pm-4:30pm ET. Join us on Saturday, January 17th at 3:00pm EST!

This group is hosted by Sid Robinson. Sid is skilled at creating safe spaces that encourage folks to be authentic and connect. So dust off your favorite shoes - whether wingtips, stilettos, Vans, hiking boots, or sandals - and come as you are to make new friends!
