Women's Forum organizes women’s groups so women can connect deeply, share life experiences, and support each other's growth. Chapters in Seattle, Aspen, and Naples, Florida.
Women today are busier and more digitally connected than ever, but many of us are lonelier than ever. We have careers, families, friendships, and full calendars. What many of us don't have is a space where we can be authentically ourselves.
A Women’s Forum group changes that. It’s not a book club or a networking event. It’s a trusted circle of women who know you and your real life; who hold your confidences, challenge your thinking, and show up for a unique group relationship that grows over time.
Women’s Forum has been building groups for more than a decade. We provide the structure, support, and materials for every group to be successful.
Today more than ever, women need community to share work, family, and personal experiences in an atmosphere of trust, confidentiality, and mutual support.
The experience is so profound that we believe every woman deserves access to a women’s group at least once in her life.
How Women’s Forum Works
Women's Forum is a nonprofit membership organization that creates small, carefully matched groups of women who meet monthly in a spirit of trust, inspiration, and mutual support. Here's what the journey looks like, from your initial interest to your first meeting.
1) Tell us about yourself
Fill out a short application using the button at the bottom of this page. You'll share a little about where you are in life, what you're looking for, and which chapter interests you. There's no commitment. This is just a conversation starter.
2) We reach out to you
Someone from Women’s Forum will reach out personally to get to know you, learn what’s drawing you here, and answer any questions you may have. Together, we’ll explore whether this feels like the right next step.
3) You're invited to participate
We invite you to help bring a Women’s Forum group to life in your community. You won’t be doing this alone. We partner with you to thoughtfully shape the group, identify aligned members, and provide the guidance, tools, and support to get started. The group begins with women like you.
4) Show up and grow together
Groups meet once a month for 2-3 hours. We offer structure, focus, and provocative questions for a meaningful discussion and takeaway. The commitment is to each other, and what you put in comes back to you many times over.

The Women’s Forum Experience
Finding Your Group
The right group changes everything.
That’s why we don’t rush the process.
We ask you to complete a short application so we can get to know you—where you are in life, what matters to you, and the kind of connection you’re seeking. Every Women’s Forum group is formed with care. We bring together women in similar seasons of life, who live near one another, and who are drawn to the same level of depth and conversation. We keep groups intentionally small, because real connection needs room to be heard, to be known, and to grow. When a group fits well, something powerful happens: it becomes a space of trust, continuity, and genuine belonging. A group that fits well becomes a group that lasts.
Leading Together
Women’s Forum groups are peer-led, so no one is in charge, and everyone is involved in a constructive way.
What makes Women’s Forum unique is that you’re operating within a proven framework. Behind each group is a dedicated facilitator network, bi-monthly connection calls, and a growing library of resources to support you along the way. Each gathering is guided by topics to open a doorway into deeper self-understanding and authentic connection. These conversations become a way of discovering more about yourself and each other. And over time, something unexpected happens: leading together becomes a dynamic and life-changing experience.
Showing Up For Each Other
Groups meet once a month in person for 2-3 hours, unhurried, fully present. It sounds simple, and it is, but the consistency is the point. When women commit to showing up for each other, something shifts. There's something quietly powerful about a group of women who have agreed to be there for each other as a counterbalance to our busy lives. You leave feeling heard. You leave feeling seen. You experience the emotional payoff of being helpful to someone else. Over time, you stop thinking of it as a commitment you made and start thinking of it as something you value and would never give up.
What Becomes Possible
Every Women's Forum group begins as a relationship, and with the right intention, it becomes an experience that changes you. When women invest genuinely in each other's growth, trust builds in an ineffable way. Conversations go deeper. Honesty comes more easily. The version of yourself you've been curating for the rest of the world gets a rest. Safety, it turns out, is its own kind of freedom. When you know you are held by a group of women who truly care about you and are rooting for you, you stop needing to hide. You relax into yourself. And that is where real growth begins.
