225 WOMEN AND GROWING EVERYDAY

Upcoming events

  • Scream Club

    Tues 1.27.26 @ 7:00 PM - 1 HR

    Why scream into a pillow when you can scream with a sisterhood?

    Join us Tuesday, January 27th for Women of Lancaster’s first 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 of what we're leaving behind in 2025. 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.

    Reserve your spot for $15

  • Galentine’s Day Speed Friending at Zoetropolis

    This will be your favorite Valentine's Day plan this year!

    Whether you’re celebrating Galentine’s, need a girls’ night out, or just craving more friendship, Women of Lancaster is hosting a Galentine’s Day Speed Friending Night at Zoetropolis — and it’s going to be so FUN.

    Come dressed cute, sip a specialty cocktail or mocktail, explore the delicious menu, and take part in guided speed friending rounds using fun conversation cards.

    You’ll rotate through short, easy conversations designed to help you meet new friends in a relaxed, no-pressure way.

    At the end of the night, you’ll mark who you’d love to connect with again. If it’s mutual, we’ll share contact details after the event so friendships can continue beyond the night. Plus, feel free to stay and socialize!

    Married, single - doesn't matter. This is about making friends! Come solo or bring a friend — either way, you’ll leave with new connections.

    All women 21+ welcome!

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.

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.

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 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.
