Friendships develop through repeated opportunities to spend time together. For six weeks, the same group of women will enjoy relaxed conversation, shared activities, laughter, and opportunities to discover common interests and form new connections.
This is more than a series of social gatherings. Each group is led by an expert social coach who understands how friendships develop and how to help a group move beyond introductions and surface-level conversation.
Throughout each gathering, your coach will provide just the right amount of structure and guidance to help conversations flow, encourage connections as they develop, and help the group build real momentum toward friendship.
The coaching is woven naturally into the experience, so you can enjoy the gathering while receiving support in the moments when it is most useful.
In person location is at 1 Industrial Way, Unit 4 n Tyngsboro.
What the Six Weeks Look Like
Week 1: Cozy Crafts & Low-Pressure Mingling
Settle into our warmly-lit sanctuary, grab a refreshment, and relax. We’ll break the ice effortlessly with a beautiful diamond-art mandala coaster project (all premium supplies provided!). It’s the perfect, active way to start chatting without any forced first-night awkwardness.
Week 2: Game Night & Common Ground
A completely casual, laughter-filled evening featuring lighthearted trivia and tailored group prompts. As an expert social coach, I design these activities to do the heavy lifting for you, making it completely seamless to discover shared interests and connect with new friends instantly.
Week 3: Deepening the Connection
Skip the superficial small talk about the weather or traffic. Tonight is a relaxed, couch-side conversation where we explore how adult women successfully navigate modern friendships. Leave feeling heard, validated, and deeply understood.
Week 4: From Casual Acquaintances to True Friends
Discover the natural, stress-free secrets to turning a casual meetup into a lasting connection. In-person, we'll play Mexican Train Dominoes together. Online, we’ll connect over a fun, interactive guessing game.
Week 5: Navigating Social Confidence & Mocktails
Enjoy a specialty seasonal mocktail while we chat openly about the real-world stuff: overcoming adult social anxiety, setting healthy boundaries, and feeling truly confident in your social skin. (Online members will receive a fun, simple mocktail ingredient recipe ahead of time!).
Week 6: Keeping the Spark Alive
A celebration night entirely shaped by the group's choice! We’ll enjoy a final evening of fun while putting together a simple, concrete plan for how everyone can easily follow up, schedule future coffee dates, and keep these beautiful new friendships growing.
Weekly topics and activities are subject to change.
Simply Social Connect™ is designed for women age 35 and older who would like more friendship and social connection in their lives.
You may have experienced changes in your family, work, relationships, or community. You may have moved, lost touch with friends, or realized that your social circle has become smaller over time. You may simply be ready to meet new people and make more room for friendship in your life.
Simply Social Connect™ gives you a comfortable and welcoming place to meet other women who are looking for connection too.
