Come for friends.
Find sisters.
The Ladies Social Group is the community heart of Divine Feminine Leaders® — real, in-person gatherings in Essex Junction, Vermont, for women who want friendship that goes deeper than small talk.
Because making friends as an adult is hard
Maybe you’ve relocated. Maybe divorce or empty nesting redrew your daily life. Maybe your circle is lovely — but you’re ready for deeper.
Celeste built this group after five major relocations of her own, each one starting over with little to no support system. It has become exactly what she needed back then: a safe, warm, genuinely inclusive room where women of every age and stage actually get to know each other.

What a month looks like
Two anchors return every month — and the calendar fills in around them with seasonal gatherings.
Every MonthBook Club for Curious Women
The easiest book club you’ll ever join: one or two chapters a month — never a whole book — and honest, real conversation when we gather. Vegas rules apply: what’s shared in book club stays in book club.
Crafting in Community
Coloring, knitting, scrapbooking, or that project you keep meaning to finish — brought to a table of easy-going company. Everything is more fun with friends.
Seasonal Clothing Swaps
Refresh your closet, clear your shelves, and go home with something new-to-you. The most fun recycling there is.
Potlucks & Gatherings
Good food, long tables, and the kind of unhurried conversation friendships are actually built on.
Workshops
Learning together — creativity, wellbeing, and life’s what-comes-next questions, explored in good company.
Come to what feels good. Leave the rest.
Nervous about your first event? That’s normal.
Walking into a room of new people takes courage — and you don’t have to do it cold. Come a few minutes early, or book a private hello with Celeste first: a short call to feel out whether this is your place. It usually is.
The group runs on donations — come as you are, give what feels right.
There’s a seat for you
Whatever stage of life you’re in, you’re welcome here — alongside 380 women who remember exactly what walking in for the first time felt like.
