What is the Ginger Jar Society?

The Ginger Jar Society was born from a simple truth — we all need a place to belong. A place to be seen, to exhale, and to reconnect with who we are becoming.

This is a community for women in transition — empty nesters rediscovering themselves after years of giving, widows finding new rhythms of hope, women healing from illness or loss, and those navigating the quiet changes no one else may see. It’s for anyone craving a slower, more intentional way of living and longing to share that journey with others who understand.

Here, we heal, connect, and learn together — gently, intentionally, and always over something warm to sip and something simple to share. Each month, we gather for a Circle — an in-person or virtual meeting (often over tea) where conversation, creativity, and calm come together. These circles are not extravagant; they are beautifully human — grounded in presence, curiosity, and kindness.

Every gathering offers a new theme or experience designed to nourish both heart and home. We’ll explore slow living concepts, seasonal recipes, rituals for restoration, crafts and creative projects, medicinal herbs, organizing with intention, home décor, and gardening. These shared moments become a gentle rhythm through the seasons — a reminder that transformation doesn’t have to be loud to be powerful.

Right now, The Ginger Jar Society lives on Facebook, where you can join for free and connect with our growing community of women embracing the art of slow living. In February 2026, we’ll open our paid membership tier — a low-cost, high-nourishment option offering deeper connection, live gatherings, guided monthly topics, and access to exclusive wellness and lifestyle resources.This is more than a group. It’s a sanctuary — a circle of women who believe that when we slow down together, we rise stronger, softer, and more whole.



The Heart of The Ginger Jar Society

The Ginger Jar Society is a sanctuary for women who are quietly carrying more than the world sees. A place to heal, connect, learn, and remember that none of us are meant to walk through life alone. It is a community rooted in kindness and lived wisdom — where every woman is welcomed with tenderness, seen for her story, and supported through the transitions that come with midlife and beyond: divorce, illness, empty nesting, grief, reinvention, aging, and rediscovering who you’re becoming next.

Here, we gather because everyone is going through something you know nothing about.
Here, we choose gentleness. Here, we come together — to rebuild, reimagine, and rise.

The Deeper Why

I created The Ginger Jar Society because I found my own solace in women’s circles — in the warmth, the shared stories, and the way women can steady each other just by being together. I know the power that comes from community, and I want to extend that same comfort to others who are navigating the beautiful, difficult seasons of midlife.
