The Conscious Girlfriend Academy: For Women Who Love Women
This is an excellent online resource for women who love women.
Learn About The Conscious Girlfriend Academy
The Academy is an intelligent, compassionate online hub where all lesbians, queer women and other women-loving-women can meet, form friendships or more, and learn life-changing skills to create happy, healthy love.
We are a very special community. Most of our members say they've never found anything else like it: a place for all women who love women to share open-hearted conversation in a safe, compassionate atmosphere, while learning how to date and love skillfully. And yes, we've had members fall in love with each other, too :)
If you're on a personal growth or spiritual path, you'll feel right at home in the Academy! Our members tend to be smart, compassionate and growth-oriented women who value depth, and are willing to grow. Many are Buddhists, yogis, 12-steppers, and/or have done a lot of therapy or spiritual work. Some are newer on their growth path. All are welcome!
Academy members come from all over. Geography is no barrier! We meet on Zoom, and use breakout rooms so you can meet and connect with other women 1:1 and in small groups. We have all kinds of classes and groups. Click the Calendar link, or scroll down to see our upcoming offerings! There are also free community offerings led by community members each month.

Conscious Girlfriend Academy Members Say...
I just wanted to thank you for putting together this wonderful Academy experience for us. It is definitely helping me feel more connected with other women, as a late-in-life, fairly recent discoverer of what I think of as my sexual fluidity.

Thank you for creating such a powerful and loving community. I'm very much enjoying the Academy offerings. It’s so much more heart-opening and encouraging than the dating apps. I'll see you online again soon!
— Eliza, age 50
Wow! Today’s Academy group was wonderful! The visualizations we did today were very empowering for me. Also, a few nights ago I got triggered and then got to share about it with two other participants, and got supported with such love and kindness. It was quite healing.
— Dena, age 66
I’m loving the Academy, having beautiful conversations and anticipating good friendships at the very least! It’s helping me feel a new spark and optimism at this point in my life. And I have gotten two women's phone numbers already!
— Ameli, age 64
The Academy is such a gift - a wonderful community of lesbians to talk to and interact with! It’s invaluable to me. I’m still working on being the right partner (as well as finding her) and I can see myself wanting to go through the course materials again and again.

Some men have expressed frustration about my focus on women’s autism experiences, but this emphasis addresses a longstanding research gap that makes women-centered support essential.
