Healing & Releasing Internalized Homophobia, part of our Later In Life Lesbian Education Series

Thursday, November 12th, 3:00-5:00 p.m. Pacific Time

Open to all who identify as coming out, or having come out, later in life.

Please adjust to your local time. This Meetup is being posted in 25 groups around the world, so your local RSVP count will not be accurate.

Coming out over 40? New to loving women? Whether you're just getting started with lesbian dating or love, came out a while ago but are still finding your footing, have never been with a woman, are still married to a man, or just aren't sure you're straight, all of your questions are welcome here. You are welcome here.

Here's what you'll talk about in our class:

What internalized homophobia is, how it develops, and the ways it can show up in our lives, relationships, and sense of self.

How societal messages, family expectations, and cultural conditioning shape what we believe about ourselves and who we're allowed to love.

How to recognize and begin releasing internalized shame, guilt, fear, and judgment.

The unique ways internalized homophobia can impact women coming out in their 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.

How to move through feelings of regret, confusion, or grief about the years spent living a life that may not have fully reflected who we are.

Ways to cultivate greater self-acceptance, belonging, and pride in our identities and within the lesbian community.

How to embrace your sexuality more fully and create a life that feels authentic, joyful, and truly your own.

This class is like an orientation manual and welcome

to the women-loving-women community.

***Note: A RSVP on Meetup is not enough to get you in! There's a $1.00 charge, and you must >register and pay on our site.

So, who and what is Conscious Girlfriend Academy? We're glad you asked! We're the leading global resource helping lesbians, women-loving-women and adjacent non-binary people... to prevent heartbreak, date wisely, and love well.

We literally wrote the book on Conscious Lesbian Dating & Love back in 2015 (start reading it for free right here), and since then we've become a thriving online school and community that also hosts multiple in-person live retreats each year. Most of our members are 40+, and many are in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. We welcome women just coming out, longtime lesbians, and everyone in between. And while most of our members come from the U.S. and Canada, we've had participants from 25 countries around the world.

If you're a self-identified woman who loves women, or wants to, we've got tools to support and empower you, and help you live your best life. All of our work is based on cutting-edge psychology, neuroscience, relationship research and attachment theory, and we've got world-class lesbian and queer instructors and coaches, as well as a loving, open-hearted, compassionate, growth-oriented community -- and a very warm welcome for you. That's why so many members say, "This feels like home."

Want to get the vibe? Check out our free recorded class on Lesbian Dating & Love Over 50. Even if you're younger than 50, I promise you'll still learn things! But if you're over 50, it's a definite game-changer.
