TEA & TALKING
Hosted every 1st Tuesday of the Month - Tea & Talking with Queen Angela is a reoccurring, heart-centered conversation series focused on real talk around life, parenting, stress, purpose, and healing over tea. Let’s sit together, learn together, and heal together one cup of tea at a time. These gatherings will continue to occur in 2027 under the name "Sister Circle." See more details by RSVPing for each event through our Calendar Page.
iLLUMIN8
Hosted every 2nd Tuesday of each month - Owls Illumin8 Women's Hub is a weekly gathering at the Union Street Hub in Schenectady, with workshops on self-care, healing, financial literacy, goal setting, wellness, communication, leadership, and art therapy. See more details by RSVPing for each event through our Calendar Page.
ZOOM | TEA & TALKING
Hosted every 3rd Tuesday of the Month - ZOOM Tea & Talking with Queen Angela is a reoccurring monthly virtual gathering for Women. Bring your favorite cup (or the suggested tea), brew a little joy, and let's talk about what matters most! See more details by RSVPing for each event through our Calendar Page.
GIRLS NIGHT OUT
Hosted every 4th Tuesday of the Month - Girls Night Out is Strong Owls' standing invitation to get out of the house and be together without an agenda beyond having a good time. There's something different each time: dinner and a show, a paint night, a bowling league throwdown, a holiday party, or game night! Open to all women, and bring a friend. See more details by RSVPing for each event through our Calendar Page.
WISE OWLS
After a long pause, we are bringing Wise Owls back! Wise Owls is a vibrant and welcoming community for women 55 and older who are ready to connect, contribute, explore, and enjoy this season of life. Together we create opportunities to volunteer, lead, mentor, make new friends, and experience all that Schenectady and the Capital District have to offer.
Special Gatherings
Seasonal or one-off community events like the Ladies Land Cruise Retreat, Kwanzaa gathering, and International Culture Fest are also available to all women. Check out our calendar of events to RSVP to our other events too!
