Hey ladies, looking for a little soul food? Women’s groups that focus on self-awareness and spiritual growth offer fun, fulfilling events any gal can attend.

Conscious Divas was kicked off by Julia King and Kate Muke, who wanted to create a community—both online and off—to help women achieve success in every area of their lives. “You don’t have to stop doing the things you love, like buying beautiful designer shoes or having a couple glasses of wine, to live consciously…We simply want to provide new awareness that allows women to decide what tips, tools or habits work best for them to live a life they love.”

Besides a website chock full of knowledge you can use to take action and be accountable for your health, wealth and relationships and your spiritual, mental and emotional well-being, the group hosts regular Diva Date Nights in Vancouver and West Van, each featuring a different topic—from connecting to your intuition to cultivating self-love—inspired by “one or many powerful goddesses who we feel are leaders in creating a rockin’ life.” consciousdivas.com

The Blue Bees Network is “a collective group of high-vibin’ goddesses who have come together to [uncover] their passions and power to manifest their ideal realities.” With a focus on teaching “powerful, effective tools to manifest anything [your] beautiful heart desires,” the Blue Bees host monthly Goddess Gatherings as well as introductory courses on the art of manifestation.

But why bees? “Bees vibrate at a super-high frequency, which is…one of the keys to human manifestation,” explains the group on its website. “Bees represent life, celebration, harmony with others…and centering our lives around spirit or goddess by working in community. They teach us the value of organization, dancing and playing in harmony to reach common goals.” thebluebeesnetwork.wordpress.com
