Join Us for a Women’s Networking Dinner
We hope you can join us on Tuesday, September 8th for networking and dinner!
We’re thrilled with our new space at Homeward Bound in Novato. It’s spacious and quiet, allowing for intimate conversations at our tables of six. The meals prepared by the Chef’s academy have wowed us with their healthy and delicious selections. AND we’re contributing to such a great cause with every dinner reservation.
By hosting our event with Homeward Bound, we directly support the mission of their Fresh Starts Culinary Academy. This program provides hands-on training, experience, and job placement opportunities for individuals working to transform their futures. The choice to partner with Homeward Bound makes a meaningful difference in their lives.
The location of our venue, Homeward Bound’s ‘Gilardi Center’ is on Puetts Way off the Hamilton Parkway in Novato. Please click the Google Maps for location assistance.

September Featured Speaker
Myriam Martinez
Come Back to Yourself:
Creativity as a Resource for Women
When life gets full and stress runs high, creativity is often the first thing we set aside. But what if it's actually one of the most powerful tools we have?
In this engaging, interactive talk, you'll discover how creative expression can shift your nervous system, lower stress, and open up new ways of seeing your life. We'll explore the real science behind how creativity changes your body and mind, why it matters especially for women's health, and how you can start using it as a daily resource — no artistic talent required.
Come ready to participate, and leave with something you can use right away.
