Sole Circles are how women in midlife and beyond connect locally for in-person Rambles through our global community.
We host more than 110 Sole Circles across 6 countries, with approximately 31,000 members.
Sole Circles are free to join and participate in. If you love being part of the community, we invite you to consider purchasing an optional paid membership to support us.
Our Sole Circles are hosted on WhatsApp, so you must use WhatsApp to join.
Sole Circles are member-led, which means members organize the Rambles. While Rambles are often walks or hikes, they can be any activity members enjoy.
You can join as many Sole Circles as you like to connect with your Sole Sisters—at home or while travelling.
Everywhere is within Rambling distance with Sole Sisters.
Sole Circles welcome women of all abilities and fitness levels. Most of our Rambles are walks or hikes, but any member can lead a Ramble based on an activity they love.
We’ve had Rambles for advanced scuba divers, for women recovering from injuries, and even for those using wheelchairs.
When a Sole Sister decides to lead a Ramble, she creates a Ramble Announcement and posts it in her Sole Circle. The announcement outlines the skills, fitness level, and equipment needed, allowing Ramblers to decide if the activity is right for them.
Sole Circles often have several Rambles posted at once, offering a variety of accessibility levels and activities.
Over time, our Circles have enjoyed an incredible mix of Rambles — from walks, hikes, and seasonal celebrations to book exchanges, puzzle competitions, yoga classes, climbing wall visits, restaurant outings, bocce ball picnics, salsa and olive oil tastings, pool parties, concerts (with dancing, of course!), happy hours, cold-water swims, Canasta games, pickleball matches, craft workshops, winery visits, pottery and art gallery trips, farm tours, and even navigation workshops using paper maps.
Sole Circles are — and always will be — free to join and participate in!
If being part of your Sole Circle brings joy, friendship, or inspiration into your life, you can choose to support us through an optional paid membership.
Your support helps us keep this beautiful community growing and thriving — that’s why we say we’re Rambler Powered!
We offer a few flexible membership options — monthly, annual, or one-time — so you can choose what feels right for you.
Sole Circle members organize the Rambles — and any member can step up to organize one!
When a leader plans a Ramble, she posts a Ramble Announcement in the Sole Circle with all the details others need to decide if they’d like to join.
Multiple Rambles can be posted at the same time, and the most active Sole Circles often have many Rambles posted at any given time.
Sole Circles are open to all who identify as women in midlife and beyond. Most of our Ramblers are between 45 and 80+ — a vibrant community of women embracing this chapter of life with connection, confidence, and curiosity.
Most of our Rambles are walks or hikes, but Sole Circle members can create a Ramble around any activity they enjoy.
Our Rambles have included all kinds of adventures — seasonal celebrations, book exchanges, yoga classes, climbing wall visits, local restaurant outings, bocce ball games, picnics, salsa and olive oil tastings, pool parties, concerts (with dancing!), happy hours, cold-water swims, Canasta and pickleball games, craft workshops, winery tours, pottery and art gallery visits and farm trips.
If you can dream it, you can Ramble it!
