Sole Circles are how our global community of women in midlife and beyond connect locally for in-person Rambles.
We host our Sole Circles on WhatsApp and you must use WhatsApp to join.
Sole Circles are free to join and participate in.
Sole Circles are member-led, meaning the members organize the Rambles. While Rambles are most often walks, or hikes they can be any activity that you enjoy.
You can join as many Sole Circles as you like to connect with your Sole Sisters at home or while traveling.
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 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 Circles are open to all who identify as women in midlife and beyond. Most of our Ramblers are between 45 and 75 — a vibrant community of women embracing this chapter of life with connection, confidence, and curiosity.
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.
Most of our Rambles are walks or hikes, but we are always surprised by the other activities our Sole Sisters post as Rambles.
Rambles this year have included multiple seasonal celebrations, book exchanges, a puzzle competition, yoga classes, a climbing wall visit, sampling local restaurants, a bocce ball picnic, a salsa tasting, an olive oil tasting, several pool parties, many concerts (with dancing), local happy hours, cold water swims, a puzzling competition, canasta games, pickleball games, wreath making, stuffing pumpkins with succulents craft workshop, winery visits, a pottery workshop, several art gallery visits, farm visits, and a learning navigation and using paper maps workshop.
If you can dream it, you can Ramble it!
