Sole Circles welcome women of all abilities and fitness levels.

Most of our Rambles are walks or hikes, but any member of our Sole Circles can lead a Ramble for any activity they love.

We once had a Ramble for advanced scuba divers and another for those recovering from an injury or confined to a wheelchair.

When a Sole Sister decides to lead a Ramble, she creates a Ramble Announcement and posts it in her Sole Circle WhatsApp Group.

The announcements describe the skills, fitness level, and equipment needed for that Ramble. Ramblers can then determine if they have the necessary fitness level or participation ability.

Sole Circles can have multiple Rambles posted simultaneously with varied accessibility levels and types of activities.

Our Sole Circles have enjoyed 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.

Sole Circles are free to join!

If you love being part of your Sole Circle and feel it adds something special to your life, you can support us by choosing an optional paid membership.

Our paid memberships support everything we do —that’s why we say we’re "Rambler Powered!" We offer a few different membership options, including monthly and annual subscriptions, as well as a one-time membership.

Subscribers with our annual or monthly memberships, get unlimited access to our Virtual Fitness and Lifestyle Challenges.

Sole Circle members lead the Rambles and any member can lead a Ramble.

Leaders post Ramble Announcements with the necessary details required for others to decide if they want to join.

Multiple Rambles can be posted simultaneously, and the most active Sole Circles have 3-5 Rambles posted at one time.

Sole Circles are open to all who identify as women in midlife and beyond. Most of our Ramblers are between 45 and 90 — a vibrant community of women embracing this chapter of life with connection, confidence, and curiosity.

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!

Yes, at this time you must have a WhatsApp account to participate in Sole Circles.
