The League of Glorious Nonsense

A not-so-secret society for women who are tired of optimizing life.

Life isn't waiting on the other side of accomplishment. It's happening now.

Exhale and enjoy it with us!

Not here to be more.

Here to be more 
gloriously alive.

Registration opens in September. Save your spot now.

The version of you who was delighted by the silliness of life didn't disappear. She just hasn't had anywhere to belong. 
This is that place.

In-person nonsense
for women 
ready to exhale.

A standing weekly gathering in the Twin Cities where you don't have to plan anything, decide anything, or optimize anything. Just show up and be delightfully, gloriously you.

✦ Step 1

Come

just as you are

and as you can

✦ Step 2

Exhale

all the shoulds
and shouldn'ts

✦ Step 3

Belong

with real women

of all ages

✦ Step 4

Delight

in the glorious nonsense of life

What is glorious nonsense?

Picture this: You open the door and are welcomed by 20 women. The host offers you a beverage and a snack. Soon you're all laughing over a nonsensical scavenger hunt. You wind down by finding shapes in clouds.

 

For two hours, nobody has asked you to prove or improve yourself. As you leave, you already can't wait to see what glorious nonsense the group will get up to next week.

This is one evening a week to remember you're a person — not just someone who gets things done.

Why Jennifer created The League

You may be wondering where the idea for a club devoted to glorious nonsense came from.

 

Jennifer, the founder, kept meeting women who put off time for joy until they had 'earned' it or 'finished' everything else. A day that never came.

She wanted to give women a place to find community and enjoy the light moments of life.

 

In learning how to do that, she ended up on a path of discovering she is more than her roles and adopted personas. And it led her to deeper delight and joy.

Her journeys have come together in The League of Glorious Nonsense, where you can
find your glorious self in our shared nonsense.

We think you'll love this if you ...

  • Have spent years postponing joy

  • Don't make time to play

  • Want more female friends

  • Are tired of self-improvement

  • Would welcome a structured space to explore wonder

  • Are intrigued by whimsical rituals, side quests, absurd awards, spontaneous singing, and other such nonsense

 

Not sure you're silly enough? Trust me, you are. This is a safe place to explore that part of you.
