Six programs. Two weeks. This is Lotus.

Dear Friends,

Sometimes the best way to understand what Lotus Network is – is to simply take a look at what’s happening.

Over the course of just two weeks, we offered six completely different programs. Yes, six opportunities for women to show up for themselves and for one another.

It began with a Conversation Salon led by the incomparable Terry Rubin, centered on a simple but powerful question: what matters most? These gatherings remain a cornerstone of our community; a space where women feel safe, heard, and understood.

Just two days later, the energy shifted as women gathered for an afternoon of Mahjong as part of our Game On, Girls! initiative. What may look like a game is so much more: laughter, learning, mental agility, and connection that forms easily when women sit side by side.

We then came together for a Timely Topic with Jessica Zawadzki, who guided us through the increasingly important topic of scams and how to stay alert…giving women tools to feel informed and protected.

The very next day, we Stepped Out to the Molly Brown House, immersing ourselves in the story of a woman whose resilience and spirit continue to inspire. Reminding us that connection also happens as we explore and experience something new together.

We also hosted our second Courageous Connections gathering which was created especially for women new to Colorado or new to Lotus Network. There is something brave about walking into a room not knowing anyone… and leaving with the beginning of a friendship.

And to punctuate these two weeks, Bloom & Thrive was in full bloom. Led by executive functioning coach Ali Zidel, this workshop supported women feeling overwhelmed by competing demands, offering practical, research-based strategies to ease mental overload, sharpen focus, and set confident boundaries.

Six programs. Two weeks.

And the truth is—this isn’t unusual.

When we say Lotus Network offers more than 40 programs a year, it’s not an aspiration, it’s what’s happening every single month. Because we know:

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to connection, growth, and purpose.

So we create many doors, and invite women to walk through the one that feels right for them.

That same spirit carries into what’s ahead.

On June 15th, while our golfers are out on the course, we’ll be Stepping Out in a different way, gathering for a scenic hike at The Bluffs This event is designed especially for non-golfers and it’s a chance to start the day with fresh air, movement, meaningful conversation, and connection. You can learn more and register through the link provided.

And just before that, our Online Auction (June 5–12) will feature an exciting collection of items you won’t want to miss.  Every dollar raised will directly support our wide range of programs that bring women together, spark new connections, and create opportunities for growth.

Because everything we create…every program, every gathering, every moment of connection, is made possible by a community that believes in what we’re building, with you in mind and with you at
the heart of it all.
 

And what we’re building… is something special.
 

With gratitude,
