Connected Hearts: A Vibrant Midlife Community for Women in North County Shaping a Midlife that’s Fun, Meaningful, and Fulfilling.

A night each month of joyful connection that’s refreshingly easy to say yes to.
Coming November 2025 to North County, San Diego

What is Connected Hearts?

Connected Hearts is a community for women in North County San Diego (typically in their mid-40s to mid-60s) navigating the beautiful and complex shifts of this life stage. It’s a space to explore changing relationships, rediscover passions, and reimagine what’s possible – together.

Our community is built for women who are:

  • Kind, curious, and open to new people and fresh perspectives.
  • Ready for real conversation that goes beyond the surface.
  • Looking for experiences that feel both grounding and uplifting.

If you’re nodding your head, you’re in the right place.

Best of all, you don’t have to plan it, host it, or prepare. This is your turn to simply show up, feel instantly at ease, and head home feeling energized and renewed.

A Whole New Kind of Gathering

Every Connected Hearts gathering is a premium facilitated experience – thoughtfully crafted to be something you actually want to make time for – without the pressure, planning, or small talk.

Premium Facilitated Experience: Every gathering is intentionally crafted by Cheryl Dillon, a certified life coach, to be an experience you actually want to make time for. It’s a thoughtfully designed evening that’s engaging and meaningful – without the usual pressure, planning, or small talk.

Drama-Free Zone: We are committed to a supportive, friendly vibe. No cliques, competition, or gossip.

Intentionally Designed for Inclusion: Our structured format ensures everyone feels welcome and part of the flow – not just the most outgoing.

Enriching and Rewarding Experiences: You’ll do something enjoyable and learn something new, gaining not just new friends, but valuable insights you can carry into your life. You will head home feeling energized, inspired, and renewed.

Meaningful Social Connection: Our facilitated activities make connecting in the moment feel natural and easy. Our consistent, once-a-month rhythm is what helps turn those initial sparks into genuine, lasting friendships.

A Catalyst for What’s Next: This is more than a monthly feel-good event; it’s a space designed to help you soar. We provide the inspiration and camaraderie you need to reimagine your next chapter and create a life you love.

What You’ll Experience at Each Gathering

  • A warm welcome and natural opportunities to start connecting from the moment you arrive.

  • A centering moment to help you shift out of the day’s busyness and into a more present, open mindset.

  • An inspiring main experience – whether it’s a hands-on workshop, or a guided session – always blended with group discussion.

  • A lighthearted activity that weaves the group together in laughter and shared experience.

  • A meaningful closing ritual that sends you off feeling grounded, uplifted, and ready to carry the evening’s spark into the month ahead.

  • And of course, thoughtfully selected snacks and non-alcoholic beverages will also be provided.

While the flow of each evening is consistent, the themes are always fresh and engaging.

Some months lean into lighter, more playful themes; others invite you to reflect, learn, or try something new. We explore all aspects of thriving in midlife – from external shifts like discovering your signature style or energy-boosting wellness habits, to deeper explorations such as clarifying your priorities or finding fresh inspiration for the season you’re in now.

Who is right for Connected Hearts?2025-09-15T07:20:47-07:00

Connected Hearts is for women in their mid-40s to mid-60s. But more important than age is attitude. It’s for women who are kind, curious, and open – to new people, fresh perspectives, and meaningful experiences. Whether you’re already familiar with personal growth concepts or completely new to exploring these ideas, what matters most is showing up with warmth, a willingness to be real, and a desire for deeper conversations.

We believe the energy you bring shapes the space we share, and here, we’re all about creating a soulful community that’s refreshingly positive, genuinely supportive, and full of laughter, fun, and friendship.

If that feels like your kind of crowd, pull up a chair – we saved you a seat! You’ll leave each gathering feeling energized, more connected to yourself and others, and glad you came.

Who is this NOT right for?2025-09-15T07:20:47-07:00

Connected Hearts isn’t the right fit if you’re looking for casual or business networking, prefer to keep every conversation at surface level, or aren’t open to fresh perspectives about yourself and this stage of life.

Do I have to participate in sharing?2025-09-15T07:20:47-07:00

You’ll never be asked to share more than you’re comfortable with. Our gatherings work best when everyone engages in a way that feels right for them – whether that’s offering a personal insight, adding a brief comment, or simply listening and participating in other activities. The environment is designed to make authentic sharing feel natural, and you’ll find your own rhythm as you get to know the group.

Do you have community guidelines?2025-09-15T07:20:47-07:00

Yes. All members agree to our Connected Hearts Promise – a simple set of values that shape the kind of community we want to create together. It’s about being respectful, kind, and supportive; keeping our space non-judgmental; and making it easy for everyone to feel welcome. These shared commitments help ensure our gatherings stay positive, authentic, and meaningful for everyone.
