About

The main purpose of Kindred Women Together...Learn Laugh Grow is to provide opportunities for women to feel connected with other women within our community.
Janice Maple, Founder of Kindred Women Together, wanted women to feel the same sense of
community that she did. From this simple wish, The INClub was born in February 2019. The INClub
was established as an inclusive social club for women to meet each other and form new friendships.
Over an 18 month period, The INClub hosted a number of social events and various activities and
connected well over 200 women in the Bangalow (Northern NSW) community.


As time went by, it was clear The INClub was evolving and growing up! It changed from being a club
for women to meet socially, into a safe space for like-minded women to come together, learn new
things and ultimately form new friendships and connections with other women in their community.
With the focus now on providing smaller, more intimate activities where women have the
opportunity to learn and try new things, it was time to change the name to better reflect what the
women do when they come together. Kindred Women Together...Learn Laugh Grow was born.

 

Women who participate are generally at a stage in their life
where they are ready to invest in themselves, in their own interests and in their own
happiness. All women are welcome to join in any of the activities.

"Kindness is like snow...it beautifies everything it covers."

Our Mission

The INClub has been truly life-altering for me, for the better!

I have LOVED meeting wonderful local women at social events and workshops

such as singing (Melia is an incredibly beautiful force of nature!), creative writing

(Sib’s knowledge is unsurpassed!) and my regular opportunity to BREATHE,

the gorgeous Dave’s Tai Ga Chi classes! I could not recommend this club highly enough.

Thank you Janice for your insight and dedication to our community connectedness and growth!

A little bit about Janice...

Janice Maple - Founder

Janice Maple has lived in the Byron Shire (Northern NSW) since 2001, while raising her sons and running a local real estate business and is a respected and active member of the community.


In 2015, Janice had an idea about starting a social group for women. At that time, Janice was very
busy with other things in her life, being everything to everyone else, like most mothers, partners and
workers can be! After selling her business in 2018, and with a couple of her children leaving the nest,
Janice felt it was finally the right time to devote some of her energy to this idea that had been
niggling in the back of her mind for all these years.

Janice continued to work as an independent real estate agent in her community as well as facilitating the program for Kindred Women Together.  After living in the community and receiving so much support over the years, Janice is excited to be giving something back to those who have supported her.

Women always need to feel connected with other women!


Janice is excited to keep expanding the program so that all women

can feel a sense of belonging within their community.
