GGN Member Nell Merlino Invites you to
Picture yourself in the awe-inspiring city of San Miguel de Allende, where the soft pink hues of sunrise greet you each morning, beckoning your creative spirit to awaken. Allow me to guide you through a transformative experience as an artist in my upcoming Crown Quest workshop, The Art of Self-Discovery, where you’ll be immersed in an environment of beauty, creativity, and self-discovery.
Our private villa, nestled amongst the fragrant jasmine and gardenias, offers a serene backdrop for our art and conversations. We’ll share meals and make art together while hummingbirds flit about and inspire us. You’ll be joined by an exceptional group of women, each with unique stories and perspectives, all coming together to explore their inner selves through collage.
Unleash your creativity and discover the essence of who you are in the art you create. Experience the stunning 18th-century architecture of San Miguel de Allende, immerse yourself in the local markets, and rejuvenate your soul in the ancient healing powers of the Mayan baths nearby.
We’ll celebrate your transformation on our last day together at an art show. Take home a stunning canvas image of yourself or a loved one as a reminder of your newfound appreciation, energy, and peace. Celebrate your transformation by taking home a unique collage!

Track Meetings
We still ask for $5 to cover costs. And yes, you can register at the last minute…. but it would be GREAT if you let us know a couple of days before so we can plan our refreshments!!!
Our Track meetings are designed to give us a sacred space to have meaningful, purposeful conversations without fear of being judged or competed with. Only Members can attend. They are amazing experiences, unlike any ‘networking meeting’ you have ever attended!
GGN members MUST REGISTER to attend these meetings, so just follow the links below! And if you want to learn about us, go ahead and join GGN~~if you decide it isn’t for you, we will refund your membership fee!
Currently we meet the 2nd Monday morning and 3rd Wednesday evening of each month (see below).
Each one is an event or happening in itself. Some members come frequently, some come only once in a while. Whenever you attend one, you will find out things you didn’t know, connect with women who will challenge and inspire you, and you will leave with some new perspectives.

Become a Member!
Great Girls Network is our way of being the opposite of the Good Ol’ Boys Network (which is still very much alive and well!). Even if you don’t participate in Track meetings, your membership gives you a way to support our existence and be a part of a growing group of women who really appreciate each other. And the Trii-Annual Gatherings are unlike any other “networking” event! We know women don’t network like men. We want to build relationships, we want deeper, more meaningful connections. That is exactly what GGN provides.
Our membership fee of $50 per year gives you access to our Track Meetings and also contributions to our Newsletter. The fee helps sustain our website, but it also ensures that when you participate in a Track meeting, you will honor the sacredness of the conversations because you are a member.
We created a digital card that helps people understand what they can get from joining GGN so click here to see the card.
Your membership helps give us that foundation, the strength to grow and have an impact on the lives of so many more women.
