THIS ISN'T NETWORKING.

It’s belonging.

So many women in San Francisco have full lives — careers, families, and a never-ending list of responsibilities. And yet something still feels missing.

It can be surprisingly hard to make new friendships as an adult. Hard to find a space where you can be yourself, without titles, expectations, or small talk.

Parlay House was created for exactly this reason.

“This isn’t networking. It’s belonging.”

WHAT IT'S LIKE

Living rooms, long tables, real talk in San Francisco.

Parlay House gatherings in San Francisco are hosted in members’ homes and small venues, creating an atmosphere that feels warm, relaxed, and real.

Each gathering features a speaker, topic, or guided conversation, followed by time to connect with other women.

You don’t need to know anyone to come. Most women arrive alone. Many leave with friends they’ve been looking for for years.

WHO YOU'LL MEET

Curious, thoughtful,
done with small talk.

Women come to Parlay House in San Francisco for all kinds of reasons: a new city, a life transition, a quiet wish for more depth. Some have plenty of friends but want real community. Some just want a room full of women who get it.

Most of our members in San Francisco are in their late 30s to 60s: curious, thoughtful, and done with small talk.

INSTIGATOR · SAN FRANCISCO

ANNE DEVEREUX-MILLS

Why I became a Parlay House instigator:
As someone who found myself without meaningful connections and support when I needed it most, it feels fabulous to be able to create a space for others to find connection and support.
What I love outside of work:
I love creating! Whether it is with clay, fabric or a pen, using my hands to build “something out of nothing” puts me in my happy place.
My favorite book or movie right now:
Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy.
Why women's community matters to me:
As women, much of our time at work, home and in our daily lives is being the caregiver, the stoic one, the person who says, “don’t worry, I’m fine”. In a truly welcoming women’s community, we provide space for each other to share what’s really going on, and make each other realize that we are welcome just as we are and give each other a place to feels seen and to belong. It doesn’t get better than that.
