Who the hell do we think we are?
The Crone Network is currently a self-funded project intended to benefit older women. We're growing slowly and believe in the dream of building a Crone Community outside of social media. We're starting small by sponsoring Zippity Zooms, live video meet-ups that create real face-to-face connections. Small groups for casual conversations or topic-focused discussions. If you like what you see 'round here, check out our Facebook page at The Crone Network. Yes, it's social media, but there is some cool shit on our page! Gratefully, Diane, your Feisty Old Hag
Where it all started
Truth be told, I was scared shitless. No roadmap, no safety net, just me fumbling through the chaos and hoping I didn’t face-plant too hard. But here’s the thing—fear didn’t mean stop, it meant go. Every shaky step, every “what the hell am I doing” moment, that’s where the magic started.
Our Founding Principles...
- Respect everyone all the time
- Everyone must have a voice
- Be genuine, no head games
- Practice fairness in all things
- Enter with an open mind
Our mission...
The Crone Network is a not-for-profit social network created by and for older women, encouraging thought provoking conversations and shared experiences, providing Crones with a network of useful resources, and offering opportunities to connect in real time through in-person gatherings and internet meetups.
Our vision...
The Crone Network relies on the thoughts, ideas, participation, teachings, and inspiration of older women. We generally define a Crone as a woman past her child-bearing years, but our network is open to all who appreciate our experience and wisdom.
Our long-term goals are a marketplace for Crones to sell their handmade goods, regular scheduled gatherings, a robust Citizen Crone section to inform us about legislation affecting our community, and, ultimately, a real estate non-profit that buys properties to house small groups of Crones.
We invite readers and crafters, doers and thinkers, Crones who are adventurous and those who like their feet on the ground. Ghost hunters and novel writers, you are welcome here.
Our vision is to provide a comprehensive network of stimulating stories, friendly connections, and useful resources for older women who dare to live authentically and unapologetically.
Our style...
Our style is authentic to who we are as older women, so our style is casual and real.
