Upcoming Programs
A note on BWC Events and our Guest Policies:
BWC hosts many community events where we open our doors often and freely to support our commitment to bringing educational, civic-minded programming that benefits our whole community. Examples include Sheriff Corpus, the panel on Climate Action, and the League of Women Voters at election time.
For our member events, such as our General Meetings, member happy hours, Mah Jong, and monthly book clubs, we encourage our members to invite guests to attend so they can experience the club. However, we want to set the expectation that if a guest comes to more than two events, we expect them to commit to joining, as that is only fair to our paying members.
Thank you for your understanding!

MARCH SPECIAL SERIES – Mah Jong March Madness, Thursdays March 6, 13, 20 and 27
WOMEN IN WELLNESS SERIES February Workshop: Meditation with Kathie Heap 5:30 – 6:30PM
Join Kathie for a free guided meditation and sound healing session. Bring a comfortable yoga mat, blanket or towel to stretch out on and relax. Kathie will verbally guide you through a “grounding meditation”. She incorporates Tibetan sound healing bowls and other instruments. Often it is easier to be led through meditation rather than try doing it on your own. Come learn some new techniques to try. No experience necessary.
About Kathie Heap One of our newest 2025 BWC members, Kathie (Ping) Heap grew up here in Burlingame. She attended Roosevelt, BIS, and Burlingame High School. After UC Davis and living in Paris, she decided to raise her family in Burlingame. Leaving a life of high tech marketing and sales, she became passionate in helping others through holistic healing methods. With her desire to help others, she now focuses on Energize as an Intuition Medicine® Practitioner and Massage Therapist, Botanical Healing Print Artist and soon-to-be published author.
