Two women.
Many lunches.
One vision.

After 20+ years at 7x7, owner/editor Chloé Hennen placed a bet, launching the 7x7 Social Club to reignite human connection in post-pandemic San Francisco.

The response was electric. Bay Area women came to make art, clink glasses, and reclaim their joy. "The city needs this!" they said. "How do we join?"

Meanwhile in Oakland, Lisa Raja was empowering women to navigate life's biggest transitions with style and confidence through her wellness pop-up, The Pause Bar.

Over lunch at Neiman Marcus Rotunda, synergy sparked among friends.

Chloé's vision for a cultural social hub merged with Lisa's wellness sanctuary into something new: a holistic members' club where women find enriching experiences and meaningful connection in a space designed just for them.

We’re not just building a club. We’re creating the community that we—and you—have been craving.
