1609 collective is a bermuda-based community for women. we are a curated space where women of all different journeys (locals, expats, founders, mothers, etc.) come together for real connection, in real life.
we’re named for 1609 — the year the Sea Venture ran aground here, and one hundred and fifty strangers had to figure out how to become a community overnight. today, that’s still the assignment.
this community exists because of a problem the founder, Victoria Simons, lived herself: bermuda is one of the most extraordinary places in the world to live + one of the most isolating if you don’t have a solid social circle.
we’re here to create organic spaces for you to find your people.
designed for women who want to meet regularly across curated events, walks, brunches, + gatherings.
open to all, we host quarterly community events for anyone to attend. see our most recent one here.
our weekly newsletter shares what’s on, relevant news + supportive insights for women.
we work with brands who want to authentically reach women in bermuda through events, content collaborations, + signature partnerships. if that sounds like you, we’d love to talk: hello@1609collective.comÂ
