helloyello_i350849 — Thu, 18 Jun 2026 09:00:00 Z

Continue your Rise & Shine Season 11 journey with Claudia through coffee, conversation, and deeper reflection on key concepts and readings.

Coffee with Claudia is a summer extension of Rise & Shine: Workshops for Women, created for women who want to continue exploring their manifestation journey in community with Claudia and other growth-minded women.

With coffee as the backdrop and community at the center, participants will revisit meaningful concepts introduced throughout Rise & Shine Season 11 and dive deeper into selected readings, authors, and ideas that shaped the season. Together, the group will reflect on how these teachings connect to their own lives, intentions, and personal growth.

While Coffee with Claudia builds on themes from Rise & Shine Season 11, participation in the season is not required to join. Whether you attended every session, joined for part of the journey, or are simply looking for a meaningful way to grow in community this summer, we welcome you.

This experience offers space to stay connected, continue learning, and carry the work of personal growth into the summer with greater clarity and intention.
