      <image:caption>Anthology Grounds Stories have always been my compass. They connect us, ground us, and remind us that life isn’t meant to be carried alone. I started Anthology Studios to celebrate life’s big moments with beauty and care. I built The Village so teens could learn and create with empathy at the center. Anthology Grounds is for the rest of us—the adults who still need a place to slow down, share, and remember that life is better when it’s shared. It’s guided by my Mexican roots, where gathering, honoring one another, and making room for every voice is at the heart of how we connect. Anthology Grounds is a pause. A table. A space where adults can gather, be seen, and connect—without judgment or fixing. Through story nights, shared meals, and playful experiences, we come together to remember how rich, messy, and human life can be. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and share the room together. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ojai Native was born from a desire to slow down skincare and turn it into a ritual rather than a routine. Inspired by my Indigenous heritage and a lifelong connection to plants, land, and traditional healing practices, I formulate each product with intention—using locally sourced botanicals, herbs, and oils whenever possible. Many of our ingredients are grown, harvested, or infused right here in Ojai. Our products are designed for women who want effective, clean skincare without overwhelm—especially those navigating sensitive skin, stress, hormonal changes, or simply craving a more grounded approach to self-care. From our Hydrating Rose Serum and Lavender Face Cream to our ritual oils and botanical hydrosols, everything is handcrafted in small batches with sustainability, transparency, and skin health at the forefront. Beyond skincare, Ojai Native is about reconnecting—to ourselves, our land, and the small daily rituals that support well-being. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Dwelden is husband-and-wife duo Alex and Ben’s playground for creatively living, gathering, and feeling at home. We think a lamp should do more than light a corner. It should improve the way we experience space. Where most lighting is either pretty to look at or purely practical, we wanted both. The right glow can take the edge off a long day, make a room feel alive, or help us focus on an important task. So, we design lamps shaped by nature and built for hands-on assembly. Good design should shift your state of mind, not just your décor. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ojai Native was born from a desire to slow down skincare and turn it into a ritual rather than a routine. Inspired by my Indigenous heritage and a lifelong connection to plants, land, and traditional healing practices, I formulate each product with intention—using locally sourced botanicals, herbs, and oils whenever possible. Many of our ingredients are grown, harvested, or infused right here in Ojai. Our products are designed for women who want effective, clean skincare without overwhelm—especially those navigating sensitive skin, stress, hormonal changes, or simply craving a more grounded approach to self-care. From our Hydrating Rose Serum and Lavender Face Cream to our ritual oils and botanical hydrosols, everything is handcrafted in small batches with sustainability, transparency, and skin health at the forefront. Beyond skincare, Ojai Native is about reconnecting—to ourselves, our land, and the small daily rituals that support well-being. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I'm passionate about helping individuals and families take control of their finances and build a better future. My goal is to make money management simple, relatable, and empowering—so you can make your money work for you, not the other way around. I came from a family that didn't have access to true financial education and the years that we were left behind to fend for ourselves with that lack hurt us from being more ahead. Once I saw that there was financial literacy to be had I dove right in and wanted to absorb all that I could for myself and my family. By becoming financially educated I felt I could finally be empowered to make insightful and informed decisions for my family. That feeling of hope and excitement is what drives me to bring financial literacy to all because I see it is a human right! WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | LINKEDIN</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’ve spent the last 10 years building businesses, leading teams, growing communities, and navigating every high and low that comes with entrepreneurship. From organic marketing and business development to operations, systems, and sustainable growth—I’ve lived it, learned from it, and supported others through it. What I love most is helping women not only shift their mindset but also get clear on the logistics—because it takes both to sustain and grow a business that actually works for you. I lead the Business Breakthrough Sessions to create space for real conversations, personalized insight, and practical momentum. No fluff, no one-size-fits-all strategies—just grounded support that’s tailored to you and where you’re at. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | ABOUT</image:caption>

We're proud to support our community by offering locally baked pastries, showcasing work from artists in town, and donating to our city non-profits and schools.

We make a wide variety of products from salves to body butter to lotion bar to lip balms, even sunscreens and serums.

      <image:caption>Lori Shelley Coaching Truth Starts Inside..... I’m Lori Shelley | Self-Trust &amp; Clarity Coach, and I help people rebuild trust — starting with themselves. Whether you’re recovering from romantic betrayal or growing up in a family where trust was broken, my coaching helps you stop performing, set boundaries, and create life and relationships that actually work for you. Healing starts within. Most of us learned early to survive chaos, people-please, or hide our truth — and those patterns follow us into adulthood. I help you unpack those patterns, reclaim self-trust, and turn hard lessons into practical steps forward. I work with adults and young adults ready to get real, stop pretending, and build a life on their terms. My approach blends tough love, practical strategy, and heart, guiding you to clarity, confidence, and authentic connection — first with yourself, then with others. Because your best life doesn’t come from pretending — it comes from trusting yourself first. WEBSITE | FACEBOOK</image:caption>

Working in a locally owned and staffed mortgage brokerage, my goal is to help clients navigate the mortgage process and find solutions that suit their specific financial goals. Whether you are a first-time homebuyer, looking to refinance, or exploring investment opportunities, I am committed to providing personalized service and support from start to finish.

      <image:caption>Imaginary Dreams I guide people transform their experiences into stories that resonate, connect, and leave a lasting legacy. Storytelling has always driven my career. With over two decades of experience as a Creative Writer and Executive Producer in the audiovisual industry, I began my journey in New York, creating and producing advertising and content for markets in the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. I graduated in Communications from FAAP and further honed my skills in Creative Writing and Screenwriting at New York University, as well as in Story Making with James Bonnet in France. I am currently part of the Writers Program at UCLA. After establishing myself in entertainment and social impact, I began developing documentaries that amplify unheard voices and untold stories. I am also an active member of Netflix’s Reality &amp; Expectation group, the Women’s Group of Brazil, Women in Film (WIF) in Los Angeles, and VCBW in Ojai. Now based in Los Angeles, I am developing projects that spark meaningful conversations and drive social change. I am currently working on my podcast Between the Story Lines and editing my book The Day I Forgot About Myself, which is being adapted into a feature film and later into a fiction TV series.

      <image:caption>Honeyshine Calendula Bringing the miracle of healing to you from Seed to Salve I am a local mom of 5 and Our business is called Honey Shine Calendula. Honey Shine is a calendula based all over skincare made by myself. I began this business for my kids that have eczema and dry skin and struggled to find a healthy and clean option for them. I then created my first product the Calendula Salve that has only clean, homegrown and healthy ingredients. Starting in May of 2020 and growing more each year. We make a wide variety of products from salves to body butter to lotion bar to lip balms, even sunscreens and serums.  We have been in business over 4 years and have curated the recipe for our bestselling calendula salve from my late grandmother. I love pouring all my love, heart and soul into each tin of calendula salve and bringing the miracle of healing your way for your skin. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Business Breakthrough Session - Event Host: Tawney Noriega Founder of Ventura County Business Women</image:title>
      <image:caption>I’ve spent the last 10 years building businesses, leading teams, growing communities, and navigating every high and low that comes with entrepreneurship. From organic marketing and business development to operations, systems, and sustainable growth—I’ve lived it, learned from it, and supported others through it. What I love most is helping women not only shift their mindset but also get clear on the logistics—because it takes both to sustain and grow a business that actually works for you. I lead the Business Breakthrough Sessions to create space for real conversations, personalized insight, and practical momentum. No fluff, no one-size-fits-all strategies—just grounded support that’s tailored to you and where you’re at. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | ABOUT</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I’ve spent the last 10 years building businesses, leading teams, growing communities, and navigating every high and low that comes with entrepreneurship. From organic marketing and business development to operations, systems, and sustainable growth—I’ve lived it, learned from it, and supported others through it. What I love most is helping women not only shift their mindset but also get clear on the logistics—because it takes both to sustain and grow a business that actually works for you. I lead the Business Breakthrough Sessions to create space for real conversations, personalized insight, and practical momentum. No fluff, no one-size-fits-all strategies—just grounded support that’s tailored to you and where you’re at. WEBSITE | INSTAGRAM | FACEBOOK | ABOUT</image:caption>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Coffee &amp;amp; Connection - Table Feature: Emily Velasco Clean Living Consulting Live Longer Better My passion around clean grew when I saw store-shelf bought products hurting my kids. I learned not everything we buy is safe for our use and saw a need to help educate others. A lot of people don't know what to look for in an ingredient list and what is listed at face value is usually greenwashing. Controlling your home environment is the best thing you can do for you and your family. Offering help to others in lessening their toxic exposure at home with clean nutritional supplements, personal care and green home products.</image:title>

I’m Amy Wilson – creator, nurturer, transmitter, healer, chronic neurological Lyme disease warrior, and owner of Native Natural Wellness. Through my lifelong chronic illness journey, I was introduced to natural + holistic healing - which became a beacon of light for hope and healing in a seemingly hopeless health journey with conventional medicine. For the last decade, I have immersed myself in studying and living naturally + holistically - becoming my own best healer – while continually furthering my education, attaining numerous certifications, including Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Board Certified Naturopathic Practitioner, and Board-Certified Nutrition Consultant. I created Native Natural Wellness from a place of deep empathy and desire to nurture others’ healing journeys - offering a haven filled with the compassion, natural health guidance, and holistic healing modalities I so greatly lacked in my early healing journey to others.</image:title>

      <image:title>Events Calendar - Ojai Chapter - Mini Training: Jenifer Novak FUNeagram As a creativity-focused entrepreneur I love generating possibilities for self-discovery in fun, simplified, and relatable ways. Through my 19 years in business with a thriving coaching practice, I added certification in the Enneagram and created my brand "FUNeagram" to make this powerful tool for personal growth easier to use. I work with individuals and teams to improve communication, overcome challenges and build better relationships using the Enneagram as a road map. My "Ultimate Enneagram Workbook" is published on Amazon, and I offer digital journals, card decks, guidebooks, and other resources to support personal empowerment through my online shop. Personally I went to Nordhoff High School here in Ojai, left for college in Seattle, returned to Ojai for another 10 years working and deciding I'd rather be an entrepreneur, and then moved to Northern CA, raised my daughter and built my businesses. I returned to Ojai about a year ago because I love being in my favorite place on the planet.</image:title>

      <image:caption>A Southern California-based wife and mother of three, Alexis could not find a gluten-free bread that was both pure and delicious enough to satisfy her growing family—so she made it herself. The result was a soft, hearty buckwheat bread that appeals as much to foodies as to those with allergen-free diets. All products are crafted from a careful mix of gluten-free and vegan ingredients grown under the sun, SunOven delivers all the flavor of gourmet products, without the gluten, dairy, additives, preservatives or pesticides. Each batch is lovingly hand-crafted in the Ojai bakery. You can visit the bakery or find the products at local shops, stores, and restaurants in California.
