Our Signature Morning of Connection, Empowerment, and Expansion
Join us for our final Coffee & Connection before Ventura County Business Women pauses for Summer Break in July.
This gathering is always special, but June carries a different kind of energy. It’s a moment to reconnect, celebrate growth, reflect on the first half of the year, and intentionally step into the season ahead surrounded by women who truly see, support, and expand one another.
We’re inviting you to bring a friend, make new connections, share what you’re building, and tap into the momentum happening inside the VCBW community before we transition into our summer reset.
Expect meaningful conversations, aligned networking, community updates, opportunities to connect deeper, and the kind of room that reminds you you’re not building alone.
Whether you’ve been part of the community for years or this is your first time attending, June is the perfect event to step in, get connected, and experience the energy of VCBW in person before summer.

Ojai Native Skincare
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.
