Connecting People and Ideas

Claire's Communities

Welcome to Claire's Communities, where we talk finance, religion, politics and culture and the specific ways women experience these spheres. I'm here to help you connect with people by taking on taboo topics you didn't know how to bring up. Courses function like a book club, but they're better — They include educational materials you work through together and guided discussion questions to give you time to reflect on your own experiences and values as well as create community.

These courses help you talk through complex and important topics with a group of friends or family, or in more formal educational settings. While earning my PhD and as a university professor, I've spent years learning alongside and educating women who have wanted to feel more confident and informed in their financial, religious, and political lives by creating brave spaces of openness, sharing, and learning

Money Circles will help you master investing, budgeting, saving, career decisions, housing, doing money with partners and kids, and even intentional spending and giving. You'll also have space to make and share goals, process both positive and negative feelings around money, and connect with other money.

Faith and Feminism will help you feel confidence and peace with your values and beliefs as you explore artwork, poetry, and other resources. You'll have the space to reflect on your religious background and learn from the experiences of others.

Check out the Communities page for all of the topics I cover! Participation will help you not just survive but THRIVE as you sort through complex dynamics around money, religion, politics, grief, and relationships.

Get on our mailing list to stay up to date with our community courses and shoot the breeze about all your favorite taboo topics.

These courses are also adaptable for institutional and educational spaces. Please contact me at clairescommunities@gmail.com for pricing.

"After a Faith and Feminism discussion, I have come away so enlightened. It is always time well spent. My favorite part is the diversity of the group, age included! It enriches the conversations and adds to the growth of understanding and perspective of whatever topic is being discussed.

Hannah, IN

“Talking with others about money expanded my view of what I can do with money and what money can do for me. This community eased my fears, which helped me think practically about my financial options. I've also been part of a Faith and Feminism community, which is a tricky intersection, but talking about the complexity has helped me see the beauty of both worlds."

"Participating in discussion groups around money has been a game-changer me. Not only have I learned valuable tips and tricks for managing my finances, but I've also connected with others in new ways. Being part of a community that supports and encourages financial growth has been incredibly empowering."
