THE CLAIRES WORKSHOP OPENS TO PUBLIC: PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT CIRCLE FOR SOBER WITCHES LAUNCHES JUNE 2025
Designed as a Workshop for Witches, The Claires Workshop is a live, psychic development experience that helps participants strengthen their innate abilities.
'Recovery cracked me open—and what poured out were visions and feelings I couldn't explain. I wasn't broken—I was waking up. The Claires Workshop helps others trust their gifts too.'— Sunshine Witchski
DETROIT, MI, UNITED STATES, May 30, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- What if your deepest intuitive gifts were not a distraction from your sobriety, but a path toward it? For many witches in recovery, reconnecting with their psychic senses has become a profound part of healing. Now, for the first time, the Recovery Coven is opening its signature members-only series to the public, beginning with The Claires Workshop in June.
This new public event, offered monthly through the Recovery Coven, represents a key milestone for the Sober Witch Life Movement. Designed as a Workshop for Witches in Recovery, The Claires Workshop is a live, two-hour psychic development experience that helps participants strengthen their innate abilities while staying grounded in sobriety. The event is also available via the Sober Witch Mobile App, which has become a vital resource for witches navigating spiritual recovery.
By linking recovery with psychic development, Sunshine—founder of the Sober Witch Life Movement and creator of The Recovery Coven—has sparked a national conversation around sober witchcraft and holistic transformation.
A NEW CHAPTER IN SOBER WITCH LIFE
Founded in 2024, the Sober Witch Life Movement began as a response to the lack of spiritual alignment in traditional recovery spaces. Sunshine, a recovering alcoholic, psychic medium, and spiritual teacher, saw an urgent need for witches and spiritual seekers to heal on their own terms. Since its founding, her programs have guided hundreds through spiritual recovery programs rooted in ritual, intuition, and community support.
The Recovery Coven is the core of this growing movement. It offers weekly community circles, monthly workshops, and a mobile app filled with witch's recovery tools, magickal recovery tools, and shadow work in recovery practices. Until now, these offerings were exclusive to members. Beginning June 2025, they will become more accessible through a series of public workshops, each designed to explore witchcraft and sobriety in unique ways.
INSIDE THE CLAIRES WORKSHOP
The Claires Workshop focuses on psychic development for witches in recovery, guiding attendees through three interactive exercises that support connection to their clair senses—including clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairsentience (clear feeling), and clairaudience (clear hearing).
Key features of the June workshop include:
Live two-hour format held via Zoom and the Sober Witch Mobile App
Rotating development exercises such as intuitive drawing, direct reading, and beginner telepathy
Small-group experiences for deeper confidence-building and spiritual connection
A 30-minute social integration session for connection with others in recovery
This is more than a skills workshop. It is designed to help witches in recovery strengthen their intuition, rebuild self-trust, and feel spiritually grounded without relying solely on external tools like tarot or pendulums.
A UNIQUE APPROACH TO RECOVERY
Unlike traditional recovery programs, which often focus on abstinence and behavioral change, The Claires Workshop integrates mystical and intuitive practices that honor a participant's spiritual gifts. For witches and spiritually sensitive individuals, this approach fills a critical gap.
'When I first got sober, my psychic abilities came roaring back—and honestly, it felt like I was going crazy,' said Sunshine. 'But when I realized what was happening, everything clicked. I wasn't broken. I was finally hearing myself again. And now? I don't go a day without using my abilities. They're my compass.'
This perspective is increasingly resonating with a growing community seeking recovery that affirms their intuitive gifts. The Claires Workshop helps reframe psychic development not as a distraction from sobriety, but as an anchor.
REAL STORIES, REAL TRANSFORMATION
'For the first time, I felt understood,' said a Recovery Coven member who first attended the Claires Workshop in 2023. 'I used to second-guess everything. Now, I listen to my gut—and it's almost always right. I don't even reach for my pendulum anymore. I trust myself.'
With hundreds of downloads of the Sober Witch Mobile App and a membership base that continues to grow, the program is showing tangible results. Members report increases in daily ritual use, clarity in decision-making, and long-term sobriety gains when engaging with spiritual tools that feel aligned.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Witches in recovery face unique challenges. Many traditional recovery paths discourage the exploration of spirituality outside predefined belief systems. The Sober Witch Life model addresses this by offering customized, intuitive pathways that respect spiritual autonomy.
The Claires Workshop is the first of many public experiences designed to make this healing more accessible. It also reflects the broader mission of The Recovery Coven: to make witch's recovery tools widely available to anyone who resonates with the blend of mysticism and sobriety.
EVENT DETAILS
The Claires Workshop
Date: Thursday, June 12, 2025
Time: 7 PM EST
Location: Live via Zoom
Participants must be 18 or older and identify as being in recovery or actively seeking spiritual sobriety.

The Best Time to Take Vitamin D for Maximum Absorption, According to Health Experts
Reviewed by Dietitian Sarah Pflugradt, Ph.D., RDN, CSCSIt can be challenging to meet your vitamin D needs through diet alone. It doesn't matter whether you take vitamin D in the morning or evening. Take vitamin D with a meal or snack containing fat to enhance it comes to the supplement aisle, multivitamins, omega-3s and probiotics might score the most real estate on the shelf. However, if that multi doesn't come with a dose of vitamin D, your doctor might recommend adding another pill to your routine. Known as the "sunshine vitamin," vitamin D is something most of us aren't getting enough of, and if you're wondering what time of day you should take it, we're here with the answer. Roxana Ehsani, M.S., RD, CSSD, explains that vitamin D is one of four fat-soluble vitamins (A, E and K are the others). Our bodies make vitamin D after being exposed to the sun, and we can also get it through our diet. It plays 'many important roles in our body,' adds Ehsani. These include supporting your immune system, muscle and nerve function, your body's ability to absorb calcium and more. Even though vitamin D is critical for overall health, research suggests that an estimated 25% of Americans are deficient in it. This could be because there are few food sources of vitamin D, and many people don't see sunshine during winter, live in regions with limited sunlight, and/or keep their skin covered while al fresco. The average older adult's recommended Daily Value of vitamin D is 20 micrograms, which is equal to 800 international units (IU). For reference, one egg and a 3-ounce can of tuna each have above 1 mcg, 3 ounces of sockeye salmon delivers around 12 mcg, and 3 ounces of trout offers around 14 mcg. Unless you're taking a spoonful of cod liver oil (34 mcg) or eating salmon or trout daily, it can be challenging to meet that mark through food alone, since most food sources of vitamin D offer small amounts. In the U.S., people get most of their dietary vitamin D from fortified milk, which contains around 100 IU per 8-ounce serving. But you'd need to drink a quart or more of milk daily to reach the DV—and milk consumption has been declining in recent years, a factor that some experts cite when discussing increased vitamin D deficiency. That's why many people take a vitamin D supplement. However, you want to make sure not only that you're taking the right amount but also that your body is absorbing it properly. Read along to learn when to take your vitamin D supplement and what factors you should consider. We'll cut to the chase: According to the current scientific consensus, our experts agree that it doesn't matter what time of the day you take your vitamin D supplement. Many people find it handy to take supplements in the morning before the day sweeps them away. Others like to store them in a drawer near the kitchen cleaning supplies to pop after tidying up after dinner. It shouldn't make a substantial difference in absorption rates whether you swing to one side or the other, although it's easiest to remember if you pick one time and stick with it. There are many factors to consider when taking any supplement, not just a vitamin D supplement; here's what you should keep in mind. First, several conditions can influence an individual's vitamin D levels (or needs). These include osteoporosis or osteopenia, depression, kidney or liver disease and having a family history of neurological conditions, to name a few. According to David Davidson, M.D., it's especially important for 'people with absorption issues, like inflammatory bowel disease or post-gastric bypass surgery' to work with their doctors to dial in their dose and receive personalized guidance about when to take vitamin D. Body size can also alter absorbency and dosing, so be sure to ask your doctor for an individual recommendation before you set off to shop for supplements. If you notice any nausea, constipation, noticeable appetite shifts or other adverse symptoms after taking your supplement, be sure to chat with your doctor. Regardless of why you're including a vitamin D supplement in your regimen, it's important to consider your routine. It's difficult to reap the health benefits of vitamin D if you forget to take it most of the time. Many people do well with 'habit stacking' or pairing the routine of taking vitamin D with something else they do daily on autopilot. Keep this in mind as you consider when to take your supplements. Ehsani shows how to put this into practice: 'If you always brush your teeth in the morning after breakfast, for instance, can you place your vitamin D supplements next to your toothbrush to remind you to take it each day?' As with any new medication or supplement, it's important to check with a health care professional to determine the best time for you. As a general rule, though, 'the 'best' time is what works best for you,' Ehsani says. 'The timing of when to take the vitamin D supplement shouldn't matter, but it should be taken with food,' Davidson says. 'Because it's a fat-soluble vitamin, food, specifically healthy fats, will help with the absorption of vitamin D.' For example, if you tend to have almond-butter toast each morning, 'consider taking it with that meal, as almond butter contains healthy fats,' Ehsani advises. Or, if you like to serve dinner with a side salad topped with a handful of walnuts and drizzled with a vinaigrette, take your vitamin D before you sit down to dig in. You could also choose to take your vitamin D with a glass of whole milk or a yogurt drink—you'll get the addition of calcium from the dairy and the vitamin D will help your body absorb the calcium. 'It may be impractical for you to take it with meals if you eat a majority of your meals away from home and can't realistically carry the vitamin D supplement with you everywhere you go,' Ehsani acknowledges. So, if that's not a realistic proposition, tell a health care professional about your schedule and when you think it might better fit, and ask for their runner-up recommendation. There are two types of vitamin D: D2 and D3. UV-grown plants, fungi and fortified foods deliver D2, while we get D3 from sunlight and animal-based ingredients. While both are important and beneficial, vitamin D3 is more bioavailable than vitamin D2. This means that your body uses vitamin D3 more efficiently, so you might need a higher dose of vitamin D2 to achieve the same effects as you might with a supplement that includes just D3. Before starting any new supplement regimen, talk to a health care professional about the best form of vitamin D for you. And if you already take a vitamin D supplement, confirm with them that you're taking the right form. Related: 7 Things You Should Look for When Buying a Supplement, According to Dietitians The best time to take a vitamin D supplement is when it fits well into your day—and when you can remember to take it. When choosing a vitamin D supplement, consider opting for vitamin D3 over D2 so your body can use it more efficiently. Additionally, Ehsani and Davidson confirm that, ideally, you should take your vitamin D supplement with a meal that contains fat to help with absorption. For instance, if you like to take vitamin D first thing in the morning, well before you typically eat breakfast, or prefer to pop your supplements just before bed, think about doing so with a handful of nuts or a spoonful of nut butter, Ehsani says. That way, you'll enjoy two wellness wins in one: better vitamin D absorption and all the health benefits of nuts.

Hailee Steinfeld Glows In White Dress As She Stands Beside Josh Allen At The Altar
and are officially in wedding mode. The actress was seen glowing with joy on Friday as she and her NFL fiancé, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen rehearsed for their big day at a sun-soaked California resort. Wearing a flirty short white dress, Hailee Steinfeld beamed at the altar while the couple practiced their vows in front of friends and family. Allen, clearly keeping cool in more ways than one, held up an umbrella to shield himself from the sun, all while exchanging sweet, flirtatious moments with his bride-to-be. In the photos, obtained by TMZ, Steinfeld could be seen leaning in for a kiss as the crowd looked on, and from the looks of it, these two are more than ready to say 'I do.' Keeping her bridal energy strong all weekend long, Steinfeld continued to rock all white as she mingled with guests around the venue, soaking up the celebratory vibes. The couple's whirlwind romance began just over two years ago, when they were first spotted cozying up at a sushi restaurant. It didn't take long for the sparks to go public, a steamy hot tub photo soon confirmed their relationship, and fans have been rooting for the power couple ever since. Though they've largely kept their love story low-key compared to other celebrity-athlete pairings, a sweet gender reveal video months into their relationship showed just how head-over-heels they were. Not long after, Allen got down on one knee during a dreamy sunset proposal, framed by an elegant flower arch and dozens of candles overlooking the ocean. They shared the moment with a romantic snapshot of Hailee kissing her future husband with the caption, '11•22•24,' revealing that Allen popped the question on November 22, 2024. Steinfeld may be happily engaged to NFL star Allen, but that hasn't stopped fans from buzzing over her undeniable on-screen chemistry with "Sinners" co-star The horror-thriller, which hit theaters last week, has reignited speculation about the duo's bond, especially after Steinfeld recently opened up about how much she admires Jordan's performance. In a candid interview with Collider, Steinfeld praised Jordan's ability to seamlessly switch between his dual roles in the film, calling him 'one of the most generous actors' she's ever worked with. 'He is constantly giving and constantly checking in with me, with us, with everyone around him to make sure that we're getting what we need… He's so, so, so talented,' she shared. 'There was this natural connection and draw that I would have with Michael as Stack, and then, when he'd come on set as Smoke, I didn't really interact with him very much.' While Steinfeld's glowing words about her co-star seem nothing more than professional admiration, fans on social media have taken it in a different direction, trolling the actress and even urging Allen to 'cancel the wedding.' Though, it seems instead they are cancelling out the noise since they were just seen rehearsing at the altar. Despite the noise, Allen has reportedly remained unfazed and supportive, recently expressing how proud he is of Steinfeld's performance in the hit film. "It was awesome," Allen told reporters, per PEOPLE Magazine. "It was a different world, a very cool experience," the quarterback continued. "I'm so excited for her and so proud of her, and it's getting some great reviews. It's a fantastic movie, so go watch it." For now, the couple appears to be tuning out the chatter and focusing on their upcoming nuptials. While the exact wedding date remains under wraps, the rehearsal signals the big day is just around the corner, and with NFL training camp still weeks away, Allen has plenty of time to soak up honeymoon bliss before returning to Buffalo. From cozy hot tubs to the altar, Steinfeld and Allen have kept fans swooning every step of the way, and now, the countdown to their walk down the aisle is officially on.
