Claire
O'Connor
Facilitator & Coach
"It's never too late to be what you might have been."
George Eliot
Claire
O’Connor knows the cure to the “pathological individualism” rampant in our culture is to let others
in on your dreams and to surround yourself with the right tribe and she wants to spread the word. With the "right
tribe", we can help grow each other into our next-biggest, best selves.
Fueled by the joy of seeing people engaged with
their lives in the spirit of possibility and celebration, Claire shares her gifts -- as a natural connnector
with a way of drawing people together -- and as a healing, compassionate presence which evokes authenticity in those
with whom she works.
A
delightfully down-to-earth, warm and engaging coach and workshop leader, Claire O’Connor connects with a bright,
open energy which invites people to feel safe and at home no matter the setting. Clients and workshop participants feel
at ease and inspired at the same time.
As an experienced, intuitive facilitator, Claire has the ability to light-heartedly yet masterfully
focus group energy, while staying tuned in to each person. Her background includes a degree in Holistic
Human Development and Counseling Psychology and over 20 years’ experience as a group facilitator for various
groups, teams and guilds whose membership has included women-in-transition, women entrepreneurs, new empty-nesters, career-changers,
healing arts practitioners, environmental educators, middle-schoolers and college freshmen. Claire is in a two-year Apprenticeship Program at the Hendricks Institute for Conscious Living. She is a Certified Conscious Relationship and Body-Mind Vibrance Coach.

Claire says...
 "My own
idea of an enchanted life is when everyday feels like being a kid on summer vacation. I love that I get to wake
up every morning to the adventure of life, that I get to express my creativity in so many different ways - and make a living
doing it, and that I get to share it all with other amazing people who are on a similar path.
Add to
that, for me heaven-on-earth is puttering and loving with my sweetheart Ken Plattner at our cozy abode "Encantada a Casa", in gorgeous Tucson, Arizona. You can usually find us expressing
our creativity in the yard with plants and stone. Or traveling to distant lands in search of the most beautiful stone
walls. Or lolling about in and around the pool, savoring a glass of wine over yummy food and great conversation with
friends, our darling chocolate lab, Roxy, sprawling underfoot. (See photo below). And click here to to see more photos of my own Enchanted Life!
Come join me! Let's play our way in to our 'enchanted lives'."
