Self-Paced eCourse
Course Materials Master Page


Welcome, welcome!

Wheeeee!! 

Welcome to this 4-week self-paced e-course on learning and embodying potent life skills for thriving as a highly sensitive creative person. So happy you decided to join us!

I've received your registration, and I thank you for your payment. (Picture your dollars winging their way to Tucson to buy finch seed and doggie kibble and art supplies and quilting supplies... Oh, the adventures your dollars will have!) 

The body-centered and spirit-centered tools you'll learn in this course are practical, magical and portable.

This deeply experiential program is based on my own journey as a highly sensitive artist and creative. It is centered on the transformational body-centered teachings of Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks and is informed by the pioneering work of Dr. Elaine Aron and her studies of the highly sensitive trait in The Highly Sensitive Person, also called sensory processing sensitivity. 

The lavish toolbox I'll share with you also draws from my decades-long studies in Holistic Human Development, yoga and the healing arts, and my advanced training as a BodyMind Vibrance Practitioner at The Hendricks Institute.

I'm so excited about this course, and so delighted you've chosen to jump in!

With a big warm hug! 

Cheers!
Claire

  2. Close the door (literally or figuratively) so you can place your full attention on the call
