FOUR WEEK COURSE
NEXT COURSE DATES TBA.
Limited to 6 participants.
Foundational embodiment skills for teachers, therapists, & coaches with big dreams
Don't despair! Instead, become an embodied boundary explorer and discover your own creative super powers.
While it may seem like time is the problem, the real issue is often boundaries.
Foundational self-awareness skills are so basic, we assume everyone has them. We judge ourselves for struggling with them too.
You may have learned them in your training, but never had a chance to really apply them in real life. It takes more practice than most folks would like to admit.
We'll be building those fundamental skills in the workshop and supporting each other in putting ourselves first in our physical awareness - even when talking to each other.
You will use those same skills to make boundaries around a personal embodiment practice and creative project for 4 weeks - a short, manageable amount of time, but one that is long enough to potentially change your schedule permanently.
We are the ones giving time to certain people and situations. We are the ones saying yes I will, or no I won’t. No, however, is one of the most physically difficult words to say!
The word “no” brings up feelings like:
- Guilt about letting people down
- Fear that we'll be put down or attacked
- Worry we will lose something (usually relationships or money)
- Fear of the empty space no longer occupied by “all the shiny things"
Saying no to ourselves has ramifications too. No space for us means no air, no fun, no energy and no change. It’s a pickle! So why not experiment with choosing ourselves, and see what happens?
In this course, you will gain practical experience with choosing a focus and sticking to it. You will start making time and space for what is really important to you, guaranteed.
You'll have fellow travelers to help you be accountable for showing up, discovering what's holding you back, and creating strategies for the necessary change tailored to your specific situation.
You’ll learn how to say yes to yourself and no to others, even if you love them. You will create, with our help, time for dreaming and manifesting your vision. This, also, is a powerful way of expressing love.
Each class is one step in the right direction:
Class 1: Name your dream project
Name your dream, choose your focus! What do you want to make special time for? Centering your own health and wellness practices, starting a creative project, planning an important event? Anything goes. It's your dream. What are you willing to let go of to make the time?
Learn the 7 Awareness Preludes which can be applied solo or in the presence of others.
Class 2: Commit to your dream project
Commit to a sustainable, regular time to work on your chosen dream for the duration of the workshop. (Hint: no perfection required. The commitment functions to reveal challenges and difficulties, so you can get help :-).
Create an enhanced embodiment practice to bookend the work on your dream project with Mobile Body Alignment Points and Cranial Nerve Sequencing practices that I've created.
Class 3: Face the challenges
Share the difficulties and joys around your commitment to practice; get support and creative solutions from Clare and the group.
Be accountable to the group not for perfection, but for showing up for yourself and being willing to experience your sensations and emotions, articulate your discoveries, and recognize the blocks that arise.
Class 4: Celebrate your discoveries
You'll have created a personal embodiment practice to bookend creative work time.
You'll have discovered road blocks and designed ways to move through them.
You'll articulate and celebrate your unique personal discoveries and victories; reflect on what has been learned with the group and benefit from the unique discoveries of each participant.
Become a boundary explorer!
I teach simple, fundamental, embodiment practices rooted in the Alexander Technique and informed by 40 years of professional dance and somatic learning. I'm dedicated to supporting teachers, coaches, and therapists who have a vision of a more embodied culture realize their dreams and discover their unique gifts which are so needed in this world.
What workshop participants are saying:
"It’s so good to have a sense of self when I’m a round other people, and still be connected. I feel like it’s happening organically as I go through the course. I’m able to find more space inside and outside myself. It’s easier for me to see where someone ends, and I begin. It’s easier to notice somebody’s energy, and it doesn’t have to be my energy."

Testimonials
Clare has a creative and playful way of teaching online that gets people out of their zoom boxes and into in their body. Her ability to help me find the same ease I found with hands-on work in person was truly profound. Her work is a testament to how subtle changes can have such big ripple effects.
Madeline Schwarz
Communication Coach for Introverts
Clare is a body whisperer. I’ve been working with her during the COVID pandemic through my recovery from multiple brain surgeries and spinal meningitis. Our work together has been an important part of my healing journey, providing me with more tools for working with my nervous system and welcoming more ease into the day. Just thinking about our sessions relaxes and grounds me.
