Dr. Claudia Rosane Correa Quick Facts
Main Areas: Applied linguistics, Sociology of Education, critical pedagogy, integral studies, postmodern approaches, dialectical collective unconsciousness, and transpersonal psychologyCareer Focus: Writer, transpersonal education researcher, theorist, professor, founder of the Project for Integral Self-Transcendence Education
Among articles and essays, Dr. Claudia Correa is the author of Is there hope for unity consciousness in the age of collective dialectics delusion? A dialogue among Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy, the discourses of the undocumented individual and postmodern madness, to be released early 2010.
She has taught children, young adults, and graduate students. She has also taught in teacher education programs and graduate school of education. She believes that school teachers should be life coaches in order to help empower children to unleash their potential and uniqueness. She firmly believes that energy and transpersonal psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, and integral theory should be heavily inserted in the teaching education curriculum.
Dr. Correa is the founder and director of Institute for Self-Transcendent Education, which promotes pure consciousness-based education -- education for self-mastery and self-healing -- or as she likes to call it, "Education that heals the split-off psyche and mends our relationship with Self and the world by making the unconscious conscious". Claudia is also the creator of The Integral Self-Transcendent Education Project Global Network
"Inside every stone is a crystal. Inside every man and woman is an alchemist." (The Integral Education Project vision)
In mentoring integral education (self-transcendent education), Dr. Correa agrees with Albert Einstein that, "You cannot solve problems with the same level of thinking that existed when the problems were created."
She believes that a consciousness shift or an evolutionary developmental leap from dialectical worldview to integral consciousness can bring about lasting positive changes (planetary, social healing). Education is therefore a journey of self-transcendence, self-discovery, and self-mastery not reduced to a school building.
In October 2008, Dr. Correa launched Strugglers Anomymous (SA), a project designed to provide emotional healing (integral education) and re-empowerment support groups to those deep in debt or with little financial resources. SA is a 24 week emotional liberation and re-integration program built on Dr. Correa's Path of the Heart principles.
To Dr. Correa, the healing power of integral education lies in its empowering people to unconditionally love, honor, appreciate and accept themselves and others for who they are. Healing begins with the practice of self-acceptance. "Integral education is aimed at releasing the fear of the other (person) and our shadowy selves. I equate awakening (mind integration) with mind over matter and Heart over both (mind and matter) separation illusions."(Correa, the Path of the Heart Teachings & the Return to Innocence, 2008)
Dr. Correa's early scholarly research is mainly focused on critical pedagogy and the psychology of oppression in Postmodernity. Since early 2008, she has been studying the psychological stages of human development, especially the developmental stage called "integral/Oneness consciousness." Dr. Correa's current research is focused on the awakening of what she terms as "Holistic, Integral Intelligence."

Dr. Claudia Correa holds a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree and is presently working on a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with emphasis on transpersonal psychology.
"No one who lives in fear is truly alive. The only self-mastery is through Love. The split mind can only be healed through Love." (Claudia Correa in Heart Speaks)
"You reality is what your perceptions make of it. Heal your perceptions, and your reality will be healed. Beauty is the eye of the beholder, and so is ugliness."(Claudia Correa in the Path of the Heart seminar)
What is the Integral Education Project?
Man, know thyself.
The IEP was created to facilitate planetary healing from the inside out, one person at a time. The IEP defines emotional healing as a shift in awareness -- from the dialectics mentality (the perception of Reality as a separation between the parts and the Whole) to ONE-ness consciousness (interconnectedness worldview).
Genuine education helps people take charge of their lives
The IEP is grounded in one basic premise -- that every human being is a unique gift to the world and yet interconnected with the Whole. At the subatomic level we are all interconnected, interrelated and integrated parts of the Whole. The IEP self- empowerment programs guide people in the processes of re-discovering their uniqueness and finding an outlet for the talents that make them unlike anyone else.
The IEP Self-Empowerment Programs include:
The Path of the Heart Teachings (ongoing series) Overview: The path of the heart is the path of self-rediscovery. These are the teachings of the journey back to Heart. The heart is a metaphor for Interconnectedness (ONE-ness/Integral) Consciousness. Nature abides by the path of the heart principles of uniqueness or singularity and interdependency, and she is doing just fine, ever expanding. Format: Seminars, workshops and tele-classes.
Each of us has a unique contribution to make to the world.
Parent & Child Whole-listic Education Coaching Overview: Many people confuse codependency (bondage, attachment, or infatuation) with love. Attachment -- addiction to people, places and things-- is the root cause for suffering. Genuine love is the practice of detachment. We can only give to others what we bountifully have. To love someone else, we must first love ourselves. To forgive or accept someone else, we must first forgive and accept ourselves. Our beliefs about ourselves are what really matter.
Parent & Child Whole-listic Coaching is designed to help both the parent and child restore self-love and self-acceptance so that they can begin to love and accept each other for what they are, without expectations and conditions. Self-love and self- acceptance is what makes people achieve the impossible. Format: Seminar series and local and over the phone private coaching sessions.
Strugglers Anonymous (SA)Re-empowerment Education Overview: Compulsive shopping or spending is an addictive and self-destructive behavior that can sabotage growth in all areas of life. SA is a 24-week program designed to offer emotional healing and re-empowerment guidance to compulsive shoppers or those deep in debt or with little resources in a financial crisis. To enroll in SA, the candidate is required to first attend the 5-hour introductory seminar “Financial Literacy & Emotional Healing in Financial Crises.” Format: Seminars and weekly group coaching sessions.
Weekend Re-empowerment Seminars & Retreats Overview: We are the only person responsible for our own joy or frustrations. Both happiness and sadness are a matter of personal choice. People will only push our buttons or drain us if we choose to allow them to. At the IEP transformation seminars, people learn how to take charge of their own lives, releasing emotional wounds and limitation beliefs. When hidden emotional triggers are identified and released and emotions related to painful memories are healed, dramatic changes can happen.
Self -discovery is our birthright
The 3-hour Vigil for World Healing
Overview: On the first Sunday of the month (1:00-3:00PM Pacific Time), people from all over the world, from all walks of life and spiritual beliefs, come together for a vigil for world healing on the IEP social network.
Self-empowerment Tele-classes Overview: The IEP offers four free tele-classes per quarter. The Path of the Heart Teachings series, as well as the Strugglers Anonymous Overview Seminar, are on the Internet. Format: Quarterly schedule.
Self-Empowerment Coaching-Education Overview: Emotional healing begins when the unconscious is made conscious. We must first accept what it is for what it is if we want to create lasting changes in our lives. Only when we unconditionally embrace what it is, we can re-empower our-Selves. Healing takes place when we re-integrate parts of our-Selves. Self-forgiveness and self-acceptance are crucial to the healing process. When we shift our perceptions of people, places and events, everything around us begins to change. “Beauty is the eye of the beholder.” Ugliness is also in the eye of the beholder.
Format: Private sessions locally or over the phone.
Everyone is a reflection of us. What we see in one another, we see in ourselves. What we do to one another, we do to ourselves.

1. Transformation Seminars and Parent Child Life Coaching
Presented by Dr. Claudia Correa
We create our own experiences. Personal responsibility is living our lives according to ourselves, rather than according to others. Change your attitude, and you will change the relationship you have with the world. The relationship we have with ourselves (our inner child) determines the quality of the relationship we have with our loved ones, co-workers, neighbors, and the world.
The Integral Education evening and weekend empowering parenting consciousness and transformation seminars and workshops are aimed at enhancing participants’ awareness of the crucial role they play as parents and adults in the life of a child. Participants are challenged to see the world through the eyes of children. They will stretch outside of their comfort zone. School teachers and administrators are welcome to attend. People leave our seminars and workshops reenergized and with a yes-I-can attitude, empowered to make lasting, positive changes in their lives. Each seminar includes a combination of lectures, Q & A sessions, and discussions. The workshops include a series of life strategies, intrapersonal and interpersonal activities, and NLP models that will help participants to unhook from emotional connection to limiting beliefs and behaviors. IEP's commitment: to mentor parents in raising creative, self-empowered, emotionally healthy human beings.

2. THE PATH OF THE HEART TEACHINGS (Intro)
The Integral Education Project
Presented by Dr. Claudia Correa
Are you stuck in a job or relationship that is going nowhere? Do you feel you have being held hostage of your past or your worries about the future? Have you been playing the same stories inside of your head over and over? Do you feel you are running on automatic pilot? Do you feel drained and fragmented? Do you feel the dialectics Matrix (Dialectical Collective Unconsciousness) is living your life for you?
Addiction to drama...theme-against-them perception of Reality...the illusion of separation between the parts and the Whole... fears... 3D limitation beliefs...are mind games which have held you back and sabotage your growth.
Whatif you had the opportunity to override past and future illusions? What if you could unplug yourself from the Matrix? There is a place where the illusion of matter and the time-space continuum mind perceptions vanish, and you are healed from what you are not. You are not the labels the dialectics Matrix has given you. In the Heart of All Things you remember who you are. On the Path of the heart, you are re-empowered to create true love, freedom,beauty, and joy.
Specific changes attributed to the The Path of Heart Teachings include:
* Ending codependent relationships
* Overcoming addictive behaviors
* Letting go of the past
* Embracing positive lasting changes in different areas of life
* Rediscovering a stillness state of being
* Self-empowerment and sovereignty
You may ask, how is it that these teachings could bring about healing? The Path of the Heart Teachings guide you in becoming aware of Heart-Source, Oneness Consciousness (eternal Here-Now), making the unconscious conscious. Healing begins when you accept your illusions.You first need to accept that which you are not in order to become aware of that which you are. It is in the Heart of All Things that you re-integrate yourself to become whole again. This is a series about the shift from dialectical thinking to Unity Consciousness. This is a series on manifesting Reality from Heart rather than from Mind.

Learn how to turn struggles into victories http://strugglersanonymous.ning.com/
Presented by Dr. Claudia Correa
Have debt collectors or bills ever kept you awaken at night? Have you ever worried about not having enough money to pay the bills at the end of the month? Are you falling behind with your financial obligations? Have you been afraid of answering the phone or opening your mail lately? Are you being held hostage by a fear of debt collectors? Have you ever felt like vanishing so that you would not have to deal with the collections department? Have you ever spent more than you earn? Do you feel you have been living beyond your means? Are you a compulsive shopper? Does shopping help you release your anxieties or boredom? Do you believe that you are what you have? Have you ever replaced affection by material gifts? Don't despair. There is still light at end of the tunnel.
Fear... anxiety.... boredom... depression... low self-esteem... denial... and financial illiteracy can turn into a deadly combination especially when the economy is in recession.
Compulsive spending (“emotional shopping”) is an addictive and self-destructive behavior. This behavior can destroy relationships and sabotage your growth in all areas of your life.
What if you could turn your financial struggles into an opportunity for growth? You see, your financial struggles are symptoms of deep emotional wounds. Once these wounds are healed, you will be able to get not only your finances but also your life back on track. You can either choose to ignore your addictions and fears or face them. Healing begins with self-acceptance.
Through this weekend seminar, you will restore self-love, self-acceptance and self-confidence to turn your finances around. You will be able to identify and release the saboteurs that have thrust and kept you in financial hardship or financial delinquency. This is self-empowerment!

• self-confidence to talk to creditors & bill collectors

The secret of the ages kept from the masses is that consciousness creates reality. The root cause of three-dimensional oppression is the illusion of separateness consuming the minds of Men. With the awakening of critical-unity consciousness, now dormant in the minds of the masses and the herdsman, oppression can be permanently eradicated from the planet. Critical-unity consciousness can set men and women free from the dialectics mentality, the real cause of external oppression. Oppression begins in the heads of Men, so its eradication must also first take place inside of the heads of both the oppressor and the oppressed. The world without, which is the dialectics prison matrix, is the manifestation of the world within, the dialectical belief system in the minds of Men. To heal the world without, it is paramount to first heal the world within. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness....?)
Humanity as a "species" is headed for certain extinction as long as people continue to insist on separateness and competition. There are no real winners but losers in competition and separateness. Competition implies a dialectical struggle motivated by the survival instinct not of the Whole but that of a particular group or a single individual. Sooner or later, the destruction and death of the Whole will result. The competitive mindset carries within itself the seed of death, whereas unity-oneness consciousness is a creative power that can lead Men to the continuous creation of more life for all. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness...?)
The dialectical mind is trapped in the illusion of its separateness from the rest. Dialectical-minded individuals are profoundly identified with the five senses, the body, the ego (the left brain, linear thinking), and in most cases with the “truths” held by their tribe or subculture. Due to this separateness complex, dialectical individuals live under constant perceived struggles against one another and against the planet itself. It is from this continuous struggle for survival that the us-against-them mindset emerges. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness...?)
True joy comes from Within (from Heart), not from Without (the mind perceptions of Reality). Heart is the source of true joy, abundance, freedom, love, peace, and beauty. Happiness born from an external source (outer, three-dimension density) is an illusion (a perception) of happiness. True happiness is found Within. Heaven is in the heart space. In the heart behind our hearts, we are already living in wonderful times. (Claudia Correa, Piercing the Veil of Maya, 2008)
Trapped in the you-are-what-you-have delusion, postmodern individuals are oblivious to the real causes of their dehumanized condition: a perceived (a false) separation from one another and their environment. People begin to negate their humanity at the very moment they begin to identify others and themselves according to labels of race, gender, class, political and religious affiliation, etc. In the mind of the contemporary person is an endless number of boxes and files with labels for every condition, person, and object. The files and boxes are labeled according to the information the individual gathers from years of exposure to corporate education and mass media , as well as institutionalized vehicles designed to perpetuate the dialectics matrix. In some cases, a person’s consciousness may be fragmented to the extent that he or she is completely unaware of his or her own dehumanization. Under such circumstances, the individual becomes a postmodern zombie. Individuals become a mindless body when they have their innate faculty (and birthright) to consciously create reality castrated. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness...?)
Mahatma Gandhi once said, "You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind." I say, "You can chain me, you can torture me, you can destroy this body, but you will never imprison my HEART". (Claudia Correa, 2008)
Oppression exists only in the victim mentality of the oppressed. There is a symbiotic (quasi codependent) relationship between victimizers and their victims. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness...?)
Obsession with the evildoings of hegemonic powers and with who is hurting who within the matrix will not eradicate oppression. The resistance movements are already doing that. To try to rescue those around us from their oppression mindset by politically attacking them will not help eradicate oppression either. To attempt to force people out of the matrix through means of conversion,radicalism, and fanaticism will not remove oppression. On the contrary, this will only reinforce oppression. Indoctrination can only foster more polarization and confusion, and the world does not need more fragmentation. The only system that profits from a fragmented society is the dialectics matrix.Rather than trying to mend the System, we must begin mending the world within. Each one of us must incarnate the changes we want to see manifested on the face of the Earth. This is all that every person can in fact do in order to neutralize the matrix. The critically emancipated person is in a space of neutrality. He is capable of understanding that ignorance is bliss for most of the people imprisoned in dialectics mental conditioning. If these individuals do not want to let go of the chains of oppression (dialectical struggles and dramas), it is their birthright to choose not to do so. For some, the matrix may represent a comfort zone. They feel safe in the Known. They may be too scared to leave the Matrix and step into the Unknown. The emancipated person will refrain from engaging in controversies, for whenever we become entangled in polarization we place our minds back into the matrix womb. The self-empowered person will speak Truth and be true to himself. He is not entitled to infringe upon another person’s freewill. In fact, no one is entitled to restrict another human being’s freewill. To usurp someone else’s freewill is dehumanization. (Claudia Correa, Book excerpt, Is there Hope for Unit Consciousness...?)
As long as we insist on defining ourselves and the world according to what we see, smell, taste, feel, and hear, we will remain fragmented. We will continue to perpetuate the separation mentality. We will continue trapped in drama. We must let go of that we are not. We are not drama. We are not the limitation beliefs. We are not fear. Much of our truths (the thoughts we have), do not belong to us. They are implanted perceptions of Reality and ourselves. There is no past. There is no future. We will never be anywhere but Here and Now (the spacelessness and timelessness reality). The Here-Now is Stillness reality, where the rational mind will become silent, and Heart will speak.
In addition to seminars and workshops, Dr. Claudia Correa maintains an active private life coaching practice locally and over the phone. She mentors positive change for her clients applying hemispheric integration techniques and The Path of the Heart teachings.
