Claire M. Perkins is the founder of Intuitive Journey, a personal evolution coach and author of The Deep Water Leaf Society.
Claire earned her Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies degree in Religious Studies and Philosophy at Arizona State University. She trained as a Transformational Life Coach at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, is a Certified Creative Journal Expressive Arts Instructor, and has completed Level II Dream Teacher Training with shamanic dreamer Robert Moss.
A gifted dreamer since childhood, Claire has mastered the art of dream exploration and interpretation. Dreams have unfailingly guided her and helped her to navigate life happily and successfully. When she lost her oldest son to substance abuse, Claire discovered a deeper level to dreaming: in dreams she could continue to communicate and heal her relationship with her son. She shares her healing journey in her new book, The Deep Water Leaf Society: Harnessing the Transformative Power of Grief, which will be available in September 2008.
Claire has been teaching dream workshops, leading dream groups, and providing one-on-one dream coaching for over 10 years. Her approach to dreamwork is eclectic and includes the use of shamanic practices, expressive arts, journaling, dramatization, body movement, and dialogue with dream characters and objects. She will never provide a "cookie-cutter" interpretation of your dream. Rather than telling you what your dream means, she will help you to find your own answer to that question with fun and enlightening practices.
When you discover the world of dreams, you discover a rich source of wisdom and healing that can always be trusted. Please visit www.IntuitiveJourney.com for more information.
A dream that has not been interpreted is like a letter that has not been opened.
