self expression workshops
Next Workshop: Solstice Workshop (18th December)
Self expression workshops are weekend events, and they may be organised by me or through another organisation. They are opportunity to leave the real world behind and enter into the fabulous world of myth, larger than life characters and experiences. A safe haven to:
find your voice
express your emotions
free your spirit
unlock your creativity
Each workshop will have have a theme – but the theme in many ways is irrelevant - because the nature of the work means that you will work on whatever issue is most prominent in your life right now. A theme that initially does not have much appeal to you may in fact be just the thing that you need to work on!
Next Workshop
Solstice Workshop (18th December)
Special Promotion for Winter
Do you often feel in a limbo at this time of year? The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year and the longest night and literally means – “sun standing still”. It is a time when the sun stands still between the death of the old sun and the birth of the new sun/son. And its very easy to see the parallels with Christmas and the birth of a new son.
Explore how in Celtic tradition, the solstice is a time when the power of darkness is honoured and in which the principles of male and female are celebrated. Celebrate the solstice in this self expression workshop calling forth the power of the imagination and the Celtic Soul – delving into the darkness to release the magic and give birth to a new dawn.

GENERAL BENEFITS OF WORKSHOPS
You are most likely to benefit from a workshop if:
- You feel restricted, inhibited. You want to hold back less often and more completely express your passion, magic and joy of being alive.
- You want to get out of your head, have more fun, feel more alive and and live your life more in creative flow.
- You want to get better at performing or standing up in front of groups – to inspire people through the power of your words and presence.
- You feel a deep desire to express your creativity but you feel blocked from expressing yourself. Your career or lifestyle offers few outlets for self-expression.
- You’ve been through a challenging time and have been battling with emotional stress, depression, and/or low energy. Or you’re stuck in a rut and can’t seem to get out of it and know you need to “do” something radical to shift it.
- You’ve participated in previous workshops, and you know what powerful shifts you have been able to make. You are feeling called to do more work or to move to the next level, and to be in the company of kindred spirits who will empower you to break through any barriers that might be in your way.

MORE ABOUT HOW IT WORKS
Each workshop will usually focus around a myth or theme – that mirrors the issues that you are currently facing in your life. In typical workshop we will be diving into mythic adventure, of monsters and heroes. Over the course of the workshop, you will be invited to transform yourself into a whole cast of characters that will enable you to express parts of yourself that you don’t have much opportunity to access in your every day life.
Working with myth is powerful way to transform inner blockages, get to the heart of the patterns that have kept you stuck in old roles and modes of behaviour.
For a while this may feel that you’re just having fun.….. but something very powerful is happening too. You are releasing the suppressed emotion that lies buried within you, and as a result liberating parts of yourself that have been locked away.
Most workshops are limited to eight people, and this means that you will build up a strong level of trust with a small group of people who are 100% in support of you making a significant shift in an important area of your life. This makes the workshop a very safe place to explore any area where you are stuck. And you will also be able to work much more deeply and at an individual level.
Then watch your life begin to transform in magical and unexpected ways, old emotional baggage and patterns simply melt away.
Workshops are designed also to support people who have participated in my other groups and courses who want to reconnect with the creative magic, or want to move to the next level on their journey or feel it’s time to did another workshop. It is also a good way to reconnect with people you’ve met on other groups and workshops – as many people find this a good way of supporting their growth and development.
If you are not sure if a workshop is right for you – drop me a line or give me a call.

“I am still swimming in a sea of good feelings!!! I think I was brought back to life after a very long sleep…” J.S. Lawyer
I was a painfully shy child, had a traumatic childhood and young adulthood, and was not able to be comfortable being seen or heard. I was afraid of expressing myself and was uncomfortable speaking in public. Claire’s expertise in creating the perfect personalized drama therapy session for each specific individual’s need worked for me to help dissolve what was a life-long handicap. I had spent over one hundred thousand dollars over twenty years of personal therapy for these trauma issues in my life, and Claire’s workshop was a more dramatic and beneficial change in my psyche than talk therapy had been.

http://www.awakened-mind.comI had a very strange two weeks after your workshop… with barely any time to sit down and contemplate anything! Two of my films were nominated for two different awards in the space of a week! One was showing in a festival and was nominated for the best newcomer award there and the other got to the 12 finalists in an online competition of hundreds of entries. Over that whole month so many amazing things happened around my work that I felt it was the law of attraction working for me! Something which I was never sure I believed in before. Afterwards I was thinking about Icarus and how happy I felt in the workshop, what great fun it was (and also scary) to lead the group in the moment.

I received tremendously from the workshop – thank you, thank you, thank you – it’s different approach to what I’ve ever tried and I liked the fun and realness of it – feel enriched by it. It was a powerful, deep and very allowing space - experienced depths of feelings within and felt able to explore madness and ecstasy. S.G. Healer
Over the last weekend, I was taken back to the time I went on Inana’s journey with you before. It meant so much to me. It helped me revalue my life. That journey through darkness had both delicacy and deadliness, it touched my heart. There have always been moments springing from the work you do that are beyond anything else, that justify being alive. Over the weekend I recognised that a strong healing force had swept through me. I had been revived again. I cried with relief and sorrow for the dead part of myself. T.S. Teacher
Not sure? It is very natural to have concerns, particularly if you’ve just discovered this website, haven’t yet met me or experienced any other event.
This may be because you want to know more about what’s entailed (see how it works) or have more questions or you’re wondering who gets the most out of it. Quite understandably if you are new to this you don’t want to commit yourself to something that might turn out to be a waste of time and money.

Previous Workshops: Dancing in the Flames
We burn Guy Fawkes on 5th November. Dancing in the Flames is also the title of a wonderful book and film featuring Marion Woodman about the power of symbolic death and rebirth – of “dying into life”. Explore the power of fire to bring about transformation and new life in this weekend self expression workshop. And for the phoenix to rise out of the ashes reborn.
Are there experiences, situations or issues that you would like to release into the fire so you can move forward with a light heart and renewed spirit?
