Intentional Creativity

Workshops, Classes & Retreats

Through workshops, classes and retreats, I offer support to people who are seeking to understand themselves better so they can intentionally create a life of meaning and purpose.  Using a variety of tools, I will be your guide, as together, we uncover your discovery process. This reveals, not only what stands in the way of illuminating a clear direction for you, but also your gifts and talents, desires and dreams.  

With Metacognitive Drawing, painting, astrology, coaching, art supplies, I will assist you in creating a compassionate, creative approach to finding and sticking to your path of healing and self discovery. This process can lead you to living a life that is more satisfying, and supports you in improving relationships with yourself and others. 

Cultivate joy and a richer life experience ~ No Artistic Talent required - My style is warm and caring.  I have the ability to see the humor in our human foibles.  This is not a journey of perfectionism. It is a journey of Self discovery using creativity to tap into aspects of your inner knowing that can’t be accessed through simply talking.  

I look forward to working with you. Let’s do this!

Reflections on Clair’s classes and workshops:

Clair Oaks' Intentional Creativity workshop "Repairing Our Relationship with Our Bodies" was nothing short of excellent. Clair's skillful, compassionate, grounded leadership set a tone that encouraged all of us participants to explore our feelings and beliefs about our bodies through the lens of our creative process. Every detail was thoughtful and beautiful - from the powerful curated music we painted along with to the evocative journaling prompts. Clair's deep familiarity with her own psycho-spiritual creative process informs her inviting, clear facilitation. I walked away with many insights and a renewed commitment to make choices for a more loving relationship with my own aging body. - R.C.

Dear Clair,

I just wanted to write and let you know how meaningful your retreat/workshop was this past weekend. Your attention to all of the details to create a sacred and intentional space was so nurturing. You really have a way of setting the stage for powerful work to be done. I felt like your timing was perfect. I didn't feel rushed or like there was too much lull between prompts. Whenever I had a question, you answered it well and I felt like I had a better understanding of the material. My relationship with my body is complex and it was challenging to be vulnerable about it, but I found myself wanting to open up not only to grow myself, but to be a full participant with the other women while discussing the issues you were bringing forward. It felt so good to be at the canvas and to have every brush I needed on hand. This felt like one of those experiences that will keep on working its way in me long after our time together is over.

Thank-you again for a beautiful weekend. B.T.
