The online course will take place between January 10th and April 18th, covering ten modules designed to stir new SELF awareness through critical thinking.  Each person attending the course will receive login credentials to join the course and online community.  All module lessons (videos and download exercises and documents) will be found there.  Links for group calls and weekly homework sessions will be there as well, along with information about travel and the in-person camp.  You may receive email reminders and notifications from time to time as well.

All events for the online course will be posted in Eastern Standard time. You will need to calculate the adjustment to your time zone. Events happening in France will be posted in CET (Central European time), so that you will know the time while we are there. Please feel free to confirm with us if you have questions on this.

The camp will kick off with a welcome reception where ladies who have  completed the online training come together to meet in person.  Over the following days we will have training sessions, creative projects, local tours, and free time to relax in the gardens, forest, and health spa around the castle grounds.  Projects will include material workshops and creative exercises to lock in the learning and facilitate designing our futures.  We encourage campers to meet and hang out around the town and to bounce thoughts and ideas off one another.  Much of building your new self-awareness will come from connecting with others in the group in a location that takes you out or what’s familiar.  We will have opportunities to do sightseeing together as a group and individually at your leisure.

Registration into the Online Only Clarity Course includes: A ten module online course, five group calls, weekly virtual homework sessions, and an online community of people sharing your journey.

Registration into the Clarity Course & Camp includes:  Everything that comes with the online course, plus a private room for five nights in a luxury 4-star castle hotel, 3 meals per day, onsite training at the camp (see agenda for details), local day trip activities, and time to enjoy around the castle and the surrounding area.  We will provide information for preferred group hotels and activities for those who choose to stay in Paris pre/post the camp dates.  (Community members for previous cohorts had a blast hanging out together like this.)

The in-person camp will take place in a private castle hotel, just outside of Paris, near the town of Chantilly.  A newly renovated 4-star luxury hotel devoted to nature and well being with a divine spa and lovely grounds.  Each attendee will have their own private accommodations to allow for alone time to reflect and integrate the daily lessons.  We encourage each member of the group to discover the beauty of themselves as they discover the beauty of their surroundings.

This newly renovated castle is an ideal place to treat yourself like a queen, while surrounding yourself in the down to earth natural elements.  This hidden gem was built by the Rothchild family.  It was occupied by the Germans during WWII.  It became  a convent and school post war.  And a vocational school of the arts in the late 1960s.

It could be said that the chateau kept her core identity throughout these reiterations, much like we will learn to honor our true self as our expression evolves in our next chapter.

By taking us out of famililar and busy environments, we see ourselves newly and can relax a bit more.  That tends to have people find new possibilities and connect with their clarity.

It will be difficult to make full use of the castle and it’s facilities for someone who is wheelchair bound. The hotel and it’s rooms are modern (with historic decor and architecture), including well functioning elevators, though some stairs will be required.  I conducted a site inspection of the property while recovering from foot surgery and it was not a simple feat.  Unfortunately, I don’t think this is a good option for those with mobility issues.

The course & camp is by invitation only because it is important to maintain an intimate and private environment for the level of transformation we will be doing. We are looking for the right blend of sisterhood to learn together and support each other through this vulnerable journey.  It is designed for people who are ready, and have the time, to take a deep dive into the nooks and crannies of their identities and come out with a powerful new view of themselves. This course is not for sissies!  It is high level and rigorous, best suited for people who are already on a path of self inquiry.

Yes!  She wouldn’t miss it for the world.  In addition to leading the online course group calls with all participants, Colleen will be onsite throughout the full camp dates.  She created the course.  While weekly homework sessions will be lead by Perspective Education partner, Theresa, along with Alumni mentors, it is Colleen who will deliver the videos in each module. She will lead the group calls and will run the training sessions at the in-person camp.  She loves these conversations, and she loves talking with people who are going through this journey.  She looks forward to meeting the ladies and hanging out together at the castle in the forest.

Absolutely!  The 10 module online course is complete.  It includes engagement with Colleen and other members of the course community before, during and after the modules. You will have access to the materials and the community after the current session is complete. There are live co-homework sessions that help to lock in learning along the way.  Also future travel opportunities, and access to the Clarity Forward Advanced Course are only available for alumni students.  No two people start the journey from the same place.  But the feedback shows that a new sense of confidence, freedom, peace of mind, and understanding of yourself and your place in the world are common outcomes.  And that’s the best place to design your next chapter from.

Those taking the online only course will be welcome to join the Alumni program in the following year.

Absolutely not! The camp was created to be a place where women on the same journey of self discovery can come together in sisterhood.  It is designed to complete and expand the work begun in the online course and lock in that learning. Participation in the course is curated to make sure all who attend are in a safe environment for the level of personal work we will be doing.

The camp is where we can bring insights and new perspective to completion.  And, of course, to celebrate in community and sisterhood our new found self expression. It simply doesn’t make sense to join the camp without the pre-requisite context.

The straight answer is a couple of hours per week.  Each lesson is made up of short videos (approx 10 min each), exercises and worksheets to organize the thoughts the videos inspire.  We have found that it’s best to listen to the videos once WITHOUT attempting to do the exercises (approx 30-40 minutes).  You can do this while driving, running, or doing the dishes.  Then sit down when you’re ready to do the work and listen again with pen in hand.  While the modules can be done in a couple of hours per week, we have found that the course works on you as much as you work on the course. That is to say that it is likely that you will be thinking and noticing things in your day to day life that reinforce messages from the training.  Let it work on you throughout the week.  Participating in the co-homework virtual sessions will add one hour per week.

No.  This is a philosophic course designed to transform the way we think and see ourselves around the topic of identity and self awareness. It is based on observation, introspection, critical thinking and analysis in the area of self awareness.  It is NOT therapy, neither Colleen, nor the Perspective Education team are therapist or mental health professionals of any kind.  We are philosophers and educators.  Both the course and camp are designed for people who are psychologically and emotionally healthy and are ready and interested in new ways to look at themselves and their lives.  If you are currently working with a mental health professional, please check with them before applying.
