Ann-Clarke Bailey
Ann-Clarke’s offering revolves around the reciprocity of relationship: a practice in which she explores devotion to the medicine of how we relate to ourselves, other and the natural world. Ann Clarke has a Masters in Transpersonal Counseling from Naropa University as well as a Masters in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica. Her background in Psychology and Counseling have been part of her deep exploration and desire to understand what it is to be human. However, nature has been her most profound teacher throughout this process, which began with one simple and sweet embrace with a rescue cow in 2011. This sacred connection was a gateway to self-compassion and an experience of joy and love that Ann-Clarke had never felt before. It has been a guiding and inspirational moment in her work to this day. Connecting with the spirit of Tea, training in Gestalt Equine Therapy, and learning how to steward a beautiful and wild property in Lyons continue to inspire an evolving practice of “relating” for Ann-Clarke to share with her community.
