about claire
Claire Turcotte is a writer, painter and
practitioner and teacher of Dream Work.
She has
worked 20 years in Jungian dreamwork/studies, 40 years in the
Arts, Mysticism, and Indigenous healing wisdom. Her courses are
based on her life work and experiential learning, her work with
healing the Feminine, and her natural familiarity with shamanic
and tribal knowledge and practice. She has practiced and
developed her work in Buddhist and Christian meditation, dreams
and healing art.
In the early 90’s, with the
encouragement of Bill and Irene Beer, Claire opened the Corinne
Centre in Peterborough, where she taught courses in Jungian
dreamwork, creativity and healing the Feminine. Her work with
clients includes working with depression, meaninglessness,
chronic illness, gender issues, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome,
transitions, aging, grief and loss of soul. Claire is a Reiki
Master and practitioner. You can work with Claire by phone from
anywhere in Canada or USA with no phone costs.* does not include

Claire has been published in various magazines
and periodicals and her art can be found in collections in
Britain, Germany, USA and Canada. In 2006, Claire published her
book, The Woman Who Could See In All Directions At The Same
Time. Today, she finds inspiration for her art and writing in
the Pacific Coast where she lives on Vancouver Island. She
continues her work with dreams. She fears she is developing a
Rainforest brain.
creative life
Claire lived on a small farm with her family in the seventies,
raising sheep, bees, chickens, cows, gathering herbs and working
an immense garden. She painted in her log cabin studio. In the
early eighties her work was discovered by a patron of the arts
who purchased more than 200 of her works. She and Jorge
Etcheverry founded a small publishing press, Split Quotation
in 1985, and she went on to exhibit her art in more than 35
shows from 83-87. In the early nineties, Claire opened a centre
for women, taught courses and managed a dream counselling and
Reiki practice. When illness forced her retirement she moved to
British Columbia to recover in a small cabin in the BC Interior.
It was here that The Woman Who Could See In All Directions At
The Same Time was conceived. And it was here that her work
with the Feminine and healing dreams came fully into form.
