My Approach
For most people learning a language is a difficult task, mostly because it is demanding of our time and brings us to constantly face our limitations. But the often forgotten original purpose of languages is to connect, communicate and share in each other's life, and those are joyful, enriching and stimulating things to do.
Often, the most joyful and meaningful moments in our lives are when we are present, connected to others and simply being who we are. Those moments are essential to help us reconnect to our essence and to get to know the whole of who we are. They give us the experience of what is truly possible. But to achieve that we need to move past our limitations and learn to trust our learning process. As a teacher and psychosynthesis coach, my work is to help you move beyond the blocks, fears, and limitations keeping you from learning, expanding and enjoying being truly yourself... en français, and in any languages !
Claude knows how to follow the flow of the students and lead the subjects into deeper and meaningful conversations. I also love her use of psychosynthesis guided imagery to open me to my inner wisdom and inspire me until the next class or even longer. Claude exceeds all expectation that I ever had about a French class, her classes are an enriching experience at every level.
Why is the French Language Particularly Suitable for Inner and Outer Explorations?
The French language is beautiful yet complex, the grammar is torturous, the spelling a nightmare and the verbs a maze almost impossible to leave. In other words, French is the perfect playground to use creativity to face challenges and develop true joy at meeting them. Joy is what makes life precious, and creativity is what helps us see the world with new eyes. But, creativity is also the force allowing the human brain to develop, consequently it is how human beings learn new ways to learn, evolve and expand.
When joy and creativity are integral parts of a supportive learning environment, where deep connection and communication are seen as essential, everything is ready for the French language to become an exciting and practical tool to help you discover, expand and blossom in all aspects of who you are.
What is Psychosynthesis?
Created by Roberto Assagioli in the early 20th century, psychosynthesis is a life affirming approach to psychology emphasizing positive growth, resilience, and the innate potential within each individual. This approach focuses on the development of trust and harmony in the relationships we have with our Self, with others, with our environment and the situations we encounter in life.
While I use many coaching tools during my lessons, my favorite is clinical imagery, which encompasses guided and spontaneous imagery. In itself imagery is the way our brain processes informations and communicates with us in a visual, auditory, sensory and kinesthetic manner—personally I like to call clinical imagery the language the soul.
A clinical imagery experience resemble a guided meditation but with your own images. It feels timeless and deeply relevant, offering powerful insights that can be life-changing. That’s why I love clinical imagery: the experiences are personal, meaningful and, once integrated, they become a natural part of your life.
Assagioli was himself a polyglot and used the specificities found in different languages to awaken curiosity and creativity. Being trilingual myself, I've been merging psychosynthesis with my work for over 20 year and I've witnessed, year after year, how it has help my clients integrate the language in an organic way, while expanding joy, curiosity and creativity in their life.
It is my privilege to support you into developing and trusting your own learning and exploration process, and to blossom into French, joy and creativity.
je me réjouis de vous rencontrer !
