Claire M. Perkins

Claire Perkins is an artist, author, and expressive arts coach. Her award-winning first book, The Deep Water Leaf Society, chronicles her journey through grief into healing through art, dream work and journaling. Her newest book, Fallen, The Adventures of a Deep Water Leaf, is a spiritual fairy tale about a little leaf who falls from the Dreaming Tree and her journey of awakening.

Claire experienced her own deep dive journey of awakening after the death of her 26-year-old son in 2004. Over time, she created deep healing in her life through her training as a certified Creative Journal Expressive Arts facilitator (with Lucia Capacchione), Active Dreaming teacher (with Robert Moss), and Transformational Life Coach (at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts). She also trained as an Agent of Conscious Evolution (with Barbara Marx Hubbard) and is a certified SoulCollage® Facilitator.

Claire lives in Mesa, Arizona with her husband, Dave, two dogs and three cats. She enjoys nature, travel and boondock RV camping. She finds her deepest peace when she visits the ocean, but knows that The Deep can be found in every location and every waking moment of this dream we call life.
