What is Esther Claire and who is it for?

Here at Esther Claire you can expect to be inspired, connect through creative practice, and learn how to track and attune to the cosmic cycles of the natural world. I believe in adding enchantment to everyday living, so if you are craving a deepening of relationship through the spark of curiosity, I am here to support your exploration.

My ethos

I am passionate about giving people space, time and autonomy to explore. I believe in play and curiosity, an open mindset, and living in co-creation with the world around me. I practice this through creating art, listening by attuning to micro-gestures and noticing what arises inside myself, slow-looking as an act of resistance against the fast and furious pace of the modern world, and using astrology as a tool for deepening my felt understanding of the world.

As an artist, I believe in the connective process of expressing through creativity, as it speaks to the multitudes of self that reach beyond language, and sometimes, even conscious awareness. Creativity is a bridge to the unknown, and a path to untangling aspects that have become knotted and stagnant. When you engage in creative practice, you take a step closer to your self. 

I think of myself as a synthesiser; someone who brings symbols, knowledge, images, into cohesion - and I do this through interacting creatively with the world through art, astrology, and with an emphasis on relationality. 

My astrological paradigm

Astrology is a practice of reading the world; the symbolic and observable events of the cosmos have a way of telling the time that differentiates each moment and dispels the separated quality of time, drawing us closer to realising, and living in flow with cycles of nature. I began studying astrology in 2019, first as an Evolutionary astrologer with a modern lens that delves into psychological application with a focus on growth throughout the lifetime, and second through a Hellenistic paradigm as I have depended my study with Austin Coppock learning the ancient traditions of astrology that has been transmitted over the past 2000 years. I embrace astrology as a language and system in which I can deeply attune myself to the natural cycles of time. Astrology is a collaborative practice.

Holding the abstract alongside the rational

I balance my cosmological perspective with a grounding presence, discernment and rational thinking learned through in-excess of a decade of formal University study and practice in Science and Mathematics teaching, and a deep understanding for the unique needs humans bring with a Masters Degree in Gifted Education.

I am in my third year of a Masters Degree in Therapeutic Arts Practice at MIECAT (specialising in Arts Therapy), an ANZACATA approved tertiary educator.

My process

My work is about deepening into the mysterious layers of life you didn’t know existed. It is about bringing cohesion to your inner and outer worlds. I embrace creative inquiry as a way of living with greater presence and integrity.
