I am always happy to recommend things that I truly believe in. I want to tell you about two classes I took last year that have really made an impact on me–they could help you too!

TEACHNOW
If you feel a calling to teach (online or off) I highly recommend TeachNow.

We teach what we need to learn. And nothing whips you into shape and makes you more clear than teaching.

Jen Louden (the creatrix of TeachNow) is very down-to-earth, supportive, and full of insights on teaching as a transformative path for your students and for you. I took TeachNow last year to help prepare for teaching my upcoming course GetQuirky and found it extremely valuable. Although I’ve taught writing before for MediaBistro, I really wanted a refresher on how to teach–especially to learn about how to design a course and to feel more confident.

Jen’s offering a free class tomorrow as a sampler on Thursday, April 4 at 10 am Pacific Time. Sign up here and you get an email with the call-in info. You also get access to the TeachNow Library, which has some excellent resources. I may join the call, and if so, hear you there!

CALLING IN THE ONE
Calling in the One is a course that gives you a path toward attracting your soul mate. But really it’s a class about becoming “the one” yourself first.. If you are quirkyalone and prefer to be single rather than settle–and at the same time you do want a partner in your life, the RIGHT puzzle piece to match your puzzle piece–Calling in the One may be helpful for you. It’s really a class for people who want what they call “an evolutionary partnership,” a new style of relationship where both people get to be full partners. Their vision of an “evolutionary partnership” is kindred to my concept of “quirkytogether.”

I did Calling in the One last year and got a ton out of it. Although their tagline says it is about attracting your soul mate in seven weeks, that’s not really the point. It’s really about becoming a friend to yourself in your most vulnerable places and taking a powerful stand for yourself and your visions.

Calling in the One helps you look at your internal blocks to love (most of all the internal blocks you have in loving yourself). It sets you up to be better able to attract the right partner for you because you start to really show up for yourself. If you are like me, you might be a little put off by the pink branding but trust me this is a great class.

Their next class starts April 23. You can sign up and learn more about Calling in the One here.

P.S. You’ll be hearing more about GetQuirky from me soon (my own class!). But as I really do think these are wonderful classes to enrich your life, I wanted to share them with you too!
