The School of Conscious Living is an intensive program of education, exploration and conscious journeying with a core group of individuals and Dr. Deborah Ooten. The seminars, extending over a two-year period, assist participants in identifying roadblocks present in their lives. This program will help those involved realize their full potential in all areas of life - work, play and self care.

Living consciously involves inner work that requires more than a weekend or two. The School of Conscious Living is designed to provide direction for a lifetime journey. The program consists of eight seminars over a two-year period. The four weekend seminars each year extend from Friday evening until Sunday evening. Particpants will schedule two coaching sessions monthly with Dr. Ooten or adjunct faculty, by phone or in person. These sessions are required to enhance learning in the program.

The School of Conscious Living also offers parlor classes in Chicago under the direction of Merri Monks, as well as day and weekend intensives throughout the U.S.

Dr. Deborah Ooten has her doctorate in clinical psychology and is a certified enneagram teacher in the narrative tradition. She has a private practice and works with people to create positive life change and achieve spiritual wholeness. Dr. Ooten is certified in spiral dynamics by Dr. Don Beck.
