The CLEAR PRESENCE Developers
Doreen Blumenfeld, CHT
Doreen Blumenfeld has more than 22 years of experience in the counseling and health care field. Doreen leads professional trainings and workshops on various topics including stress management, compassion fatigue and deep relaxation. See www.hearthill.com for individual wellness services provided by Doreen. She produced the national best-selling meditation recordings, Journey into Deep Relaxation and Journey into Healing Light, which are available to assist individuals in realizing their full potential for well-being.

One of Doreen’s dreams is to promote greater connection through community building. This is reflected in the manual
she recently published, The 5 Steps to Creating Connection, a guide for women in mid-life seeking more support, and in the development of Clear Presence Programs. Doreen is a clinical hypnotherapist, wellness counselor, and a professional member of The Center for Mindful Eating. She lives among the northern California redwoods, which deeply inspire her work.
Jan Phallen-Fike
Jan Phallen-Fike participated in three rounds of The 7-Minute Diet and enjoyed the process so much she decided to become
a part of the Clear Presence development team. Jan combines facilitation skills with spiritual development studies. She
has been following the beat of Taiko drums the last 4 years, not only as a student, but also as a teacher of Taiko. Jan finds that Taiko drumming is her exercise of choice. Jan is an experienced trainer, teacher, group leader and her talents are greatly appreciated on the Clear Presence team.
Holly Barnard, CMT
Holly has studied various aspects of holistic healing for more than 25 years and has been a massage therapist since 1984. She has aided individuals in their quest for wholeness through her bodywork practice, in her work with a local Wellness Program and in her past 4-1/2 years as a personal wellness coach. She explores the healing powers of mindfulness and body-oriented guided imagery with clients living with cancer as well as fibromyalgia, Lyme's Disease and other chronic pain conditions. Visit www.hearthill.com to review individual services provided by Holly.

Holly is passionate about our unique "unfolding" process, which allows one's innate sense of presence, connection, and joy to emerge. She is supported by long-term habits of insight meditation and Authentic Movement, and by life in the hills of northern California, where she maintains a private practice.
Phil Groves
Phil Groves is a former high-school teacher and serial entrepreneur who rode the Seattle espresso wave into early semi-retirement at age 60. A lifelong seeker on the human potential path, Phil was involved in developing the basics for the daily practice of Clear Presence as applied to The 7-Minute Diet. He lives in Washington State with his wife, one dog and two cats. He is at work on two writing projects, one a musical play and the other a romantic comedy. Phil has now retired from active participation in the development of Clear Presence Programs, but continues to provide consulting services.
A note of gratitude to Lee Glickstein and Speaking Circles®

The Clear Presence founders, Doreen Blumenfeld and Phil Groves, are deeply grateful to
Lee Glickstein, founder of Speaking Circles International®, a program that transforms public speaking from a fearful and/or performance-based endeavor into effortless, deeply expressive and richly authentic connection.

Doreen and Phil are certified facilitators in Speaking Circles®. The have both
had extensive training with Lee at his headquarters in San Anselmo, California. We regard his work as ranking among the most powerful and transformative teachings we have ever experienced.

The Clear Presence programs would not exist today if we had not learned the exquisite and finely nuanced practice of deep, authentic listening from Lee. He terms this special communication "Relational Presence" and regards it as the gateway to profound communication of all kinds. We agree.

We highly recommend Speaking Circles® training for anyone who wishes to be a more genuine and effective communicator. Learn more about Speaking Circles® and Lee's work at www.speakingcircles.com.
