Write with Arie

You've got the spark for writing but it's hard to keep at it alone. Arie is a friend and mentor who will keep you focused and provide individualized feedback, ideas and problem solving assistance.

Connect to your core

Just living can be like fighting a battle. It's overwhelming, draining and disconnected. Arie is a life coach who will listen, support you and provide skills and ideas for connecting to your intuition, natural understanding and spiritual truth. She is an herbalist, counselor and experienced Tarot reader and she is willing to teach these skills to others. Rather than give you a fish, she'll teach you to fish in your own inner sea, to find natural healing in your own backyard and truth in your own heart.

Learn English

Arie Farnam has broad experience teaching students from Honduras to Siberia, including fifteen years of teaching in the Czech Republic. She teaches online. All other courses, including writing and life coaching, are open to those who are also interested in learning English at the same time.
