there are still some spots available in the mermaid warrior class. the weekly video and pdfs are downloadable so you can learn do at your own pace. this is not a traditional class where you have homework or need another thing to “keep up with.” it is about inspiring young minds in a positive, real way through creating and being yourself.

here are a few testimonials from my fabulous warrior students:

“Mccabe is both whimsically creative and magically inspiring. Her class is well thought out thorough; she walks you through each technique with her own students showing you each of the steps in detail. This approach allows you to witness the process as well as see the final outcome, both the art and the inspired child. It is obvious that she nurtures these sweet, young souls and gently encourages them to find the creative parts of themselves, using art and play as a form of self discovery, self expression and self healing. In order to teach these girls she has looked deeply inside of herself and captured the lessons she herself needed to learn as a young girl, lessons I myself wish that someone had shared with me. Her spirit is contagious and at the end of every lesson I found myself longing to teach but also wanting
to play!”

“the mermaid camp nurtures the spirit through creative self expression. and in our society where a girl’s self confidence is challenged daily by an assault of images in the media which suggest that we are somehow just not good enough the way we are…mermaid camp is the remedy. mermaid camp empowers girls to feel good about themselves.

i enjoy the videos immensely and look forward to them each week because the spirit of the girls really shine and one can see that they have been moved. i too feel very comfortable with the class because it touches the little one inside me so there is this sense of familiarity.”

“I was inspired to take the Mermaid Warriors class after reading The Dancing Mermaid blog and being inspired by the authenticity and joy I found in it. I have always loved making art and I love the idea of providing art as a way of empowering girls…and having a lot of fun doing it!

I love the weekly videos and the opportunity to see a class in action. I also appreciate the weekly class notes: both the videos and the notes seem to be from a real person…full of humor and love as opposed to a generic instruction manual.

I am brainstorming little girls I think would make awesome Mermaid Warriors!

I am so grateful McCabe is sharing her vision with the world.”

“The mermaid warrior e-course is incredibly well designed and full of insight! The video lessons are utterly inspiring, featuring clever art projects, highlighting materials and demonstrating techniques. This is a program not to be missed by anyone who wants to teach an art class, lead a mermaid camp or simply get some ideas and skills, as a creative mother, educator or caretaker. I look forward to every new session and fully recommend it!”

“I love participating in this class! mccabe’s gentle words and guidance for the mermaids is beautiful! I love hearing what the girls have to say about their creativity and to see their little smiles and sense of accomplishment. I would say that this should be a “must” for every child.”

“I have thoroughly enjoyed the Mermaid Warrior training. The weekly instructions are a joy to receive each week. I appreciate that there is video and document format. There are inspiring and informative comments that pop up throughout the video. I also love the constant reminder in this course that it is about the mermaids having FUN. I can tell that this class is a success. The kiddos feel free to create and express themselves. I can’t wait to teach my own summer class with young girls! Thanks to this course, it is a guaranteed success!”

“McCabe’s Mermaid Warriors classes are an absolute delight. The videos are unique, informative, inspiring, very practical and infused with humour and a sense of playfulness. I would unreservedly recommend this course to anyone with children, who wants to teach children, or to someone like myself who, at age 30, is only just uncovering her creative self and is looking for some fresh and fun ideas.”

“this class is sheer magic.
it’s more than just teaching you how to run an art course for children
it’s a time of empowerment for both the teacher and the student.
it’s giving children a safe place.
a place to be themselves,
to open up,
to take risks creatively
within the safety net of encouragement and love.
as i take the course i feel myself opening up and exploring
in ways that i didn’t expect.
as mccabe has said,
“teach the class you needed when you were ten.”
i dare say it’s the class that i need now. ;-D”
(love you mccabe!)

“this class has been a great experience for my daughter and myself. We look forward to the weekly videos and my daughter asks me ever day “can we do our art today?” While wonderful for children, I am finding this course has blasted open the creativity and sense of play in art that has been long buried within. I am seriously considering this course for a weekly women’s group as a way to bond, play and explore. Thank you thank you thank you!”
