I Ching Course
Course description
This practical I Ching divination course is available in self-study or correspondence versions. Whichever version you choose, you get the same materials: lessons, assignments and background information. With the Correspondence version, I also give you in-depth coaching by email on eight of the assignments - plus one by phone, when we work through a reading together. Please note there is no time limit on this. You are not under any pressure to complete the course by a set date: it works on your schedule.

Enrich your learning through Change Circle
The most powerful way to get to know the I Ching is through talking with it - that is, through your own readings. That's the focus of each assignment in this course. In addition, you can also develop a depth and breadth of understanding by learning from other people's readings. A community of I Ching enthusiasts can create a melting-pot of ideas and insights that hugely enriches and accelerates your learning.
You just need to find the people who are as fascinated as you are by synchronicity, guidance through divination, and the extraordinary possibilities that emerge from a 3,000 year old oracle. Not easy - at least, it used not to be. Then came Change Circle, a private membership within Clarity where I Ching enthusiasts share readings and pool knowledge. (You can read more about Change Circle here: the link opens in a new window or tab, so close it to come back.)
All versions of the I Ching Course include a period of free membership in Change Circle: the self-study course gives you a free month's access, while the correspondence course includes a full twelve months free. (Normal price: £5/month, about ($7.5 or €5.55) You are warmly invited to share your readings and I Ching experiences here, and/or simply to enjoy browsing through the discussion threads and members' blogs.
Membership in Change Circle also gives you access to the WikiWing, a complete, line-by-line commentary on the I Ching, built entirely from members' insights and experiences.

Why an online course?
Thanks to the internet, where once you had to travel to get to the information you wanted, now the information travels to you. An online course is convenient. It's delivered to your email inbox, and it's stored on your own computer to read, search or print out. You can learn in your own time, according to your own schedule. And there is no time limit on this correspondence course: I'll provide helpful feedback on your assignments whenever you send them to me.
If you have a dial-up connection, you may find that Journey Imagery recording (at 31MB) is too big for you to download. Some less reliable connections might also have problems with the audio files (up to 12MB). If this is the case, I'd recommend you go for the option that is posted to you on CD, to avoid frustration. (Please note this is a Windows-only CD ROM.)
About the author
I'm Hilary Barrett, working I Ching diviner, coach, writer, and perpetual student. I started onlineClarity in 2000, to make I Ching readings available internationally via the 'net. (My previous background was in modern languages and literature.)
Since then, prompted by years of first-hand experience with the oracle, I've become more and more committed to helping people use the I Ching for themselves. (More about that here.) Hence the introductory information, book reviews, I Ching Community, blog, occasional live events, and so on.
Thank you for visiting and reading this far, and I hope you enjoy the course.
Hilary
"When I first consulted the I-Ching I was amazed at how much information Hilary was able to glean from what seemed like a few short lines in a hexagram. Her interpretation and depth of insight into the reading seemed magical to me. I longed to have the resources to learn just a little of what she knew. The on-line course was the answer to my wish. The course was very convenient, cost effective and extremely enlightening. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone who would like to deepen their knowledge of the I-Ching."
