Clown Freedom- Deepen your Clown Healing Journey

Over this extended Clown Healing weekend, we will explore more deeply how the clown state is a bridge to our inner world, to our sense of inner balance, freedom and joy.

We will continue to work with playfulness games, clown exercises as well as integrative techniques such as short mindfulness breaks and reflective sharing.

If all goes well, you will glimpse how Clown Healing is a catalyst for inner freedom and for many aspects of personal and spiritual development including: Self-expression, Creativity, Humility, Acceptance, Vulnerability, Present Moment Living, Mindfulness, Spontaneity, Connection, Authenticity, Joy, Going with the flow. 

Here's what to expect each day:

10.30 onwards- arrival, teas and wees. 

10.45- Opening circle. 

11.15 Gentle group games and silly dancing to loosen the body, open the emotions and neutralise the mind

12.15 - Clown Skills 101- an introduction to basic clowning skills such as mime, exaggeration, silliness, spontaneity and misbehaviour. These will all be explored through group games and we will feel the support and affirmation of the group energy

1.30-2.30 - Communal Shared lunch

2.30-4.30 - Meeting your inner clown. Through the use of costumes, music and carefully designed clown exercises we will say hello to our inner mischief-maker and fool. (You could just call it your inner clown if you prefer).

4.30 - Winding down and closing circle. De-briefing the experience and integrating the journey

Here's what others have said about the experience:-

"A Clown Healing workshop is like medicine for the soul."

"The chance to play, release the inner child, find our inner ridiculous and support each other’s emergence is a rare treasure in such a demanding world."

"I lost three things from your workshop- a stiff body, a numb heart and a disease called seriousness"

“Clown Healing was the missing piece to my wellness plan”

"Ailon holds a safe and deep space for exploration and the mixture of solo experimenting, group mime and playful scenes made for an enriching Sunday. A bit like going to stupid clown church."
