The Simple Fool's Silly School of “TOP SECRET” esoteric clowning presents...

An Introduction to the Simple Fool: Discovering the Clown Within

Spring Workshop in Olympia

Come and discover your INNER CLOWN - In the spirit of Artivism (art and action for social and spiritual transformation)! In an intimate groups of no more than 12 we will do very basic and deep work with the Clown within, developing presence, authenticity, emptiness and listening. By having the courage to be vulnerable with one another, we open ourselves up to the possibility of play, laughter and tears. All the while we review and discuss our experiences in order to understand ourselves better.

Starting with warm ups we establish safety in the space and comfort in our bodies. Then we play games that bring light and joy to the exploration of what lives deeply yet spontaneously within. Through this play, we become comfortable sharing ourselves with others and are able to move on to exercises that gently build skills for performance. Finally, with great nurturing and support from the group, we bravely embark upon the magical journey of improvisational performances. Thus the clown within is slowly discovered!

Facilitator Dawn Stratton is a modern day court jester and clown teacher. She is the founder of The Simple Fool School.

FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO REGISTER CONTACT:
dawn@thesimplefool.com or call 360-705-2506

"There is a still quiet place within where you are filled with unlimited creativity. This is the world of the clown. It is your birthright as a human being and it manifests in laughter and tears."

I received this announcement via email:

A special MLK workshop. Explore the philosophy of nonviolence as Mahatma Gandhi worked it out. Dare to live by the fundamental principles that he put into practice and learn to be truly free. To live by them is to throw off all oppression, internal and external, regardless of the situation.Work through these principles in depth in the morning, and explore how we can apply them in our lives in the afternoon. It is a challenge worthy of our potential. With Rod Davis, Ph.D.

Details
"The language we use affects how we think which in turn affects how we feel and act. Dr. Marshall Rosenberg has developed a simple yet radical communication process, Nonviolent Communication(sm), aka NVC(sm), with the potential for changing how others hear and respond to us (without defensiveness or blame) and how we view others and ourselves (without blame, shame or criticism). This workshop offers instruction, discussion, experiential learning, and the opportunity for you to decide if this process fits for you."
