CONNECTION.

LIGHTNESS.

JOY.

Clown is a sacred and spiritual journey to a deeper connection to yourself and to the world around you. It requires great honesty and vulnerability, but once mastered is a powerful tool for transformation.  Whether you want to perform as a true clown, use clowning in your own self-development, or harness its power to help others, clowning offers a lifetime of exploration, revelation and deep, deep connection.
