What is CLOWNVERGENCE?
CLOWNVERGENCE is a 4-day online conference, with workshops, games, panel discussions, Clown Cafès, spaces for open conversations, connection and much more!
It is a space for Clowns to come together and share their wisdom, tricks they have learned along the way, intentions and presence. It is a space for learning and connecting. Building bridges for collaboration, support and solidarity.
The mission of Clown Spirit is to unleash as many clowns into the world as possible, because we feel that the wisdom of the clown is good for the world. The CLOWNVERGENCE is a space designed around this mission, creating the conditions for supporting the people that are doing this work and bringing opportunities to expand the broader populations’ awareness of the restorative, potent and healing possibilities that the Clown enables.
The conference is fueled by the Clown Spirit Village.
CLOWNVERGENCE is offered in the Spirit of Gift Culture.
This means that the many people involved, including the speakers and panelists and organizing team, have generously gifted their time and energy to support this beautiful convergence of clowns.
You are invited to contribute what you can afford and offer the gifts, energies and resources you choose.
No one will be turned away for lack of funds!
