Sacred Clown – Directions of the Self
„WHEN YOU CAN FACE YOUR DIRECTIONS AT ONCE, YOU CAN ONLY LAUGH AT THE BEAUTY OF YOUR OWN RIDICULOUSNESS“ (Richard Pochinko)
In Native North American traditions, there are several prominent figures. One of these is the Heyoka, also known as the sacred clown. A person who is eccentric, unique and somewhat out of the ordinary.
In our culture, these same characteristics can be traced back to bluntness or arrogance, but also to sincerity of heart and innocence.
He is called sacred by the natives, because through his words or gestures, everyone rediscovers a lightness of spirit, feels transformed and healed in soul. Calm and harmony return to the group as well as to individuals.
In recalling his essence, through play, listening to the body, deep connection and intuition, we experience his magic, and we can call ourselves sacred clowns for a moment. The time that each body needs to let go of the idea it has of itself in order to feel and accept its true physical, emotional, energetic an spiritual nature.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
- To awaken our potential through direct experience
- Discover our strength in vulnerability
- Unravelling the everyday mechanisms of relating to ourselves and others through creativity and intuition, in a playful way
- Relying on our impulses in saying a word, initiating a movement, releasing a sigh.
- Embracing and turning a ‚failure‘ into an opportunity to open up endless possibilities.
- Letting go of our own and others‘ judgements and finding an ally in our ridicule
- Manifesting ourselves authentically without fear of confrontation with others
- Relying on intuition
- Experiencing humility as a resource
- Empathising in sharing
- Inhabiting silences and feeling their strength
WE WILL EXPERIENCE
- Listening to oneself in relation to others and oneself
- The external and internal attention, the invisible listening
- A new look at the work of others, open, honest and loving, essential for personal and group growth
- The sense of belonging and inlcusion.
WHO IS FRANCESCA ZANNIER
Clown, comic actress, facilitator of personal growth paths through the Sacred Clown methodology based on Native American philosophy (Sue Morrison) and practical energy and intuition techniques (EIVIDA).
I have been described as an explorer and I must say that I recognise myself when I look inward. Observing how much I have already discovered and how much is yet to be discovered, drives me with enthusiasm to share the experience with those who, like me, have a curious and creative soul.
I deeply feel the need to create spaces where we can experience being and not doing, connection and the natural rhythm of the self, where there is neither past nor future, there is only the present moment.
In a society that pushes us to ‚everything and now‘, finding a common breath to get out of our false comfort zone allows us to embrace the unknown, leaving space for transformation.
