"... if the activity to
save the world doesn't give us joy, what's the point in having a world,
and how will we have the wholeness and energy to carry on?"
Stephen Nachmanovich
The clown's exaggerated physical and emotional responsiveness gives
us a heightened sensitivity to the world around us. What if the natural
world could speak to us directly? What would it say? Through the clown's
empathy and playful imagination, we open ourselves to the wonder and
mystery that is Gaia's playground.
This weekend offers an opportunity to let go
of the thinking, controlling part of ourselves and open up to what
is present in the here and now.
The course limited to 12 people.
Chris Seeley is an educator on the MSc in Responsibility and Business
Practice at the University of Bath and has a thriving sustainability
and action research practice. Based in Gloucestershire, she also
works for international agencies on business development in Ghana,
Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and Vietnam.
