PLAYING WITH YOUR INNER CLOWN Laughter, Learning and Lounging
in the Sun 22-29 September 2014
Island of Paxos, Greece
A Greek Island holiday with a difference. Would you like to feel
free to be more joyful, spontaneous and authentic? To find that
creative, playful and open side of yourself, and to laugh, relax
and have fun in the sun at the same time? This course on the beautiful
Greek Island of Paxos will help you do all this, and more.

Playing with your Inner Clown consists of five morning group sessions
with an optional sharing before a small invited audience on the
Saturday evening. The rest of each day will be free time when you
will be able to explore the varied landscapes of Paxos or simply
to relax. There is one day completely free mid way through the course.
The number of participants is limited to eight and no previous experience
is necessary.
There are so many things to discover by playing with your inner
clown. This is not the 'big shoes' and 'squirty flowers' kind of
clown, and there are no techniques or comic gags to learn; no trying
to be funny or clever. This is about you being your own delightful
self as you play with how you really are in the here and now, connecting
to your authenticity as you relate to others. It's a personal journey
on which you will discover your own unique way of being a clown.
The workshop is experiential and through play, games, exercises
and short improvisations we will learn to let go of our control
over things and be surprised by what reveals itself to us. In a
safe and supportive environment we will explore
• connecting to our spirit of play and joy
• coping with life without being concerned about getting it
'right'
• developing presence and building confidence
• finding the courage to be more emotionally available
• experiencing deep and gentle human communication
• improving health and well being
• laughing and having fun!

The Island: Paxos is in a truly inspirational location in the
Ionian Sea just nine miles south of Corfu. It is a really beautiful
island with stunning scenery, great walking and wonderful clear
light that has for the most part escaped the effects of mass tourism.
It is an ideal holiday destination for anyone wanting simply to
take time out of the rat race and relax.
Where you will stay: Accommodation will be in lovely shared villas,
each with its own pool and spacious terraces, set in the shade and
tranquillity of the olive groves about a 20-minute walk above Loggos.
