with Carol Thompson and Teri West
20-25 July 2025
A light-hearted playful week in the beautifully designed spaces of Peredur Centre for the Arts, in East Sussex. We will develop a sense of wellbeing and experience plenty of fun and laughter as we explore how the worlds of clowning and the practice of mindfulness connect.
Stopping, breathing and being fully present to each moment is the perfect companion on the path to meeting our unique ‘clown within’. Our clown is the free, fun, spontaneous and playful side of ourselves that copes with life without being concerned about getting it right or being clever, just as our ‘Buddha-nature’ or awakened mind accepts all as it is, without judging or comparing.
Through play, games and short improvisations, we will learn to let go of our need to be in control. Through practising mindful breathing, movement and deep listening we will develop the ability to be truly present in each moment.
