Spiritual Masters and the Clown

Spiritual Masters and the Clown

Many spiritual masters have one thing in common: a great sense of humour. Some of them (Christ included) have been dubbed Holy Fools. Indeed, it has been the role of Sacred Clowns in different traditions to shake up the status quo whenever things got too dogmatic or serious.

Join us for a week in the company of Rumi, Rabia, Hafiz, the Buddha, Uzume, Jesus and more to take our spiritual questing a little more lightly, to laugh at ourselves in the many mirrors of what it is to be human.

Vivian and Ashley began teaching the skills of their different crafts ( clowning and storytelling) back in the eighties; together they will bring you over 70 years of their experience,  mistakes, momentary epiphanies and mutual madness.

The cost of this course is £520 – a small number of places are available for bursaries from Emerson, please email the registrar. If you are ready to apply please click here or the booking link.
