Our Process

We use clowning as the vehicle to promote spontaneous, heartfelt connections.

  • A fixture in history. The clown, fool and jester has been a fixture in every culture in recorded history.
  • Lightening the mood. Clowns are a universal character in the human unconscious whose purpose it is to lighten the mood.
  • A different perspective. Clowns help us to laugh at ourselves and look at life from a different perspective.
  • New endings to old stories. Clowns help to diffuse anxiety and provide new endings to old stories.
  • The red nose. A symbol that carries the message: I come with an open heart, and I will not hurt you.

Relationships are the Heart of Health

We are a multidisciplinary initiative that places heartfelt relationships at the center of healing. We invite you to participate in one of our transformative workshops in the art and science of healing through joyful, loving communication.
