ALL ARE WELCOME. (No experience necessary.)
Walk in as your pedestrian self, leave as a fully embodied, playful, curious being. Clown returns us to our center, to our childlike wonder, to the power of vulnerability and the joy of authentic laughter.
This winter solstice event is next in the quarterly, 90-minute, somatic (body-based), guided, immersive series at the beautiful PulsePDX, with lights and ambient sound by DJ Dave Basement.
Details to follow as the call of the change of seasons emerges.
Please wear clothes that you feel comfortable moving in, bring layers and water, and be prepared to move barefoot.
