Do you feel the call for more expression in your life?

Are you curious about the different aspects in you?

Would you like to navigate more playfully within yourself?

Welcome !

Fool Expression is calling us as humans to learn to access all the masks or parts in ourselves. Some known, some not known yet. This way we connect to more aliveness, creativity, inner peace, connection with others and with ourselves

It is a deeply transformative and embodied process allowing us to dive deeper into ourselves through somatic practices and through a safe connection with others. In this benevolent container, our human nature is called to open, express and bring transformation.

In this practice the Fool archetype is the part in us that can journey from one aspect of ourselves to another, embodying and exploring authentically each of them fully. It is not at all about being funny or foolish, although this could also happen. But it is about being open, curious and willing to explore known and unknown parts of our psyche. It is about receiving the vast amount of life force available in each part in us and it is also about feeling safe and free within.

The Fool archetype honours, embodies and expresses authentically the uniqueness of each aspect in us and then effortlessly steps out of them. Thus offering space to whatever else that is ready to be explored and expressed in us. The Fool archetype feels also at home in the ‘empty space’, in the the rich unknown within us. They navigate freely these spaces where anything can effortlessly emerge and then be explored…

This practice excitingly allows also for the different parts of us to interact together and so reveal more of themselves as well as the dynamic between them that are usually a mirror of what is happening is our lives. As participants we ‘play’ this way to find more about ourselves and we realise soon also that our exploration is serving other participants’s personal journeys in a meaningful way. In a similar way, other participant’s play offers us a huge source of insights and transformation for ourselves. We realise how the authentic expression of parts and patterns in us forges a deep sense of trust, learning, understanding, connection and belonging in the group.

Fool Expression brings conscious gathering and the magic of theatre back into the centre of the community. A place to explore, feel connected, and most important to just be who we are. It allows us to experience in an embodied way the mystery that links us all together as humans and the potency of transformation we can create together.

This work comes from the lineage of the Fool’s work of Franki Anderson. It is also based on the Voice Dialogue Model of Consciousness and the Psychology of Selves and is Trauma Informed. It involves aspects of focusing, authentic movement, shadow work, Internal Family System, parts work and theatre.

Note: to preserve the integrity of the group, I reserve the right to continue working with those I feel comfortable with, and capable of holding within the group setting.

AFTER THE CAMP YOU WILL HAVE:

– an embodied sense of a home base within you
– practical tools to come closer to yourself in your daily life

– you will feel nourished and inspired by your inner player

 -> THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FOOL EXPRESSION SUMMER CAMP & THE FOOL EXPRESSION INTENSIVE :

The Fool Summer Camp – 1-6 June – Open to new Players. This retreat is woven with a ‘Village Building’ experience inspired by the 8 Shields movement. It offers spacious being time on the land, solo and group play, ritual and games. 

The Fool Intensive – 27-30 June – For returning Players (who have done already a Fool Expression weekend Introduction). We will concentrate on playing all day long – and maybe evenings too, and exploring new tools associated with the practice and similar practices like psychodrama, Internal Family System, Relational Play. You will get to play and see a lot of play and dive more intensely in the practice and in the connection with others.

Contact me if you have any question.
