What people had to say about the last training:

I would have to say that I felt a "coming home" of sorts. I've always found humour in most things throughout my life, but recent years seeked to make the humourless aspects of life more prevalent in mine. The Sacred Fool workshop was exactly what I needed to re-connect with my core humour once again. From the delightful instructions from Moshe, thoughtful conversations with fellow Sacred Fools, the opportunity to visit with the River Beings of Sherry's land, and just overall safety to be present, I feel confident in being able to speak to the humour that is in every-one. I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this workshop.

Learning to identify the seat of levity - that certain quality of lightness and opening to what is - within my core, will surely prove another very useful tool for helping my community members to "dance with their emotions". As with the Process Institute training, I left the Sacred Clowning class carrying an exciting seed of possibility for my work as a firekeeper. I certainly recommend this experience to firekeepers, as much as to those community members who will serve as Sacred Clowns. Moshe brings his "Zen irreverence" as well as his passion, humility and expertise to his teaching. I look forward to watching his gifts take root and blossom within the larger SFC.

"It's all about joy! We were rarely sitting still, often moving and making sounds from deep down and discovering that sacred clowning is about being authentic and not pretending. After a morning of discovering I had a real block towards getting in touch with that authentic humor in me. I decided to clown that block and almost immediately that block moved. Bringing joy/humor in me to whatever I'm faced with is my new practice. There are more opportunities to bring in clowning in our fire circles than we realized before clown training such as using clowning as a way to teach about offerings. Then, of course, bringing it into our relationships with our families, our friends and our work will give us plenty of practice and help to lighten our world."
