The Wisdom of the Clown
7 days retreat: 15th - 22nd April 2012 in a monastery near Vicenza, Italy
With Patrick van den Boom
(for more information, see attachment)
A seven days journey

Getting to know our clown and ourselves. There is a lot of wisdom to discover through the clowning.
It is there in us already and no need to search for it outside us. We often want to be original and creative,
and that might actually take us away from the magic.
We will be building trust in the wisdom of our personal clown. Working on being present, and realizing we
are aware and resting there.
Because we will be in this beautiful monastery in Vicenza, we will work on awakening our senses and
taking lots of time for discovering.
In this week we have a lot of singing in duo's, trios and big groups. Songs from the heart and songs coming
from the depth in us. Singing in small and big clown choirs. We are all unique people with unique talents,
and we will find ways how to let that come out, with feeling safe and totally going for it.
In the week there will be a silent day for reflection and feeling your inner space, without external noise.
We can meet ourselves in a very pure and authentic way. Listening to what silence has to say to us.
Other ways of getting more trust in our clown wisdom will be working with mime, dance, meditation and
mindfulness. Working as much as possible outside in the amazing garden!

Traveling

We advice you to fly to Venice, Marco Polo airport is the most convenient, but Treviso airport is also close
enough. Ryanair flies from Norway, Sweden and Germany, among many other countries, and Transavia
has reasonable offers from The Netherlands.
From the airport to Vicenza the travel time is approximately one hour.
We arrange pickup (at your own cost) on sunday at 17.00 from Marco Polo airport, if there is a minimum of 4 people arriving at this time.
Otherwise the nuns help with pickup from the trainstation in Thiene.
The adress is : La Casa Gesu Maestro
Via S. Rocco, 2 - Centrale di Zugliano (VI)
Vicenza, Italy

This is crazy!? .... There is a god?
