link to Zen River
If the world is feeling a bit Topsy-turvy these days (or not) and you are wishing for:
-some trickster tools to pull out of your pocket,
-to invoke your sense of humor to manage what the world is throwing at you
-to conjure up a taste of lightness amidst heavy loads and loud voices
-to enjoy exploring the land of sacred mischief
-to connect/reconnect
Sacred Mischief Training facilitates:
Connecting with Not knowing, Ridiculousness and Absurdity.
Transforming one’s own subjective sense of humor into meaningless and meaningful expression.
Connecting with the deepest sense of self and selflessness & with your senses.
Training in Sacred Mischief can Awaken, Enliven, and Levitate Daily Life. The sacred aspect of mischief is where the mischief uplifts! Be it yourself, those around you, even those not around you, For the mischief to be sacred, every one is laughing with.
How do you do this? It starts with ‘how do you do things in a way you find funny’. It develops into how do you invite humor into deeper aspects of being to develop tools of sacred mischief.
Through physical theater practices, clown improvisations, develop your unique expressive funny-perhaps it’s just for yourself, to have the resilience to poke humor in challenging places, or it may be to share with others-perhaps just a wink or a nod, and perhaps a bit more. Either way it’s the path of sacred mischief. Deepen the experience, and your awareness, by slowing it down to Butoh (dance) time. Invite the possibilities of mischief into the twinkle of your eye.
The days are both grounded and expanded by the experience of being part of Zen River for the weekend. Of practicing with and living in and with the rhythms of this special place.
