 With Laura Geilen of Nose to Nose of North America.
 At 84 Main Street, Philmont, NY
Our striving for perfection can blind us to what the world is trying 
              to tell us through our limits.Clowning celebrates being human, even those parts of it we are desperately 
              trying not to be.
 Through clowning we can learn to stay in the present moment and 
              to make peace with our
 shadows and our shortcomings.
 Come join us for a playful weekend free of the “shoulds” 
              and “should-nots”. Come discoverwhat allows our challenges to become opportunities, our mistakes 
              delicious celebrations,
 and our confusions profound insights. This state of being has been 
              known to feel refreshingly
 honest and liberating and to become vital for many who have experienced 
              it.
