PODCAST about Clowning and Passion
Check out the latest podcast episode by Authentic Journeys featuring yours truly, the host Luis is a member of the El Juego healing arts community in Colombia, where I spent 4.5 months living this year. On this episode he asks me about my work and my relationship to the subject of Passion and where it has influenced my life… what a great theme to explore and to speak about. Passion for me is the fire, creative life force, expression… Turns out my life is all about passion…

In Other News:
I have thankfully received funding from the Uk Arts Council to develop written references
regarding my research and work in Clown & Ritual. I am currently working with international mentors,
investing my time and energy in my writing and research on my latest book 'The Clown Arcana' A referential book exploring The major Archetypes of the Tarot through what I call the 'clown lens'.
I will be running fewer programs than usual to focus on my writing and studies.

Zuma in her philosophies, teachings and continuous passionate spreading of ClownLife into this world is literally witnessing a contemporary visionary at work. For years, I have heard about Zuma’s unique insights to the creative voice and clown – and she delivers beyond any expectations, transcending our shared human condition into a self-charged gift into individual artistic expression. Zuma invites those around her to play with everything, embody everything and bring in creativity as a life practice for everyday.” - Elaine Weryshko (Past Participant) *Check out the Facebook page for many more testimonials from past participants. ************************************* INVITATION You are invited to join an intimate group of international creatives as we embark on a 6 week long journey towards a healthy, whole hearted, creative way of living and being in the world. Through harnessing our creativity we can come to strengthen our bond to our inner worlds of expression and therefore cultivate a deeper enquiry within our creative output. The arc of the course follows the Hero's Journey and whilst it is a self reflective space there will also be a sweet dose of collaboration and sharing. As creatives we can often feel alone in our pursuits and so this space has been designed to bring us together, to inspire, uplift, develop, share ideas, collaborate and explore our creative selves in a space where we can deepen our relationship to our personal creativity whilst feeling supported by the collective. If you are craving more creativity, community support, dedication, intention, coaching, self nourishment, self care, play, collaboration, laughter, ritual, connection, movement, painting, poetry, and a space to share your life, your words and wisdom this is the space for you. You will be encouraged to dedicate yourself to a creative practice that is rewarding to your wellbeing and empowers your creative expression. Every week we will embark on a different theme that follows the arc of the Hero's journey. Our creativity will become a vehicle to help us process life; encourage new ideas, motivations, thoughts, insights and musings. Our group sessions will be an opportunity to research our creativity, to share our discoveries, collaborate, dream, inspire and get super creative together along the way. The arc of the HYCP course has been designed to meet us where we are at in our lives and many participants choose to take the course again and again as a dedication to their creative expression. ******************************* What will the course look like? WEEKLY MEETUPS: Beginning Monday March 10th and continuing every Monday from 6:30pm -8:30pm GMT- we will begin our 6 weekly supportive group sessions- Involving Community check in/ talking circle, ritual , dance, embodied movement, painting, games, free writing, sculpting, collaborative projects, clowning and play etc. See below for the course outline. **************************************** COURSE OUTLINE Week One: The Self In preparation for the quest.

One to One Coaching Sessions
Our coaching session may include; Talking council, movement and somatic release, voice/ sound, Neuro Linguistic Programming, Inner child work, Shadow work and in some cases may also involve a take home practice for you to continue to work with.
My work is informed by my experience and knowledge from years of working and training as a well being coach and facilitator of clown, ritual, movement and personal development practices. I am a Neuro Linguistic Master practitioner and occasionally draw on this knowledge within my work as a life and creativity coach to help carry lives in a healthy way and re-wire the mind for positive. My work has a forward focus, it is my intention to help you to move through whatever has been holding you back and to create healthy strategies for a future that is in line with your unique values, gifts and desires.
I draw on my experiences with shamanic, movement and clown training and apprenticeships to help individuals gain insight and clarity in navigating life in a whole hearted way. I will help you to deepen your personal enquiry as well as offering tools that can support your emotional, energetic and physical well being.
The Session: Each session lasts approximately an hour. The first session will be focused around hearing where you are at and what your needs and desires may be in your current situation. In this introduction I will ask questions to deepen my understanding of your needs and wants and help you find a practice or strategy to work with after our session to help you take the steps towards a healthy change in your life.
In some cases one session is sufficient to get to the crux and make positive change. Ideally like most coaching and therapeutic works, I would recommend at least 3 sessions to help move towards more of what you want.
Fee: My fee is £50- £75/ hour. Payments can be made by Bank Transfer or Paypal. The session will be scheduled once the payment is received. Payments for the session must be paid in full before the session takes place.
Scholarships: Reduced cost scholarships are available for individuals whom are not supported by the current paradigm. Please enquire if you are in need of a supported scholarship.
Booking Enquiries: Please Email [email protected]
