What did Lisa learn at clown camp? Still a bit hazy from her experience off in the woods of Northern Ontario, Lisa reports back in on her experiences training to clown.

Ted and Lisa start by acknowledging the typically chilly conditions of late-summer San Francisco (2:14) before Lisa jumps into explaining the basics of “Baby Clown” (4:45). Lisa tells some stories from her time on the Clown Bus (9:04) and considers the valuable gifts of not knowing what’s coming (13:20). Ted asks if we could consider clowning a mindfulness practice—and the answer might surprise you (14:39). Lisa talks a bit about what inspires her about clowns (19:44) and describes the markers she carries from her experience, including the red nose (26:11). The pair considers parallels between Clown Camp and other summer camp and retreat experiences (31:30) before Ted shares his contrasting recent experience with an image and fashion consultant (33:18). To close, Lisa describes her experience transitioning back to “civilian” life (40:57).

As always, Lisa and Ted would be delighted to hear from you. Please send a note, question, or comment to join in the fun of this curious romp: [email protected].
