Personalized Ritual Play

Personalized Ritual Play

What's one sincere, open question you have about your life? Perhaps a question about the configuration of your relationships, or the trajectory of your work? Your relationship to creativity and whimsy? Whatever it is, come to HumorVille for a 90-minute personalized ritual play session with interactive artist, performer, and experience designer BenFreeman (me!). We'll start with a mini-spiritual direction session, where I'll ask questions about your question and frame some of what I'm hearing back to you, before settling in together on a particular angle or shade of that question to focus on for deeper inquiry. Then, you'll choose 2-3 of the five attractions at HumorVille for guided creative exploration. Will you get married? Become president? Write a letter, tell a story, make a phone call? Which tools of humor, art, and wellness will help you advance your question? I'll help you find and listen to the inner voice that knows.
