Comedy Improv - A Path Towards a Spiritually Satisfying Life

By practicing the basic rules of improvisational comedy, you begin to walk a path toward a spiritually satisfying life. Improv has become a wisdom tradition of its own and its teachings can unleash the best in us. Doing comedy improv is synonymous to life. We can tend to feel a little off-centered and unsure, but in the act of balancing we become alive, get up, do something, try it out, make mistakes, play, laugh and try it once again. This form of expression allows us to reach beyond ourselves in our conventional lives, realities, and consciousness, to access deeper ways of knowing and even profound spiritual realizations

Workshops begin with an explanation of basic principles which lead to successful comedy improvisation and how these principles relate directly to furthering our human possibility. I then involve the participants in improvised games designed to making the most of their self-awareness. I encourage them to work together with a group mind while also recharging the individual's authentic creative possibility. By working in teams, we eliminate the fear of the individual and focus instead on harnessing the energy and excitement of the group. All of the workshops are highly interactive, low pressure and a lot of fun. When people are having fun, they're relaxed. When they're relaxed, they're listening and communicating, and that's when one is able to overcome fears and insecurities in order to reach their full human potential for compassion, wisdom, and a healthy creative flow.

By willing to be completely present and open to whatever happens, you will find goodness in any situation.
