Start bringing more joy, connection and fun to your world

You want to bring more laughter and connection into your work, but balancing care with emotional well-being is hard. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, actor, or clown artist, you may feel disconnected or unsure how to make meaningful, playful interactions. You need a fresh approach that combines empathy with joy.

The beauty of Therapeutic Clowning

As a specialist in Therapeutic Clowning, Alicia Gonzalez brings years of experience transforming how people connect through laughter, empathy, and play. With a background in performance and hands-on work in healthcare, she equips participants with the tools to use humour effectively in their professional interactions.

This workshop offers you the tools to use humour and play as a bridge to connect with others, whether in healthcare, on stage or in daily life.

By joining this workshop, you're not just learning a new skill. You're stepping into a transformative practice that invites you to contribute to the healing and well-being of others while rediscovering your own joy. Whether for personal growth or to make a difference in the lives of others, this workshop offers a rare opportunity to explore the art of therapeutic clowning, where humour meets humanity.

 

    • Practical techniques to use humour, empathy and play in meaningful ways.

    • How to reduce stress, nurture connection and improve communication with patients, clients, or audiences.

  • This isn’t your average workshop where everyone sits in stiff chairs, nodding politely. Nope. We’ve got something way more fun planned:


    2 days of play

    In-person. We’ll dive deep into activities that bring out your inner fool and make you forget about time altogether.


    Tailored to you

    Because every team and organisation is wonderfully weird in its own way, we customise the experience to fit your specific needs and goals.


    Up to 25 playful people

    A small group with big impact. Prepare to get silly and connected in ways you didn’t expect.

  • By the end of this workshop, you’ll feel confident in using humour to break down barriers, improve well-being, and create joyful, healing experiences. You’ll know how to integrate therapeutic clowning into your work, leaving a lasting positive impact on others.
