This is a poem written by fools in one of my online Fooling workshops last year. Each person submitted two lines without seeing anyone else’s, and just look at the magic that emerged!

Prompt was to imagine that time/space is permeable. From where you sit, you can see a snapshot from every moment throughout time - all at once. 🐝

A Fooling practice: Word path

FULL VIDEO ON YOUTUBE (see first comment below)

Word path is a structured expressive practice to help Fools walk straight off the cliff of their own liberation, learning to show up without the need to present themselves as smart enough, cool enough, or good enough.

Fooling for Disobedience is a 5-day retreat in New York in October 2024, run by Laura and Alex (at Unspeakable Arts). Read more at laurageiger.com/foolingretreat

ABOUT

Hi, I'm Laura.

I work with individuals, couples, and families to cultivate a deep and reliable capacity for authentic connection. Because healing happens within relationship, we must relearn how to orient toward each other, how to find safety in numbers rather than in withdrawal. Both personal and collective suffering thrive on a destructive cocktail of individualism, intellectualism, and independence. We have elevated the self and the mind above all else, and our survival as a species depends on how deftly we occupy the body (the physical body, the cultural body, the ancestral body, and the ecological body).

I do this through an approach that address multiple layers of consciousness and experiences of self. I work at the foundational level of the nervous system through neurodevelopmental repatterning and primitive reflex integration, at the experiential level through conscious movement, somatic inquiry, and voicework, at the level of cognition through education and dialogue, and at the intuitive level through ancestral work, Akashic (fifth-dimensional) clearings, and mystical metaphor.
