Participants are invited to shed their assumptions, pursue neglected impulses, and embrace the unfamiliar through a variegated selection of events, challenges, questions, prompts, and open-ended explorations.
The Fool is a cultural archetype associated with beginnings, innocence, and spontaneity. The Fool represents an “every person” on a journey of self-discovery, questioning everything in a very open and embodied way. Being an outsider, the Fool can be the one who presents the unseen possibility or expresses unthinkable thoughts.
The Fool tarot card depicts an innocent walking along the edge of a cliff, about to fall off the precipice or take a leap of faith. Unnumbered, it holds an ambiguous place as either the lowest or highest aspect. In games, it is sometimes called “the excuse.”
Open hours are Wednesdays and Sundays from 12-5.
During these times, anyone may drop by to become initiated into the Festival and receive ongoing support.
Besides visiting during open hours, you can join the Festival by attending an event, hosting one yourself, or simply playing the fool privately and on your own terms.
Events will be publicized via the mailing list and through Value Collective’s Facebook page.
Some documentation and updates will also be shared on Instagram.
