First Fools,
Captured
On April 21 through23, 2006, an intrepid group of imaginers (artists, scholars, therapists, goof-offers, wisdom seekers, film makers, writers, musicians, actors, teachers, and dreamers) joined together in Ojai, California for the very first gathering of Imaginal Institute Fools.
Inspired by guest Fomenter and Lord of Misrule, Dr. David L. Miller, (Watson-Ledden Professor of Religion, Emeritus, Syracuse University , former Pacifica Graduate Institute professor, and world-class sacred jester,) the group spent the weekend imagining myth, community, and imagination itself.
Join the First Fools, Virtually!
In the spirit of the sacred fool, who knows both all and nothing, this group will share wisdom and wonderings. With this DVD, you can share in the weekend's worth of conversation, and spark your own imagination!
