SCAMPS is an online meeting every 2nd TUESDAY of the month for creative activists to share and support each other’s work. We host an open space for clowns, creatives, strategists, and all who are active in or curious about strategic creative nonviolent action that expresses our nation’s democratic principles of freedom of speech and assembly.
Hosted by Rebel Clown teacher Abbey Pleviak. We meet EVERY SECOND TUESDAY at noon Eastern US Time. Each session includes brief, optional, and simple mindfulness and embodiment exercises for nourishing the creative mind-body. We follow this with sharing creative inspiration.
NOTE: You do not need to be a clown to participate. Nor do you need to know about activism. This group is open to all who wish to bring art and nonviolence together to challenge authoritarianism.
