Living with a laughing and a crying eye – Humor in the face of death and mourning

Lecture with Experimentation Phases by Ludger Hoffkamp aka Clown Kampino This lecture is about grief and life, about hope, confidence, and also about humor. Kampino alternates between lecture elements and experimentation phases. He works with the themes of joy and sorrow and paints pictures of life. Especially the images of life, from the past and visions of the future, help us find the light, leading to light- and hope-filled experiences amidst all the grief. Information about the speaker: He has much to say about joy and sorrow as a clown, sharing his lived stories about the significance of humor. He draws from extensive experience as a chaplain and grief counselor, as well as from his work as a hospital clown with elderly and often cognitively impaired patients. He also incorporates insights from new brain research to better understand seeing, feeling, and reacting.
