Maya the Peace Clown 





Maya the
Peace  Clown




Maya the Peace Clown came into being on Halloween 2007.

I moved to Mill Valley July 1st, 2007.  This small community felt like my new home right away and I got the idea to hold a peace dance with peace songs from the 60’s to now.  Being a babyboomer and a dancer I had always wanted to hold such an event, but finally the inspiration was ready to manifest.

This peace dance was held at the community church in Mill Valley on Sept. 21st (the U.N.'s Intl. Peace Day), and it turned out to be the first of my annual peace week events to coincide with international peace week.  Then I woke up Halloween morning feeling a desire to dress up ( I love to dress up at Halloween!) and go around sharing the peace and joy I felt inside of me.    I had a clown costume from a previous Halloween, and the idea came to me to become Maya the Peace Clown.  I created my "prescription for inner peace" and went around downtown Mill Valley with my basket of candy and my "prescription" on a small piece of paper. 

                                                                                                    


The next appearance of Maya the Peace Clown came the following spring at the Mill Valley Memorial Day parade.  I dressed up in my clown outfit and carried a huge sign with my prescription for inner peace on it.  It was a delight to get to walk along the parade route and wave at all the children!

         
In September 2008, for Peace Week I asked Austin DeLone and his band to sing 2 peace songs at the yearly Mill Valley block party.  I again dressed up as Maya the Peace Clown, handed out the lyrics to the songs, and stood on stage encouraging the audience to sing-along!

In 2009, during Peace week, I taught an Embodying Peace class based on the wonderful ebook by Paul Linden called "Embodying Peacefulness". 

In 2010 I joined the "Seniors for Peace" at the Redwoods Senior Community for their demonstration for peace, and later handed out "prescriptions for peace" in downtown Mill Valley.
