Uplevel Your Costume (or Find Your Idea)
I have been a costume nerd for over 25 years. This includes spending much of my free time over the last decade being a part of Risk of Change, a sacred mummer ambiance troupe that wow’s at Oregon Country Fair and at paid gigs around Portland.
Despite closets full of costume options, I still sometimes get that last minute anxious panic as to what I am going to be for Halloween. Luckily, I love the creative journey that this panic takes me on, and I want to offer you some ways to access or enhance your own perfect costume this year.
Make Halloween Meaningful
It’s time to figure out what you’re going to be for Halloween (if you haven’t already).
Some of us enjoy a clever wordplay joke as a simple costume. Others may learn some dance moves to be their best Olympian Aussie breakdancer.
I prefer to focus on how you can relish this opportunity to express some darkness within.
Halloween can be healing. It’s an opportunity to look at the parts of you that reflect the Moon card’s disturbing hidden secrets.
The Magic of Masks and Creative Play
This week, I will be parading around in an outfit covered in eyeballs, surrounded by about 20 people in their own eyeball outfits.
I love getting into costumes and characters. This play has offered me enormous lessons about both humans and my Self (the Jungian big S version).
