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.

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).
