Mery Miguez, Clown Love

Mery Miguez is a Clownch, (coaching using clown techniques), an arts facilitator, and a mindfulness coach. She is also a certified Neuro-Linguistic Programming practitioner (with NLP Marin in California).

Her passion is to facilitate transformative learning experiences, where groups get in touch with their highest potential by accessing individual and collaborative creativity. In her experience, she finds that when we are able to tap into collective awareness in the present moment, as a society we are able to sense what wants to emerge in the next moment. The result of this is a profound trust in ourselves, others, and life.

Mery’s unique approach has been shaped by her lifelong journey to find the core from where we humans express the very best of ourselves. She loves finding ways to support people to open up to their gifts and be more of who they really are, she helps people become co-creators of the world they want to live in. Mery is convinced that as each of us finds our place in the puzzle of life, society becomes more whole.

A native of Argentina, Mery moved to New York City in 1997 to pursue her long life love for acting and theater. In 2002 she encountered meditation and Buddhism and it wasn't long until she has found herself with a professional career in contemplative practices which includes teaching meditation and hosting meditation retreats and workshops in the US and Europe.

In 2007 in Minneapolis she met her first teacher of Clown, Giovanni Fusetti where she fell in love with the form. Since then she hasn't stopped taking classes with different teachers all over the world and practicing clowning every time she could. She also has training in Social Presencing Theater and in 2014, she completed her studies of Advanced Social Presencing Theater under the auspices of the Presencing Institute at MIT with Arawana Hayashi and Otto Scharmer, after which she was named a Social Presencing Theater Teacher. She taught this methodology around the world, both in-person and online until March of 2020 when she decided to let it go and became SPT teacher Emeritus.

Mery Miguez now dedicates her life to helping people become friends with themselves using mainly clown and NLP Marin techniques.

Mery brings in every encounter her 30 years of experience in Theater, Mindfulness, and Social Change, blending all that into what she calls now Clownching.
