Awaken Your Innate Sense of Humor to Bring Joy and Laughter into Everyday Life

“The #1 Top Regret of the Dying: ‘I wish I had let myself be happier.’

What if you could simply choose to… be happy? If you could realize that everything we do and strive for (things that end up stressing us out) are attempts at being peaceful. A quality which is available to us at every moment. Using the tools of the greatest spiritual warriors, laughter and humor, we will train to be sacred tricksters and delightful devas (picture the Rocky montage, but you’re wearing a clown nose, and instead of bounding through rubber tires, it’s rubber chickens.) In a safe and compassionate space, the Ha-Ha meets the Ah-Ha, and transforming your everyday awareness into a kind of magical realism.

Exercises will include laughter yoga, storyhealing (re-framing of old stories through humor), everyday improv, guided meditation, and elational alchemy. These playful and accessible exercises allow anyone, in any circumstance, to find their own innate sense of humor and bring laughter and lightness into the dark places, dissolving whatever’s holding you back from opening your heart and living out loud.
