Laugh Pact: Laugh for Your Own Joy

2021 3-25 Laugh Pact QuoteDear Laugh Pact Friends,

When I was looking for a quote about spring, I came upon this lovely gem from Oscar Wilde. I immediately thought, “we laugh for our own joy.” And it made me smile.

Here’s a selection of new Laughter Yoga Sessions, educational videos, articles, books and events. I hope they help you smile and laugh for your own joy!

One very special event that’s coming up is Slash Coleman’s “Redefining Addiction & Recovery Through Laughter Yoga” Zoom workshop on April 7th. Slash is an excellent teacher and storyteller… he also happens to be a super nice guy. All workshop proceeds benefit Laughter Yoga USA, a 501 (c)(3) not-for-profit organization (full disclosure: I volunteer with Laughter Yoga USA). I highly recommend checking it out!

Take care & LAUGH ON!

Laughing with Molly: Sunday, April 11 at 2 PM Central Time / FREE

In Laughter Yoga, we choose to laugh – not because anything is particularly funny – but just because we can. We accomplish this through a series of simple exercises (clapping, breathing, affirmations, and laughter) that will leave you feeling great, thanks to the D.O.S.E. of dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins we generate! The sessions last about 30 minutes.
