Laugh to Connect

On the 12th of November I was privileged to run a Laughter Yoga workshop at the Nan Tien Temple in Wollongong for the Medicine Buddha’s birthday. It was wonderful!

Here is a little taste of the day, put together by the very professional media team of the temple. New friendships were made and lots of smiles and laughs shared 😅

Pour tous les rieurs francophones qui se baladent sur cette page (Merci Véro pour le partage!)

Je succombe toujours aux gens qui rient. Les gens qui rient m'introduisent un instant dans leur propre tribu. Qu'est-ce qu'un rire, après tout ? Une explosion d'enfance partagée. C'est dans le rire que l'humanité nivelle ses différences et efface ses rides.
Monique Proulx- (Le coeur est un muscle involontaire)

Today’s session was entirely in French with these amazing ladies. We all needed to laugh and did that really well 🤣😂

I believe humans look their best when smiling and laughing. There is something that is so open and beautiful and engaging there. Yesterday i had the pleasure and privilege to run a session at my old school, as part of the first day back
for professional development & care. Aren’t these faces just fantastic?

Peek-a-…boo!! Great session with my Belgian zoom group last Monday 😆😂😀🤣

What a delightful group of carers in Kiama yesterday, this time with them all was very special 🙏🏻
Thank you to the Benevolent Society for their trust 🌻

The November calendar is all about new ideas, new activities, new perspective. It does not need to be big. Change is the only constant in our lives, let’s embrace it and even choose it 😉

Le calendrier de novembre nous invite à accueillir de nouvelles idées, entreprendre de nouvelles activités, regarder les choses d’une autre perspective. Le changement est la seule constante dans nos vies, acceptons-le et choisissons-le même pour nous faire grandir 😉

What a wonderful weekend with Lesley Hills- The Laughter Lady - visiting us in Wollongong. Between a sun-filled co-hosted session at North Gong Lagoon, a visit of Nan Tien Temple and the Luminous Festival in town, it was so precious to share, grow and learn from each other. When you are part of a rare trade, those encounters are gold. Thank you Lesley for your energising company 😅😁😊 we had never met before but laughter certainly connected us 😁😂🤣

Good morning Wollongong!
The weekend is almost there, and our city has dressed up for a festival.
My friend Lesley and i will run a FREE laughter yoga session to add to the fun and joy.

Join us at Stuart park (near the playground)

Today I was very privileged to run a Laughter Yoga workshop at the Nan Tien Temple, for their Wellness day celebrating Medicine Buddha. The biggest buddhist temple in the Southern hemisphere happens to be just a 10 min drive from my my home.

The event was a huge success. From tai-chi to meditation, calligraphy to laughter yoga, every offering had in common to place the participants in the present moment, mindful of their body and mind at the same time. I loved being there!

I imagine the ripple effects such a day may have on the hundreds of participants, but also their family, colleagues, and all the people they get to connect with in their daily life.

Thank you to everyone who ensured this day was so profoundly enjoyable 💙🙏🏻
