May There Be Laughter...


May is National Meditation Month and we celebrated weekly with new ways of enjoying laughing meditation with benefit and feeling. May kicked off with 13th Annual World Laughter Day on May 1st, followed by Mothers Day and our Founders birthday. We capped off the month by our annual parade presence in the Memorial Day Parade with World Peace Through Laughter!

Into our laugh a little windy weather blew more fun!


February Fun and Frolic


February brought about the affairs of the heart. Laughing and opening up the heart centered joyfulness in everyone. Couples of laughter, relationships and more. February was about laughing in connection
with others.


Fun, Games, Freeing and Flowing....Laughter set the tone!



January Gifts of Laughter


In January we began the year with our traditional Fruit Cake Fling. Meeting in Hodges Park this time, we braved the chilly weather, warmed up and smiled for the camera! Celebrating Resolution Bust Day, The Great Belly Bounce on National Belly Laugh Day and the great Blizzard of the Midwest!
