Workshops
Enriching Your Life With Laughter - Laugh For The Health of It - Alan Happ, psychologist and Chief Laughter Officer of the Triangle Laughter Club will teach us the benefits of laughter. Each session will help people use laughter to reduce stress, spark creativity, and increase charisma. The first session will introduce participants to the laughter club concept. We will address questions such as, “Is it crazy to laugh for no reason?” and “Will I really be sexier?” In the second session, we will have a good time exploring why laughter is the best medicine. Have you ever wondered why you can’t tickle yourself? Why is it that babies laugh before they walk or talk? Do you know what lowers blood pressure with only positive side effects and no cost, and yet, is contagious?
