This playshop will encourage you to bring out your childlike sense of playfulness and show you how to have fun while releasing stress. Laughter is the best medicine and this workshop is designed to show you how to receive some of the amazing health benefits laughter has on the mind and body.

When we laugh together we feel more open and accepting of ourselves and others, what a fun way to build new friendships.
