Then Laughter Club is for you!
It is a scientific fact that the brain cannot tell the difference between fake laughter and real laughter – it produces exactly the same physiological benefits. Hearty laughter boosts the immune system, releases endorphins, raises heart rate to boost circulation & oxygen uptake and reduces stress & tension. The session includes laughter exercises, deep breathing, laughter meditation, relaxation and tips on how to bring more laughter into your life with some simple practices.
You will leave looking and feeling younger! Laugh more – enjoy life more!
* Usually the second or middle Sunday of the month

Time: Residential Retreat
Venue: Laurieston Hall,(Near Castle Douglas), DG7 2NB
Cost: £380 (Concession 300)
With creativity activities and laughter meditations, we will see for ourselves how laughter is the best medicine. Laughter is an expression of emotions, a release of tensions, and a channel for increasing health and happiness. Its effect is cumulative. It is a mood altering substance which is both legal and free. Here is a chance to laugh, to play, and to learn not a therapy week but a personal journey week and a week to celebrate!
Every morning we will spend time together, with laughter club activities and different laughter meditations. In the late afternoon we can explore with stories, poems, movement, music, dressing up and games to allow our creativity to play. We gather before dinner with a chance to speak at a talking circle. And in the evening, we can dance and share our experiences.
For information about the week, contact: Sarah, 01644 450 602, email sarah.kleppsattel@laughternetwork.co.uk, or Robin, 07930 570140 , email robin.graham@laughternetwork.co.uk.
