The Laughter Experience by Semaj Williams
Overview
Studies show the average child laughs 400 times a day. As adults we tend to take ourselves too seriously and only laugh an average of 15 times a day. Laughter relieves stress, reduces anxiety, increases self-confidence, discharges physical and emotional tension, and improves immune functions. With Laughter Therapy, Semaj uses breath, movement and sound, instead of humor, to induce laughter. Everyone laughs and everyone leaves feeling better. Groups: 2 hour, half day, and full day programs
