Five members of the Lansing Laughter Club appear in a brand new video called Bubbles of Joy. It was released by The Levity Project, a social movement which works to create a more buoyant society through laughter, play and celebration. I participated in a Levity Project event in New York City on World Laughter Day in 2010 (read about that here). In addition to such events, they regularly create micro-movements by ask people around the world to film themselves doing a particular joyful activity. The Levity Project, then, brings together these video clips and makes a short film to put on YouTube.
Katie West and Ina Lukas, co-founders of The Levity Project, have dedicated the Bubbles of Joy video to their mothers, who both made their transition out of the physical world within a few months of each other this past year. In their honor, we are invited celebrate each precious moment that we have here on Earth. The playfulness of blowing bubbles really invites that kind of mindfulness.
Our group decided to blow bubbles in the sanctuary of Our Savior’s Lutheran Church, where the Lansing Laughter Club meets. We wanted to make a statement about the joy of our faith.
I was so inspired by the fun footage I got of Lansing Laughers, that I put together an addition film of these follies, backed by some songs from the Holy Hysterics CD. Enjoy!
