THE LAUGH MAN COMETH!

Now many of you that I'm hosting the first annual Laughter Spring Retreat in Ferryville, Wisconsin from April 19 until the 21st. But what you DO NOT yet know is that the world famous, LAUGH MAN, Doug Collins from Memphis, Tennessee, will be our main presenter. His unique laugh gained popularity on YouTube when he was a part of The Comedy Barn show a few years ago. To date, there have been over 23 million views. He was also featured on Laughology, the full length documentary about laughter. Doug is part of my upcoming CD, Laughter Blasters. 

So if you'd like to spend a weekend getting away from all the stress of your everyday life—singing, dancing, playing and laughing with world famous laughers, this is your chance!  I could not be more thrilled to offer this opportunity. It's what everyone needs! Cost for the entire retreat, including delicious meals and housing in the log cabin village (pictured below) is a mere $150. Plus, you'll receive an official Laughing Laura Bird Pen. Register with a friend and you'll both get a FREE CD or DVD from The Laughter Shoppe.

Our AMAZING presenters will include: Carolyn Christopher and Kathy Wilkinson, Deb Olson, Susan Kiefer, Jill and Dan Johnson, Jody Ross, Doug Collins and me, Laughing Laura! You'll learn a lot from these laughing experts!

The retreat is quite full already but there is still room for you if you register soon. The full amount of $150 is due for registration. It is non-refundable but transferable (so if for some reason you can't make it, you can always send a laugher in your place). A few scholarships are available so if you need one, please contact Laura. We want you to be there! Oh, and tell your friends about it. Registration is also on the front page of www.LaughingLaura.com.

See you soon! Ha ha ha! :)

3-PART VIRTUAL WORKSHOP ON LAUGHTER & HEALING STARTS TUESDAY

1. Are you needing to feel more centered and grounded?

2. Are you feeling self conscious from physical, mental, or societal obstacles?

3. Are you feeling a sense that you “should” be happy because of your circumstances but are not?

These are questions that pertain to our well-being on all levels: our body, mind and spirit. And while there are many paths to wellness, in this workshop we’ll focus on one: the simple, yet profound, healing power of laughter!

Whether you are a Practitioner of Yoga, a Wellness Professional or just wanting to experience a more joyful balance in life this workshop is for you. Discover a new approach to healing with a new perspective on laughter. This workshop series is also wonderful continuing education for any laughter yoga professional.

Come and join Dan and Jill Johnson, your laughter professors, as they bring to the stage three innovative leaders in Laughter Yoga.

Laura Gentry – Artist, laughter ambassador, pastor and Laughter Yoga “Master Trainer”.
Jason Freeman – Specialist in overcoming physical imbalance and “Follow Your Own Lead” Walking Coach
Katie West – Life coach, speaker, author and founder of The Levity Institute.

Through in-depth interviews and hands-on experience, you’ll expand your ability to add laughter as an additional tool in your personal development or profession. Dan and Jill will also share the therapeutic effects of laughter in Integrative Healing.

Come join us in just a few days as we learn to use our spirit of laughter to create a happy, healthier life.
