Joyworks: Celebrating Mothers and Mother Earth

This workshop is a wonderful opportunity to honor the mothers in our lives, and show our appreciation for the planet that sustains us all. Let’s come together in laughter and joy as we celebrate the amazing women who have brought us into the world, the mothers in disguise in our lives, how we mother ourselves and the incredible planet that gives us life.

Thank you Diana for another grand theme.

FAQs About Our Laughter Workshops

What goes on in a laughter workshop?

We use a powerful concoction of exhilarating games, creative play, discussion, relaxation and ‘laughter yoga’ which is based on mime and play. This encourages everyone to join in.

A laughter event from Joyworks is a unique way to inspire people to do things a little differently. In a short space of time participants can’t help let go of inhibitions and embrace care-free fun. The highly interactive sessions are facilitated as a group with music . Over the years we’ve developed our own inimitable, acclaimed house style. Laughter yoga is interspersed with creative whole group playmaking, games,  creative thinking and group philosophical discussion, breathing, relaxation techniques and dance. Events are peppered with interesting sociological and scientific facts on happiness. We are leading trainers in Laughter Therapy in the UK and have extensive experience across the globe in the health, education and corporate world working with all ages and backgrounds. An uplifting, energising and reflective event participants leave feeling open minded, de stressed and be reminded that perception is everything.

What If I Don’t Feel Like Laughter?

Have you heard the phrase “laughter is contagious”? Well, it’s true. At the start of a workshop, you might not feel like laughing. That’s why we begin by using a proven uplifting concoction of games and laughter yoga. Eventually, alongside everyone else, you find yourself actually laughing naturally and contagiously and leave feeling good about the world and its people. The good news is your body and mind can’t even tell the difference between real and pretend laughter. So even if you pretend at first you’ll still receive all the benefits and it always overflows into hearty and contagious belly laughs. Remember how good that feels?
