Who Is It For?
This training is of interest and value to anybody interested in finding the freedom to color outside the lines of their life, as well as gaining a deeper degree of understanding of a refreshing, reliable, and fun solution in the areas of wellness and well-being, change, and stress management, communication, collaboration, engagement, and leadership.

Learning Objectives
- Learn easy and practical ways to scaffold your laughter circuitry, enrich your life with the energy of laughter and playfulness, and build conscious optimism. It’s a path filled with laughter, but all about wellness.
- Learn how to find joy even in challenging times. This is not a process of adding something that’s missing, but rather of letting go of what’s blocking the joy that’s already inside of you from its natural and free expression.
- Understand the science of laughter and acquire foundational Laughter Wellness skills: how to introduce yourself effectively to create maximum interest, how to create a team spirit quickly and easily while safely and respectfully identifying and removing any potential troublemaker(s), how to shift people’s mindset quickly and easily from thinking and doing into feeling and being as they engage in upward spirals of positivity, and more.
- Enrich your Laughter Wellness toolkit with 50 foundational exercises and activities. You will go home knowing how to teach three ready-made and fully documented Laughter Wellness interventions included in the training.
What is Laughter Wellness?
- Laughter Wellness is a welcoming whole-person well-being workout that unlocks people’s smile muscles and positivity.
- Beyond the fun experience, people love it because it’s an easy and refreshing way to learn simple and powerful self-care practices and improve one’s well-being and quality of life.
- It’s powered by a safe, systemized, and professional delivery system for the science of laughter. The way it works is like a circuit breaker for pain and negativity and a washing machine for dirty emotions. It intentionally sets the energy of laughter in motion, acting as a powerful trigger for benefits in five dimensions (physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health) that form the foundation of healing. We follow a simple and safe 5-step process that’s designed to scaffold people’s laughter circuitry and promote the trifecta of happiness: a sense of fullness, feeling anchored in the present, and a sense of freedom.
- Laughter Wellness offers hundreds of documented, reliable, and joy-filled techniques and exercises you can implement immediately and benefit from. It also requires no special equipment, environment, or clothing. It is relevant throughout people’s lifespans and can be used alone or combined with other modalities. It was created in the late 2000s and is now practiced on 5 continents.

The information was useful and robust. I loved interacting with others in the breakout rooms. It gave me confidence to try zoom. My laughter yoga club was cancelled and I am planning on an online format. I like how you modeled connectivity online.

I had just scheduled my 1st two Laughter classes and this makes me feel sooo much more confident about leading them. The info on the neurobiology is aligned with my being a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. Part of the reason for teaching Laughter classes is as marketing for my counseling business, so having the process grounded in neurobiology is aligned with that. Sebastian has created a thorough webinar, fun, easy to follow, with helpful small group exercises/ practice and supportive materials to download. – Susan Atchison
