Celebrate World Laughter Day

Sunday, May 7, 2023 -
11:00am to 3:00pm

Learn to use laughter to overcome life’s difficulties! There is power in laughter to help and heal. The idea is really simple: even if you don’t feel like laughing that you just start laughing and your body and spirit benefit, even if the laugh is intentional. Laughter is the universal language of friendship and laughter is contagious.

Laughing increases endorphins, the hormone that induces happiness. Laughter decreases cortisol, the stress hormone. Laughter promotes both mental and physical health. Laughter Yoga combines laughing and deep breathing. The yoga method of breathing brings more oxygen into a body and as you laugh out loud you exercise other internal organs, eg: heart, lungs, and diaphragm. It’s like jogging on the inside!

This event includes fun for the whole family, with hayrides, crafts and activities, and donations benefit NJ Farmers Against Hunger.
