Laughing on purpose—Ever tried it?
What happens when a roomful of humans chooses to laugh on cue? Joy erupts, barriers dissolve, and stress gets shown the exit. In this energizing session, Certified Laughter Leader Vicki Snyder will guide participants through laughter exercises designed to spark authentic giggles, belly laughs, and connection. As one of only five certified leaders in Minnesota, Vicki brings a unique blend of playfulness and intentionality to the art of joyful noise.
Come ready to participate—this session is less sit-and-listen and more laugh-until-your-cheeks-hurt. Comfortable clothes and an open mind encouraged. You’ll leave feeling lighter, brighter, and maybe a little sore from smiling.
