Together with their combined expertise and experiences they created the foundation for the Laughter Workshop experience. There are now over 6,000 Certified Laughter Leaders (CLL) around the world.

• The ability to participate in and create spontaneous, uninhibited, joyful, mirthful laugher with others and for one’s self. This one of the most important characteristic goals of the therapeutic laughter method.

This program will allow participants to:
