"Laughter is an instant vacation." ~ Milton Berle
"I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose." ~ Woody Allen
Laughter is a funny thing. We all do it, but many of us take it for granted, not realizing that doing something as simple as laughing can make us healthier and more relaxed. This one time, one hour laughter-based workshop will demonstrate the evidence-based health benefits of chuckles and chortles (yes, there really is research out there about laughing), give you some exercises to get you giggling and guffawing more in your day to day life, and even begin to talk about creating a unique "Laughter Network" right here on campus. Funny, huh?
