Silence Retreat…shhhh ! ! !

On the 6^th to 10 July there will be a Laughter Yoga Silence Retreat being held in Melbourne. This is the first time such an event has been held in Australia and is sure to be a revealing regenerating and revitalizing experience. The venue will be the Brahma Kumaris Retreat in Frankston South. This is a stunning venue and location that is ideal for this application. The Brahma Kumaris organization are very aligned to the benefits of silence and were very supportive of assisting us with this event. Once again a flier will be in your Inbox by the end of the month.

Dates for Dr Kataria’s October Australian Visit

In October the Good Doctor will be journeying to our shores once again this time to conduct Teacher and Advanced Teacher Training sessions. These will be held at the YMCA Camp Yarramundi that is in the foothills of the Blue Mountains on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. Teacher Training will be from the 5^th to the 9^th October and the Advanced Training on the 12^th October. If you are serious about taking Laughter Yoga to the next level these events will be a must as they are generally only available once a year. Exact details have been confirmed and will be distributed shortly 

Laughteryoga Conference in Sydney

In the middle of the two training sessions will be the 4^th Annual Australasian Laughter Yoga Conference on the 10^th and 11^th October. If it’s only half as good as last year it will be GRRREAT. We are once again expecting a large contingent of folks from overseas so hope to make this a truly International Event. I feel a fourth flier coming on here. Watch this space

Their purpose is to provide an array of speakers and events that enable people to develop and lead a much more healthy, fulfilling, and abundant life.
