Laughter Plus Workshop

Skill Development 

Presented by Dave MacQuarrie  Physician - Psychotherapist (retired),
Laughter Yoga Teacher, with a  PhD in Wisdom Studies.

Laughter Plus came about as a result of a story told by Madan Kataria, the founder of Laughter Yoga.
At one point, a woman came up to Madan and noted that her husband loved attending Laughter Yoga events yet when he came home, he would still yell at his wife in anger. Thus, although Laughter Yoga resulted in a greater sense of well-being, it was not enough.

From this story, Dave MacQuarrie (retired psychotherapist) and Duncan Cook (Master Trainer in Laughter Yoga) decided to combine their skills in offering a deeper grasp of the importance of how the combination of
laughter and therapy can lead to greater life satisfaction.

Hence, laughter provides the backdrop for this workshop, incorporating laughter yoga, energy psychology, neurolinguistics, family systems, with in-depth description of skills for managing emotional life energy more effectively.
