Moving with Laughter and Grief Workshop

Our body speaks the truth. When we don’t feel our feelings, they become suppressed. Our emotions need motion. Of course, we want to feel happy, but when we’re overwhelmed with anxiety, sadness and anger, laughter can feel unreachable.

Paul Denniston will explore with you how we can channel and move the pain through. Pain demands expression. But we don’t have to get stuck there. It’s possible to move with more meaning, empowerment, love, and joy.

Laughter can be a tool. Whether the laughter is real or fake, this workshop is designed to move the pain through to open our hearts with love and laughter.

In this 2-hour workshop, we’ll have an understanding how laughter and grief can be friends, ways to embody and move with both, that will move us toward more peace. This workshop is a compassionate ritual where joy and fun meet deep and sacred. A blend of flowing yoga, tribal techniques and dance to release pain, laughter exercises for healing, and flowing meditations from the heart to allow grief and love to flow.

This workshop is a moving celebration of your spirit that will awaken your tribal pulse to expand with more connection and joy into life.

This can be done from a chair, yoga mat, or standing. This is a practice that isn’t about physical flexibility but emotional liberation.
