First Mondays Laughter Yoga & Sound Bath. March Theme: Paying Attention

Rest. Recharge. Reset.

Doors open at 6:30pm for informal connection and community time.

Join us on the first Monday of each month for Laughter Yoga and a Sound Bath, led by our very own Kris Lionjester Ratekin aka The Giggle Gladiator, and The Honeybadger of Joy herself, Rev. Dr. Sarah Ratekin.

Beginning in January, we are opening a new monthly rhythm at the Unitarian Universalist Community Church of Hendricks County (Danville, IN). On the first Monday of every month, we gather for 90 intentional minutes of laughter, breath, sound, and rest. This is time set aside on purpose to begin the month feeling more connected, more grounded, and more cared for.

March’s theme is Paying Attention.
So much of our lives pulls our attention outward. Schedules, screens, and expectations compete for our focus until we lose touch with what our bodies and hearts are quietly asking for. This month’s First Monday Laughter Yoga and Sound Bath invites us to slow down and turn our attention inward.

Through shared laughter we reconnect with presence. Through sound and stillness we practice listening without judgment or urgency. Nothing needs fixing. Nothing needs solving. This is an opportunity to notice your breath, your body, and the wisdom that lives there.

We gather to soften our shoulders, lighten our spirits, and remember that joy is not frivolous. Joy sustains us. Shared laughter helps release what we have been holding. Sound and stillness offer a way to settle back into ourselves again.

This gathering is rooted in the values we hold at The Happiness Haven. Gratitude for the bodies that carry us through our days. Connection through shared breath and shared laughter. Growth that comes from learning when to pause instead of push. Service to ourselves and one another through intentional care. And joyful presence, the simple and sacred act of being fully here together.

No yoga experience is needed. If you can breathe, you belong here. This is an invitation to practice sustainable resistance by choosing care, connection, and rest, all with a healthy dose of joy.

We keep this gathering intentionally small, with space for twenty (20) participants, so the experience stays spacious and supportive. If you feel a gentle tug toward this kind of joyful resistance, trust it and come laugh with us. We would love to begin this monthly practice together.

Laughter Yoga. Breathe Deep. Laugh Loud. Live Light.
