Laughter Yoga, Sound Healing & Breathwork Experience (Toronto/GTA)
**Laughter Yoga, Sound Healing & Breathwork Experience (Toronto/GTA)**
By **[Lynn Himmelman, Life Transformation Mentor](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/laughter-yoga-sound-healing-breathwork-experience-torontogta-registration-1972773377277?aff=erellivmlt#organizer-card)**
[The Redwood Studios: 3rd floor (stairs)Toronto, ON](https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/laughter-yoga-sound-healing-breathwork-experience-torontogta-registration-1972773377277?aff=erellivmlt#location)
Sunday, May 24 ⢠10 AM - 4 PM
**Overview**
An embodied experience of laughter, breath, movement, and vocal sound play - where voice and expression are felt - not performed.
**Remembering Who We Are: A Day of Radical Joy through Laughter Yoga & Vocal Sound Play**
Join us **in person** for an uplifting and interactive experience - a **one-time** unique intertwining of the expertise from two well-seasoned workshop facilitators: Lynn Himmelman, Champion of Laughter & Play and Ann-Marie Boudreau, Vocal Sound Play Specialist Extraordinaire!
**āBefore the world told you who you should be, who were you?ā**
Most of us have spent years perfecting a "mask"āa version of ourselves that is quiet, composed, and compliant. But behind that mask lies a version of you that is ***loud, rhythmic, and wildly alive.***
In a world that often asks us to "dampen down" our inner spark to fit into boxes and meet societal expectations, itās easy to lose the melody of our own spirit.
***This workshop is an invitation to strip away the "shoulds" and step back into the vibrant, uninhibited version of yourself.***
This full-day intensive is ***a sanctuary for the unmasked version of you to come out and play***.
By weaving together the breathwork of **Laughter Yoga** with the resonance of **Vocal Sound Play**, we create a safe container to dissolve the "cloak" of adulthood and remember our original state: ***pure, uninhibited connection.***
**What to Expect**
This isn't a choir rehearsal or a gym classāitās a journey of reconnection. We use movement, rhythm, and sound to bypass the analytical mind and tap into the wisdom of the body.
* **Laughter Yoga:** We utilize intentional laughter as a form of exercise. No jokes are required! Through playful movement and eye contact, "fake" laughter quickly transforms into the genuine, contagious, belly-aching variety.
* **Vocal Sound Play:** We move beyond lyrics and "good singing" to explore the raw power of the voice. Through toning, chanting, and melodic improvisation, we release stored tension and reclaim our unique frequency.
* **Childlike Play:** We revisit the freedom of childhood - before life lured you into a box of limitations - to rediscover a sense of wonder and curiosity.
**The Journey Back to "You"**
The goal of this workshop is a profound **"Remembering."** Together, we will:
1. **Shed the Armor:** Use movement to shake off the weight of societal expectations.
2. **Open the Heart:** Use laughter to break down emotional barriers and foster deep connection.
3. **Find Your Frequency:** Use vocal play to express the truths that words often fail to capture.
4. **Reclaim Play:** Remember that joy is your birthright, not a luxury.
***"Laughter is the shortest distance between two people, and song is the bridge between the human and the divine."***
**Who This Is For**
**This space is for those who feel:**
* A longing to express more fully, but something holds them back
* A sense that their voiceāliteral or metaphoricalāhas been muted
* A desire to reconnect with joy in a way that feels real, not forced
You do not need to be "funny," and you certainly do not need to be a "singer." You only need a willingness to listen inwardlyā¦and allow something to shift.
If you have a heartbeat and a voice you are perfectly qualified to attend. Come as you are . . . and leave as who you ***really*** are.
**What You Will Reclaim**
* **The Freedom to Play:** Reconnect with your "Inner Child"- the one who laughed without a punchline and sang without a stage.
* **Somatic Release:** Use the combination of sound and laughter to flush cortisol out of your system and replace it with a "cocktail" of endorphins and oxytocin.
* **Vocal Empowerment:** Stop "dampening down" your soul. Learn to take up space with your breath and your sound.
* **Heart-Centered Connection:** Experience the profound bond that forms when a group of people drops their guards and meets in a space of shared vulnerability.
**What You Will Leave With**
Not just an experience - but a felt sense you can return to.
* The memory of your unfiltered voice
* A body that knows how to release, not just hold on
* A deeper trust in your natural expression
And perhaps most importantly:
**the recognition that what youāve been seekingā¦**
**has been within you the entire time.**
**Facilitators' Note**
*This is a "no-talent" zone. You donāt need a singing voice, and you donāt need to be in a good mood. We don't use jokes; we use the body. All you need is the desire to be seen and heard in your most authentic form. This workshop provides you with the āHowā.*
**Participant Checklist**
* **Comfortable Clothing:** Wear something you can move, dance, and lie down in. Dress in layers to accommodate periods of heating up and cooling down.
* **Relaxation Props:** Bring a yoga mat, 1-2 pillows for under your neck and knees, a blanket or towel to cover yourself
* **An Open Mind:** Leave the "adult" at the door; they can pick you up at 5:00 PM.
* **Water Bottle:** Laughter and toning are thirsty work!
* **Brown Bag Lunch:** Bring food for yourself (Lean towards, fresh, organic, vegetarian choices in order to align with The Redwood Studios vegetarian policy)and (optional)food to share. Get to know your workshop playmates, socializing and breaking bread together, between our morning and afternoon workshop sessions, in our community gathering spot, The Redwood Green Room, 3rd floor. If you prefer to break away on your own for lunch, be aware that there are limited "eating out" options close enough to the venue to be back within the hour.
***Reconnect with your true self through fun, community, and joyful expression.***
**How to Claim Your Spot in the Workshop**
Please note that this event can be attended **in-person only**.
**Pre-registration is required.** Registration closes at 10pm May 23.

šļøš¶ **DOORS OPEN TORONTO: HIDDEN BUILDINGS & CITY STORIES WALK** š¶šļø
Historic Spaces, Community Landmarks & A City Revealed
Some buildings you walk past every day without thinking twice⦠until the doors open.
Join us for a second day of Doors Open Toronto, where weāll explore a mix of historic, cultural, and community spaces across the city ā each with its own story, purpose, and evolution.
This walk is about contrast.
Old and new. Exclusive and inclusive. Grand and everyday.
And how all of it shapes the city we live in.
This is not a formal tour.
Itās a social, story-driven walk ā with moments to pause, look, and see familiar places differently.

* **Street Haven** ā Founded in 1965, this womenās shelter is housed in a converted brick residential building typical of the area.
* **Jarvis Street Baptist Church** ā Opened in 1875, this Gothic Revival church is built of brick with stone accents.

* **Foy-Smith House** ā Built in 1891, this historic home is constructed of brick in the Queen Anne Revival style.
* **St. Paulās Bloor Street** ā Opened in 1889, this Romanesque Revival church is built of stone with a commanding tower and detailed masonry.
Some locations weāll enter, others weāll experience from the outside depending on timing and lineups.

This is a longer, more exploratory walk with:
āļø Multiple stops
āļø Some waiting in lines
āļø A mix of indoor and outdoor spaces
āļø Members can leave any time the like

Book summary:
On a hot day in Bethlehem, a twelve-year-old Palestinian-American girl is yelled at by a group of men outside the Church of the Nativity. She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.
Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to āpin the blameā on someone or something. If you donāt find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, donāt know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe youāve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
⢠How to āeraseā the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isnāt always repeating past mistakes.
⢠Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
⢠Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
⢠Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
⢠Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
⢠What underlies ācorrosive criticismā or the need to invalidate self or others?
⢠How one can stably change oneās outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
⢠Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
⢠How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
⢠How to enhance oneās own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or oneās career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are āstoredā and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can āeraseā those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become ātoxicā personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you wonāt be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!

Shut Up & Write!⢠Easton Town Center
We'll meet at The Capital One CafƩ, 167 Easton Town Center, Space A-103. This is in the main mall where the Microsoft store used to be, on your left if you're standing at the bottom of the AMC Theater escalator.
Join us on Saturday for an hour of uninterrupted wordmaking!
⢠What we'll do
Join us for an hour of writing! Weāve discovered that itās strikingly helpful to write with other writers. See if itās true for you at 10AM on Saturday mornings.
Be it a book, blog, script, essay, dissertation, resume, melody, poem or just plain work stuff, you are invited to write it with us. No one will see what you've written or give you unsolicited advice. Instead of just thinking about writing, come and get some real writing done.
SCHEDULE:
10:00 - SESSION 1: quick intros.
10:10 - timer starts: write for 1 hour.
11:10 - chat / take off / keep writing.
OPTIONAL SOCIALIZING happens at 11A-11:30ish. Writing is very solitary. Connecting (and sometimes even commiserating) with other writers is a cool thing.
BEING LATE IS OKAY: just show up and get settled, then check-in with me after the session. (Iāll be the person with the Shut Up & Write! sign.) If you were on time, please be willing to make room for the friendly latecomer.
Happy writing and I look forward to seeing you!
⢠What to bring
Whatever you need to be able to write!
Bring earbuds/earplugs if you want to block noise or the occasional conversation by other patrons. Electrical outlets are limited, so charge your devices before whenever possible.
See you at The CafƩ on Saturday!
