Laugh On & Levitate
We highlight laughter in a time of great injustices through stories from a variety of guests. We explore laughter as part of your spiritual practice, our medicine and how can laughter bring healing during a time when many of us are living with a constant low-grade ache in our nervous systems. We laugh and find ways to bring levity to everyday life and our communities.
