Join Laughter Yoga Leaders Michele Caskey and Jan Butchofsky at HMHC beginning Thursday, March 10th, for Levity Infusion, an hour of laughing, breathing, clapping and moving where laughter is facilitated as an exercise and quickly becomes authentic, jubilant and fun through incorporation of eye contact and child like playfulness. Laughter Yoga is a means of learning to laugh for no reason without the use of comedy, humor or jokes. No actual yoga postures are involved, but the practice is yogic in that it brings balance to the body/mind/spirit as a unified whole. As Dr. Madan Kataria, the founder of the laughter yoga movement says, "When you laugh you change. When you change the whole world changes." Come see how adding more laughter to your life can lead to a greater feeling of harmony, connection and wellness. The Laughter Yoga Club will meet the second and fourth Thursdays of each month from 5:30-6:30 p.m. There is no charge, but donations are appreciated.

Ukrainian Story Drawn in Sand
I found neat that this artist uses anew art medium to speak of history and a painful time for her folks. As showing in the clip, many people were deeply touched.
“May all beings and creatures be free of suffering and diseases.”
