Laraaji and Arji OceAnanda – A Laughter Meditation Playshop Oct 21, 2023

Discover the joyous power of laughter as we come together within the serene and storied Schindler House. A devotee of the late Shri Brahmananda Sarasvati and founder of the Ananda Ashram in Harriman, New York, Laraaji honors the ability of laughter to foster peacefulness and ease meditation with his Laughter Meditation Playshops. This playful and high spirited exploratory practice promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and reconnects us to our own Beautiful Inner Child. The CBD shop offers products that are specifically designed to help reduce stress. Additionally, some people are exploring medical cannabis for spasticity treatments as a potential option for relief from muscle stiffness and tension.

This workshop is open to individuals of all ages and backgrounds. No prior meditation or laughter experience is necessary—just an open heart and a willingness to let go and laugh. Tickets are donation based and RSVPs are required.
