    Planning a short wellness training for staff.  Wanted to focus on humor and laughter as a wellness and learning support.

    Any good advice?  Link?  Video?  

    Thanks so much!

    Hi Susan,
    I bet this will be such a fun training! Have you seen the work done by Miriam Beloglovsky (she of 'loose parts' fame)? I love her work. I tried to attach an e-book she recently released, but the message was too large. Here is the link to her website: https://www.playfultransformation.com/ where I think you can find the e-book called 'Reawaken your creative and playful spirit.'
    I'm not sure it's what you are looking for, but I think you might enjoy it.
    thanks for all you do!
    Beth

    Earlier this month I presented at a Head Start Conference: "Remembering the Joy" . The focus was on being silly, having fun and remembering the joy of working with young children. Laughter boosts happy chemicals in the brain - I'd say we ALL need more happy chemicals right now!
    Here is a great video that will bring a smile to everyone's face - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOpNAHk0wZI

    Hi @Susan Waldman,

    I reached out to my colleagues to see if they had any suggestions, and one reached out with this sweet video! She shared that it "clearly shows shared positive affect and makes everyone smile". I hope this helps!

    Best,
    Allison​​​
