We decided to get together and leave our problems outside for a couple of hours each weekend. Improve your sense of humor with improv, on the spot silliness and wit. Who should join? Anyone who sees everything through a dark, rainbow colored or opaque view. Anyone who wishes there was more humor in every day life. Anyone who likes to learn to laugh at themselves and others and not afraid to do it! Anyone who has something to say but too shy and guarded because it might offend someone. Comedy …

There's nothing quite as wonderful as a group of people making things together and establishing friendships in a creative, congenial setting, with perhaps a pint of Guinness or a craft IPA , a cup of tea or a glass of wine. This group provides an opportunity to meet creative folks who live in or near the Boulder area. I have found that having a group that meets regularly can encourage everyone to complete projects (unfinished objects--ufo's) that have been languishing in the closet, and start on …

Laughter Yoga (LY) is a series of simple yet profound exercises based on the philosophy of “acting happy.” Research has shown that the body does not distinguish between simulated and genuine laughter and in either case produces the same “happy chemistry.” In LY we decide to feel good by engaging the body in the physical actions of happiness and relaxation i.e. laughter and deep breathing. This technique does not rely on the mind; therefore one does not need to be happy, have a sense of humor, or …

Writing Church is for you if you’re: a Sinner: You don’t write but you know you should. a Saint: You write three times daily. an Atheist: You don’t believe you’re a writer. an Agnostic: You don’t believe you’re a writer or not a writer. Malcolm Gladwell, in Outliers: The Story of Success, says it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate practice to master a skill.

This meetup is an outreach program of Enlightened Parenting, a division of Center for Seven Intelligences (C7I) a 501(c)3 non profit.
