With Laughter Yoga, hilarity brings clarity! Like physical yoga, breath and presence is of the essence. But, in Laughter Yoga our exercises are about movement rather than postures. And, our breath and movement are fueled by laughter! My name is Tommy Westerfield, and I am a Certified Laughter Yoga Instructor. I received my training at the American School of Laughter Yoga in Los Angeles in 2009. What I love about Laughter Yoga is you don't need to be happy, or have a sense of humor, or even have …

"Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there" - Gary Snyder Don't let the weeds take over our mountain! Not only are they ugly and prickly, but they're also changing our mountain: more weeds = less wildflower + more fires. The vast majority of the mountain is in good shape but the nasties are starting to take hold and move around. Let's stop them before they really get going. Say it with me, pulling broom is fun oh so fun oh so fun, I wanna do this all day long... M …

It is the place where truth and transformation manifests as power and the spirit within us. I …

You may go into a journey with a question, and meet various beings who will often give very good advice and information. This kind of work can be very inspiring and empowering. Perhaps above all, it offers the opportunity to develop an awareness of realities quite different from this one. However, if a participant's belief system won't go there, and she/he credits it all to imagination, it can st …
