Presence Through Play! | Laugh out LIVE!

Laughter is the best medicine! Join Laugh Out LIVE! for 90-minutes of gut-busting fun using the principles of improvisation to release tension, awaken joy, and return to the present moment—one full-bellied laugh at a time!
Participants will be guided through a series of fun ice-breakers, group improv games, and joy-sparking activities. No experience necessary—just a willingness to say yes, try something new, and rediscover what it feels like to play!

Join Laugh Out LIVE! on the shores of beautiful Alta Lake, set against the majestic backdrop of Whistler Blackcomb for an experience that blends mindfulness with amusement in this soul-nourishing session that uses playful improvisation, breathwork, and conscious connection with oneself and others to help participants release tension, awaken joy, and return to the present moment—one belly laugh at a time. Perfect for 18+ adults seeking to balance their inner peace with a little inner play.

Laughter has been shown to reduce stress hormones, boost immunity, and increase feel-good endorphins—and when shared with others, it becomes a powerful way to bond, heal, and be fully present. This is a space to loosen up, let go of perfection, and remember what it feels like to play freely—even (especially) as an adult.
