Laughter Is The Best Medicine - a podcast by Unitarian Church of Edmonton (UCE)

Laughter is the Best Medicine -- Belly Laugh Day

Some believe that humor depends upon the perception of an appropriate incongruity. And, that a good sense of humor depends on the ability to imagine alternative outcomes. Positive laughter fuels positive energy, connection, and creativity. Have you ever had such a good laugh that you cried? Remember how you felt immediately afterward? Laughing out loud releases a neurotransmitter in the brain called serotonin, which relieves stress, reduces tension, and eases the symptoms of depression. Bring your imagination and join us for a multi-generational humor filled service.

The Unitarian Church of Edmonton is a liberal, multi-generational, religious community.
We celebrate a rich mosaic of free-thinking, spiritually-questing individuals joined in common support and action. We welcome diversity including diversity of beliefs from divine believers to humanists, from pagans to atheists and agnostics. We believe in the compassion of the human heart, the warmth of community, the pursuit of justice and the search of meaning in our lives.

We gather with gratitude on traditional Cree lands that are now a part of Treaty Six and shared by many nations. A treaty is an inheritance, a responsibility and a relationship. May we be good neighbours to one another, good stewards to our planet and good ancestors to our children.
