[How Humour can Save the World, Sep 27th 2019]
What an evening! We laughed so much that so much of our stress of the week and concerns for the city were healed. We also discussed the scientific benefits of smiling and laughter, how we could learn to be more funny, and how to use it to connect and people and the society. Heartfelt thanks to Kate and Nury.
We will be continuing a discussion on spiritual intelligence this Friday evening. DM us for details!
