JOYtalk is a fun and powerful 'learning spree' for all ages and ethnicities improving wellebing, healing and creativity. Aimed at helping people to create a humour structure they can apply into their own life, friends and family as wellness and joy affects everyone.

‘One good laugh boosts the immune system for 24 hours’.

JOYtalk will:

  • Explore some of the science, mechanics and laughter laws of how joy works with your body, mind and spirit.
  • Learn how 'joyfulness' can work when dealing with trauma, offence & conflict.
  • Use mindfulness activations and meditations that Joy has developed since 2020 that will promote inner joyful peace to lessen sick days that will improve daily life powerfully.

This event is part of the Westminster Winter in the City programme.
