Fight the Blue Monday blues—the ‘most depressing day’ of the year—with a science-backed laughter workshop to boost your mood.
About this Event

Beat Blue Monday with the Transformative Power of Laughter!

Monday, 20th January 2025 – Blue Monday has been dubbed the most depressing day of the year. The excitement of the holidays is a distant memory, payday feels far off, the credit bill has come in and many of us have already slipped on New Year’s resolutions.

But it doesn’t have to be that way!

Join me for an interactive, evidence-based laughter workshop designed to lift your mood, relieve stress, and bring you a sense of relaxation and joy. This session is the perfect antidote to the winter blues—a physical, joyful experience that brings out natural laughter without comedy, jokes, or humour. It’s a science-based process that nourishes your well-being from within.



What to Expect:
  • Laughter Exercises: Rediscover the joy of natural, heartfelt laughter with fun, guided exercises.
  • Science-Backed Benefits: Learn how laughter boosts well-being, reduces stress and anxiety while enhancing emotional resilience.
  • Immersive Experience: Leave feeling lighter and happier, with techniques to bring more laughter into your daily life.
  • Playful Engagement: Engage with your inner child and reconnect with authentic joy.
  • Everyone is Welcome: No experience necessary

Come as you are, leave with a smile!

Facilitated by: Lesley Lyle, Positive Psychology Therapist, well-being expert, and author of Laugh Your Way to Happiness.

Make this Blue Monday a day of fun and laughter!
