Twelve Moments: Experiencing Spiritual & Faith Traditions
Laughter Meditation with Stephen Findley

Over the next year, each Twelve Moments will highlight the role of music and sound in spiritual practices, and how these practices sustain us in the face of current challenges and injustices.

This offering focused on the power of laughter and humor to encourage healing and release stress from our bodies.
