Contemplation & Sound: Laughter Meditation 7.7.21

Rothko Chapel

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. For the month of July, the Rothko Chapel presented a family-friendly laughter meditation, led by Stephen Findley. This offering focused on the power of laughter and humor to encourage healing and release stress from our bodies. Please note some technical difficulties from 5:08-6:30.
