15 Minutes with The Levity Project: A Laughter Flash in Portland, Maine

Thank you all for your emails asking when this video was coming out. If you don’t already know about the 15 minute series, you can learn more here.

On July 15th, a group of people gathered together via word of mouth to create a flash of laughter in a city square in Portland, Maine.  For 15 minutes, they just laughed.  People stared, took double takes, asked questions, and began laughing along.

We did it because laughter is contagious.  Laughter from one person creates ripple effects to another and so on.   I believe we WANT to laugh and that  even in the tough times, we need to laugh.  Laughter is our lifejacket and our oxygen mask.  Now, more than ever, with what is going on with national and world events,  laughter is very much needed to bring us together and to create a sense of buoyancy.

The 15 Minutes with the Levity Project is a series of various social experiments that seek to create levity in public places to create systemic change in the way we see and experience our lives.    Levity is not about changing our situation so much as it is about allowing us to rise above our situation. We become buoyant and lighter than that which surrounds us.

And from this place of lightness, finding our way in our daily life becomes more doable and more possible.  The feeling of lightness offers the perspective we need to make good decisions and the courage to move forward.

Please join us in this exciting movement and add levity to your life and those around you!  Subscribe to our feed, pass the video to those you know, and inquire about how you can join in on the next event.  The next “15 Minute Series”  is August 22nd…contact me to participate or about organizing one where you live.
Peace and Laughter to you all.
