Innovative Conferences

With Laughter Yoga Expert Lotte Mikkelsen

UnitedMind and Laughter Yoga are synonymous in London and the UK, and we are always looking to create opportunities for growth, both personally and professionally.

The past years have seen a number of conferences and special days being held in various locations around the UK and 2018 was yet another year with exciting speakers who joined us in London.

The Playing Human Conference is a new brand and new type of conference. We were meant to be back in 2020, however, life took a turn and we will return as soon as possible!

Conferences Of The Past

London 2018

It was extremely exciting to experience the Patch Adams and Pady O’Connor back in London for the 2-day The Playing Human Conference on 27-28 September 2018.

Along with Patch and Pady we had key-notes Robert Holden (UK), Leif Hansen (USA), Linda Leclerc (Canada), Corinne Cosseron (France), and with an outstanding MC, Jo-Dee Walmsley (UK).

The two days were held at Conway Hall in Central London and 100 play, joy, happiness and laughter enthusiasts gathered to spend time together to learn and to play.

Photos from this outstanding event can be viewed on https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10158817737816509&type=1&l=2a7e5c03e7.

London 2018

Playing and Clowning

It was with huge excitement that UnitedMind invited Patch Adams to London in April 2018 to run a workshop. Also speaking and introducing Clown Doctors in the UK was Pady O’Connor of Mee Mee Theatre.

The number 100 seems to be a common denominator for UnitedMind’s events with the theme of laughter, joy, happiness, and the event was a massive success.

Photos from Living a Life of Joy in London on 25 April 2017 are available to view on https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10156529314171509.1073741836.140496616508&type=1&l=f59155ecc5.

Conference, Festivals, and Special Days of the Past

Laughter Yoga Events

Cabourne Parva 2016

UnitedMind joined Laughter Time in organising the conference at their Laughter Festival in June 2016.

The event was popular and the Laughter Festival was planned to be an annual event organised at Cabourne Parva.

The Laughter Festival ran in 2016 and 2017.

Hopefully it will be brought back in the future!

St. Albans 2015

The following year, in June 2015, a number of key-note speakers were invited to be part of the Laughter Yoga Conference held in St. Albans. Once again, almost 100 Laughter Yoga Professionals from all around the world came to Hertfordshire to share laughter, joy, and to learn.

Speakers were Madan Kataria, Sophie Scott, Sue Ansari, Linda Leclerc, Gabriela Leppelt-Remmel, Balbir Nandra, and Laughter Yoga Professionals from around UK and Europe.

Manchester 2014

In June 2014 UnitedMind organised an Advanced Training Day with Dr Madan Kataria and Mrs Madhuri Kataria as the key presenters.

Almost 100 Laughter Yoga Professionals joined us to learn from the founders of Laughter Yoga International when we gatered in Manchester to share the wisdom, connection and compassion.

We also held a special training day in London while Dr. Kataria was visiting the UK.

What an awesome week we had at the Laughter Yoga Teacher training. One of the best weeks I've ever had with a bunch of incredible and like-minded people. Lotte, our trainer, was marvellous and knowledgeable and made our week epic.

Lotte held a couple of session at MADE.com HQ for our lovely employees and it was super fun and got everyone laughing - really brilliant. Our team really relaxed into the sessions and helped release any built up tension or stresses from their day to day life. Everyone left feeling energised as well as with a deep calmness. Thank you for working with us and we look forward to working with you again in the future.

I completed the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training in October 2021. The week was very useful, and I learnt a lot. All the laughter we shared not only in the classroom but also outside was amazing. As a first-hand research, I actually noticed a change in my mind and body after a full week with several laughter sessions a day.

Great laughter yoga online leader course! I was nervous at first but Lotte was brilliant - she has a very easy going, warm and engaging style which really helped. The course was super informative, interesting and fun. Everyone in the group really gelled and it was a very rewarding and supportive experience. I can't wait to get involved in more laughter sessions and eventually start running my own!!

Lotte has been very flexible and compassionate throughout the Laughter Leader Training that I attended live online. The experience was wonderful. I felt supported and encouraged throughout. Lotte gives her full attention and provides a high quality level of information and administration. I found the timing to complete the course was just right, and helped me to attend and manage the course. I highly recommend Lotte who has years experience, deep wisdom and humility; willing to share the learning she has gained through Teaching Laughter yoga. I am very happy to recommend Lotte. I look forward to further training with Lotte.

Excellent course which was adapted for virtual learning. Small group so we had ample time to ask questions and practice skills. Learning was fun and practical. I would definitely recommend Laughter Yoga training and it has already been of interest to prospective employers for role in wellbeing and inclusion.
