One of the great Danish Golden Age painters, J. Th. Lundbye, said about friendship that its meaning could be a complete amalgamation of a couple of people’s minds where no thought in one of them is hidden from the other.
I was privileged to visit the exhibition “Like brothers. Frindship and conflict in The Danish Golden Age” at Fuglsang Museum in Denmark when I visited my mum earlier this year.
A real flashback to my school years where these painters were part of our curriculum.
However, now the paintings connected with me in a rooting and beatifully appreciative way, presenting my Danish legacy to my adult eye, mind and heart.
In The Danish Golden Age (approx. 1800-1850) the artists formed close networks which shaped them as artists and brought the into the world where competition was tough.
Just like in any line of work where there are visions and ideas, individuals and groups.
The exhibition showed a side of the strong friendships and networks which created art history but also how the group dynamic could lead to exclusion.
Sometimes friends break up as friends. Sometimes when there are lessons in this life to learn from being separate. Sometimes friends are not true friends.
Forgiveness is one thing friends do.
Friends know friends.
Friends are soul family – whether they stay long or short time in our lives, or they arrive early or late, they are people sharing a special kinship.
Some of you beautiful souls are held dear in my heart even if we rarely speak and even more seldom meet, you have a special place in my heart forever, and I know when we see each other it is as if time has not passed and we kick off where we left things last time.
At this time in my life I have no expectations to making new friends yet it seems friendships find me and I am overjoyed and feel the blessing of new friendships.
Through education, through my company and the training I provide, through the different companies I have worked for in the past and in the present, through the journey of life.
Friends come in every size, shape, age and other ‘trademarks’.
You are awesome people who have entered my life in one way then connecting in another super-dimensionally charged way called friendship.
We share this Earth and we share this time, we will share many more joys and sorrows, and mostly I look forward to many moments of kinship and friendship.
Here’s to friendship in an ever-changing life!
Love, Friendship, Honesty, Kindness, Health, Hope, Goodness, Grace, Gratitude, Understanding, Faith, Peace, Forgiveness, Patience, Diligence, Love, Blessings and Joy from me to you!
LotteMikkelsen Laughter Yoga Specialist and Master Trainer #youreverydaylaughterqueen
The privilege and honour to be invited to share laughter in workplaces is immense and I hold huge respect and gratitude to those who book me for a Laughter Workshop.
Below are a few comments from organisers and delegates, you can read more via the links below.
It’s not what you expect
We first saw Lottie at an event where the session was called laughing yoga, and we were not prepared for what was to come! It was such an interesting experience that we brought her to our office for Mental Health Awareness Week as a surprise activity. We didn’t tell anyone in advance as we didn’t want them coming with preconceived notions – or not coming to the session at all. People were nervous at first, but settled in and all left with a positive attitude. Lottie is great at what she does, and breaking down how a bit of laughter and joy in your day can make all the difference.”We first saw Lottie at an event where the session was called laughing yoga, and we were not prepared for what was to come!

Thanks, Lotte, for a brilliant global laughter session
Thanks to Lotte, we enjoyed two great laughter therapy sessions attended by colleagues from across the globe. We had some people in the room and some people online, and Lotte handled the hybrid delivery brilliantly. What better way to show your heart and soul some love on Valentine’s Day than by taking time out of the working day to laugh together!
Lotte delivered an incredible laughter…
Lotte delivered an incredible laughter yoga session for our Christmas conference for all our store managers at FatFace Head Office. She has fantastic communication, and nothing was ever too much trouble. The session was greatly received by all, and was a real energiser and something different for the team.
In 2007 I began teaching 2-day Laughter Yoga Leader Training and I have not stopped since then.
I started teaching because I wanted to share with others how they can spread laughter and joy to their communities, to share my stories from corporate and charity workshops since 2003 and inspire others to do the same.
What a blessing it has been and I am still in love with teaching Laughter Yoga.
Why?
Because sharing how to possibly ignite laughter in life where there may not have been much laughter or where people see opportunity but not sure how to, is rewarding and life changing for myself and those who choose Laughter Yoga.
Facilitating training and workshops makes a difference to everyone involved and when we see a new perspective where more laughter and joy is involved we can more easily see change in other areas of life.
Please join the training if you long for more laughter in your own life and/or see the endless opportunities and miracles of sharing laughter with those who have little of it.
I teach in St Albans in September, Durham in February, and Preston in May. Throughout the rest of the year I teach in London together with Mel.
The training has gone from learning the basics of ‘ho ho ha ha ha’ to a fully-fledged transformational experience with deep learning and serious laughing.
Laughter Yoga Training brings you powerful and empowering transformation where you may find your mind becoming quiet for once.
When it restarts chatting it will ask the right questions about how to bring laughter to your own life on a daily basis and once your own transformation kicks off you may wish to share Laughter Yoga with others.
Or you are already ready to go big and bold with laughter in all aready of life!
We can help guide and direct you to the best support structure for having that daily practice – the rest is on you, and later we will work together to make the best laid plans where possible.
People living with MS and other conditions benefit hugely from a daily practice of Laughter Yoga as the stress that often can cause deterioration of health through the impact of relapses can be reduced and the effect potentially diminished.
I am grateful to be able to share Laughter Yoga with MS Society members until end of 2025 and if we get it right we may even continue.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to share laughter with us in the Laughter Club International (UK) St Albans on Zoom – and bring a friend or your whole tribe.
