"Laughter (& Chocolate) is the Best Medicine"
Presented by: Joseph Weiss, M.D.
The importance of humor and laughter in daily life has historically been underestimated. The science and physiological benefits are now clear and its true value recognized. While humor and laughter can be of great benefit to the one enjoying it, it can be a double-edged sword and also cause pain and suffering if the humor is at the expense of another. Particularly in a community, workplace, or family, the encouragement and use of humor requires sensitivity and guidance.

"Turning Pain into Purpose"
Presented by: Peter Bolland, M.A.,
Professor of Philosophy and Humanities
​
​
​
We’ve all endured loss, pain, and grief in one form or another, and who among us would ask for more? Yet we also realize that our suffering led to changes that awakened aspects of our lives which we would have not otherwise discovered. If pain has gifts to give, and it does, then how might we cooperate with and facilitate that gifting process? This restorative inquiry will help us take on life’s inevitable setbacks with renewed resilience, gratitude, and grace.
Peter Bolland is the Philosophy and Humanities Chair at Southwestern College where he teaches world religions, world mythology, Asian philosophy, and ethics. Bolland is also a columnist for Unity Magazine, and a frequent speaker at learning communities across the country like the Chopra Center, San Diego Oasis, the Osher Institute of Life Long Learning at SDSU, the San Diego Vedanta Monastery, and numerous churches and community centers.
