In these serious times – where there’s definitely something funny going on – laughter keeps us sane. This heart-opening, mind-expanding show features the cosmic comedy of Swami Beyondananda to help you "wake up laughing" and leave laughter in your wake. The Swami will channel information on current global events and the issues of our time and then lead us into a discussion of what we can do right here in Port Townsend to contribute to the solutions that we need to help make it a better tomorrow.

Steve Bhaerman in the guise of Swami Beyondananda has been a fount of comedy disguised as wisdom – or is it wisdom disguised as comedy? Noted author Marianne Williamson has called him “the Mark Twain of our times” because the comedy isn’t just hilariously funny, but also offers sharp social commentary and spiritual perspective.

And then, in part two of the program, you’ll have a chance to meet Swami’s alter ego Steve Bhaerman. In addition to being a funny guy in his own right, Steve has also authored a “serious” book with cellular biologist Bruce Lipton. Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, has been translated into 26 languages, and has been called “world-changing” by both Deepak Chopra and political commentator Thom Hartmann. If you’re curious about how one becomes a comic swami, or the ins and outs of transformational comedy, you’ll have a chance to sit down with Steve and ask him questions as well. You’ll laugh … you’ll learn … you’ll laugh again.

Steve will also present "The 12 Habits of Unity" the path to intentionally evolving our human community, one month at a time.

“A little peace here, a little peace there, and pretty soon all the little peaces will fit together to make one big peace everywhere.” – Swami Beyondananda
