On May 2^nd, 2010 World Laughter Day, The Levity Project is inviting hundreds of people to ride the subway with us, filling the cars with laughter in downtown NYC from 10:00am-1200pm.   It is a free event which will involve bringing the spirit of laughter to the subway trains of New York City.  Our intent is to spread laughter from the participants to bystanders and back again creating a ripple effect of positivity and possibility.

The Levity Project is a social movement with the mission of shifting the paradigm of negativity, stress, and pessimism in our society to one of play, laughter and celebration. Our vision is to create positive social change by engaging in acts of levity in public places for the purpose of awakening people to the value of bringing joy and lightness into our lives. 

All are welcome to participate in WORLD LAUGHTER DAY with THE LEVITY PROJECT which will meet on May 2^nd at 10am in NYC at a location To Be Announced to registered participants.  You must register for the event to be emailed the details.  We are coordinating different groups of people together from several different stations on specific subway routes and cars.

The Levity Project Laughter Train event will converge in Times Square at 12:00pm, where we will bring our laughter from underground up into the streets of NYC.  The second event is being organized by Dr. Alex Eingorn (dr@betterhealthnyc.com), a Laughter Yoga Leader in NYC.  We will all converge in Times Square at noon.  We will bring laughter from Times Square to the United Nations Plaza, as we walk and laugh together.  The event will end around 1:30.  There is no registration required for the second event.

Interested Participants can register for the Laughter Train with The Levity Project here http://thelevityprojectnyc.eventbrite.com/
