About The Laughing Heart

We are a non-profit organization dedicated to congruent development of each individual and the collective whole. The Laughing Heart combines inspirational entertainment and education committed to providing transformational tools that will help every one of us look at life from the perspective of a laughing heart.

The Strider Innertainment element of The Laughing Heart is a unique combination of conscious comedy, spiritual education, healing and interactive entertainment.

Drawing on a variety of teachings from various traditions of spirituality, psychology and philosophy, Errol and Rochelle present complex concepts in a way that makes them more accessible and relevant to our daily lives. They use loving- and light-hearted modalities that are both adaptive and provocative.

THE LAUGHING HEART MISSION:

To create, produce, and deliver uniquely affective communication models. To promote conscious entertainment packages and educational programs that utilize transformational tools. To propagate creative expression and self-reflection for nourishing hearts, minds and bodies. To enhance personal growth and inspire collective well-being.

WE ARE CURRENTLY FOCUSED IN FOUR AREAS:

1. LIVE PERFORMANCES:

The Laughing Heart/Strider Innertainment offers exclusive evening and matinee performances, as well as segments of a public or private event or professional conference.

Performances are often filmed for distribution in all media formats including DVD, VHS and Internet.

2. MEDIA PRODUCTIONS:
