At a time when we are divided by the beliefs in our head, here’s a chance to unite around the love in our hearts!

And the best way to do that is through hearty laughter.

So you are invited to join us for an evening of cosmic comedy featuring Swami Beyondananda and his slightly-more-serious alter ego Steve Bhaerman.

Set One: Stand Up With Swami … In these serious times – where there’s definitely something funny going on – laughter keeps us sane. This heart-opening, mind-expanding, funny and insightful comedy set will help you wake up laughing — and provide plenty of “aha’s” in the wake of the ha-ha’s. Oh, and as part of the program the Swami will answer your questions … and you will question his answers.

For nearly 40 years, the Swami 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.

Set Two: Sit Down With Steve Bhaerman … Swami’s alter ego Steve Bhaerman, in addition to being a funny guy in his own right, 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.

In this “sit down” with Steve Bhaerman, Steve explores how we use levity to “defy gravity” in these seriously unfunny times, and how humor itself can be a tool for evolutionary transformation. You’ll laugh while you learn, and learn while you laugh.
