Brace for some joy

GET ready for an injection of joy when “joyologist” Marc Bright comes to Pomona on 13 August.
Marc presents “joyshops” – interactive performances, art, drama and dance that helps participants find more joy and fun in their lives.
“We all benefit from sharing happy, creative, playful times with each other,” Marc said.
As a performer with 20 years’ experience, Marc said he loved doing whatever it took to put a smile on someone’s dial.
“Joy is essential, otherwise you don’t do your best in life,” he said.
“It’s about helping people find their own answers to things that may not be so joyful. We work to make it joyful. People learn how to make things joyful.
“How much joy you experience and how much joy you bring to others is the measure of a good life.”
Presented by Community Connect, Marc will host a “joyful” morning tea at Lawson Shed, Pomona, on 13 August from 9.30am to 11am.
Everyone is welcome and the cost is only a gold coin donation, with a light morning tea included. Phone 5485 2427 to book your place.
