WHO ARE WE?
Our School has been creating joy since 2007 with the purpose of accompanying people, groups, teams and organizations on their journey towards health and empowerment. We do this through workshops, training courses and motivational talks.
We are part of a great international movement of institutions, schools and professionals dedicated to creating well-being experiences from joy, tenderness and pleasure.
We unite the world of laughter therapy and art therapy because we see they are interrelated worlds that enrich each other and speak languages of the same family, that of creativity and spontaneity. Our tools are: play, laughter, movement, art in its different forms and guided meditations.
Our languages are: Spanish, Catalan, English, French, Russian, Arabic.
VISION
My rights = My responsibilities
Rights and responsibilities always go together; They are inseparable. Everything I consider my right to receive from the world is my responsibility to give to the world. We consider this to be essential for integrity.
We defend the right of human beings to joy, tenderness, pleasure, as well as acceptance, respect and beauty. These qualities are manifestations of the connection we long for with life. We have the right to live them and the responsibility to share them to continue growing on a personal and social level.
MISSION
SOW SEEDS OF JOY AND TENDERNESS AROUND THE WORLD.
VALUES
-
Cooperation and enjoying the process.
-
Celebration of “Yes”. We focus on the positive: yes I have, yes I can, yes I know.
-
The power of “And” instead of “Or”. We invite to Inclusion.
-
The mastery of “How”. How ≥ What. (What we do is important, how we do it is even more important.)
WHAT IS LAUGHTERAPY?
Laughter therapy is a method to go deep in ways that are easy, light and playful. It is the art of guiding people to experience the energy of their heart.
This energy is a potential that we all have and that deep down we all long for because it is innate for human beings to live from there.

TESTIMONIALS
Mercé Vendrell

ABOUT US
NAILA QALQILI
I am a citizen of the world. I have lived in 11 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. I studied at 9 academic institutions in 4 countries. I speak 5 languages. I worked as a teacher, translator, TV correspondent, diplomat. Life for me is movement. And just as everything changes, it's not strange that I change!
For many years I felt like I had a sea of roots all over the world. I belonged everywhere and nowhere. Over the years, my geographical pilgrimage around the world became a inner pilgrimage. Living in war zones, where there is a lot of sadness, fear and anger made me value joy, tenderness and beauty.
I began to open new doors of consciousness. I trained in Emotional and Relational Intelligence, Laughter Therapy, Art Therapy, Play and Creative Coaching. Also in Executive Coaching aimed at companies, Gestalt Therapy and LNT. This way I was able to make a change in my professional career, to align it with my inner life, and I now accompany other people on their transformation journeys.
Taking over the Escuela de Risoterapia de Barcelona (the School of Laughter Therapy of Bcn), founded in 2007, is a gift and a privilege for me. I wish to share this gift of joy and tenderness with all the people who want to connect with their hearts through play, art and laughter.
LOVE IS JOY, TENDERNESS, PLEASURE, ACCEPTANCE, RESPECT AND BEAUTY.
SUSANA TERES ALONSO

True joy depends largely on the deep meaning we give to our lives.
