“Humour can challenge, provoke, inspire, amuse, act as a balm in complex relationships, stimulate epiphanies, and more, all leading to increased happiness for individuals and groups”.

For many years Dr. Brian Kaplan and Hephzibah Kaplan have been offering a range of practical and fun workshops using creativity and humour. Both have extensive experience delivering workshops nationally and internationally and enjoy meeting new people in different situations.
Brian and Hephzibah are keen to stress that while their considerable experience as healthcare professionals has informed their thinking and provided the necessary experience to work this way with people, they are not usually booked in their capacity as therapists to offer therapy to participants. They are offering a compelling learning experience that stimulates joy, creativity and happiness.
All the presentations and workshops clarify the guidelines for using this approach with fun and safety. They combine some Socratic teaching with art-making, pair work exercises and demonstrations. It is a high-energy experience and participants usually leave feeling elated (as evidenced by the feedback).
Depending on the location, they bring all the art materials and their button press so everyone can have a chance to make and design their own buttons. As creatives they enjoy the challenge of configuring new workshops to suit their various clients, so do feel free to ask them about anything!
Unsurprisingly they also have delivered many hours of workshops and seminars on Zoom!
