WELCOME TO HOUSE OF HOLY HUMOR!

House of Holy Humor is a secular congregation for the humor arts founded by Jester of the Peace, Reverend Artist Barbara Ann Michaels.

You and all humans are welcome.

We uphold and practice love, art, and humor as our vital tools for living well, with each other and with ourselves.

Humor is the fastest untapped force on the planet for healing and harmony.
Love creates connection in the face of division.
Art helps us each communicate the mystery and majesty of life.

ONLINE SERVICES

House of Holy Humor presents a participatory online service in 3 parts:

PART 1: HOLIDAILY: The Holiday of the Day
Holidays make us brave. Humans use holidays to stretch into new action and as a reset. Every week, we celebrate a personal growth holiday at House of Holy Humor. Be charmed, and armed with positive power to change.

PART 2: IT'S FUNNY NOW, A Circus of the Heart
Our sacred readings are each other's stories of resilience and renewal. Be inspired and fired up each week by humorous true tales of once-challenging times. Behold, be told and be braver. And Now... before our very hearts... an act of doubt-defying splendor... a funny tale of healing what seemed nigh impossible to overcome at the time...

PART 3: A RESOURCE & A SURPRISE
Whether a book, a practice, a gift, an experience, a song... House of Holy Humor curates tools that help us find and give our gifts to our local communities and our global family. What will it be? It's a surprise...
