Our Initiative

We endeavour to empower everyone with self-sufficient stress reducing techniques to improve mental health and physical well-being. Our practices are designed to easily integrate into your busy lifestyle, addressing the underlying causes, not symptoms. Utilized on a daily basis, the nervous system stabilizes, reducing anxiety, fear and overwhelm. This makes way for increased mental clarity, cognitive ability, and inner calm. Our initiatives are aligned with the Good Health and Well-Being section of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals. 

Global Outreach

Our outreach programs are designed to reach low/er income and marginalized groups within their communities. Groups include but are not limited to: BIPoC, LGBTQ+, elderly, veterans, victims of abuse, individuals with physical/mental disabilities and disorders, 12 step participants, and the incarcerated. 

Mission Statement

We are a unique nonprofit organization providing individuals, businesses and families (no cost for children) with practical self-sufficient stress reduction services, including wellness workshops, meditation (concentration and vedic meditation), breathing techniques and comedy/laughter for sustainable mental health and physical wellness.

Mental Health, Healing and Comedy

Rise Up Comedy fuses the healing capacity of laughter and wellness. It is a comedy-minority based collective (female, BIPoC, LGBT, Mental or Physical Disabilities) led innovative outreach project of Aware Meditation Inc. We offer our unique Stand Up Comedy for Healing Class, produce shows with clean (ish) comedy, emphasizing positivity, uplifting the talent, audience, and hosting location.

All Stand Up Comedy for Healing performances offer non and aspiring comics sets to speak their truth for those underrepresented in the art, as a stepping stone and trauma healing modality via telling their truth in this art form.

 Stand Up Comedy for Healing Course

Maharishi was not joking. "Laughter is the highest state." This is not your normal comedy class. This is healing via comedy. Our Stand Up Comedy Course also known as the Conscious Comedy Class on Zoom has helped individuals with overcome anxiety, fear, boosting confidence and public speaking. Performers and comics find their inner voice and get more vulnerable in their sets. People have discovered that they have made positive steps with their mental health. Newcomers to comedy and seasoned pros experience a unique learning in this healing environment. We don't teach you joke techniques, rather we help you find your authentic voice. Why are YOU funny? The results have been AMAZING. Non performers have been approached by comedy professionals to participate in their shows. Our next courses begin April 12th Weekend 2024 online.
