Elisabete Fernandes

Happiness Queen at Fall in laugh.

Lisbon, Portugal

Originally from Switzerland, Elisabete is a creative soul who firmly believes in the interconnectedness of the human experience and our collective responsibility in building a better world. An experienced filmmaker and art director, she has worked on projects like “Demain Genève,” a documentary highlighting sustainable solutions in Geneva, which has since evolved into educational material used in schools to teach sustainability. In addition to her creative initiatives, Elisabete co-founded the association Action-Margaux, dedicated to breaking the taboo of cancer in the workplace, and co-founded the SheSapiens community to support female founders.

After experiencing burnout, Elisabete joined the Fall in Laugh adventure, finding in laughter the only thing capable of re-energizing her. She is now the Queen of Happiness at Fall in Laugh, where she passionately shares the transformative power of laughter with the world.

“It’s the most effective practice for burning calories.”

About this FieldTrip

Ever wondered what it feels like to truly let go?

Fall in Laugh is your backstage pass to a revolutionary experience where laughter meets liberation. It’s not just a therapy; it’s a high-energy adventure that combines primal laughter exercises, rhythmic breathing, and zen-like meditation to shatter the stress and tensions of daily life.

ABOUT YOUR CO-HOST:

Thomas Cock - King of Joy & Founder

Born in Zaire, raised in Belgium, Thomas has explored the globe in search of laughter and unique experiences. From Montreal to Paris to Brussels, he has conquered comedy stages with his one-man shows.

Thomas has brought healing humor and laughter therapy to San Francisco, working with various NGOs, from shelters for street children to rehabilitation centers for drug addicts and former inmates transitioning back into society.

In Lisbon, he organized comedy dinners between tourists and locals, exploring the potential of laughter as a universal language. In 2019, he gave birth to “Fall in Laugh,” spreading joy to over 50,000 people worldwide and more than 900 companies.

“Life is better when you’re laughing”

Agenda

  • We kick things off with dynamic exercises that trigger laughter from deep within, targeting and releasing muscle tension you didn't even know you were carrying. It's scientifically proven: your body doesn't distinguish between a forced laugh and a genuine one.
  • Within seconds, forced laughter effortlessly transforms into authentic, contagious joy.
  • Throughout the session, we blend theories with practical applications, sharing insights that amplify your experience.
  • As laughter cascades through the group, you'll feel the collective energy skyrocket, boosting creativity, morale, and overall efficiency.
  • It's not just about laughing; it's about connecting deeply with yourself and others, building trust and fostering stronger relationships through shared laughter.

What to know or bring

  • Try to find a nice place where you feel comfortable to laugh and without noises in the back as you will be unmuted during the whole session.
  • We are going to sit for the 5 first minutes and the last 30 minutes.
  • For the rest, we will be standing, so try to find a good spot where you can have a couple of movements.
  • Please, pay attention to the position of the camera, and to the light so we can all enjoy your smile and waves of laughter!

What to expect

Immersive experience!

Participants engage in activities where they're part of the action, such as music events, sound baths, co-working sessions, or movement classes.

It will be recorded!

The recording will be shared within 24 hours in the follow up email for a 4-day window, and available at the top of this page. Make sure to register for access!

How to make the most of FieldTrips

The FieldTrips experience is defined not only by what the host has to share, but also by how we show up individually and collectively. The way we show up impacts our capacity to be moved, inspired, and activated.

Show up fully

Get ready to be immersed! Engage with smiles, nods, waves, emojis. Share in the chat. Get cozy. Turn off notifications. Sip your favorite beverage.

Stay curious

Wear your beginner’s hat. Go with the flow. Welcome the stumbles and fumbles. Congratulate yourself for trying. Keep going! 

Celebrate your host

Our hosts are members of the CreativeMornings community—just like you! Everyone comes to this with different backgrounds—a lot of our hosts have never done anything like this before! And we love that! Cheer them on when something goes awry and when it goes perfectly.

Support each other

We’re all figuring things out in real time. Celebrate, rather than critique emerging ideas. Cheer each other on as you try new things.  Try “Yes! And…” in conversation.

Not vibing?

It’s 100% okay when a FieldTrip does not resonate with you. Pop out quietly and try another experience later. Fill out the survey with your feedback (no dms to host or chat commentary, please.)
