You Don’t Have to Be Serious to Be Sacred

How Laughter, Play, and Weirdness Might Just Be Your Holiest Tools

Somewhere Along the Way…

We were told that to be spiritual, we had to be solemn. Silent. Still. Stoic.

Maybe it was the pews. Maybe it was the robes. Maybe it was that one meditation retreat where sneezing felt like a sin.

But here’s the secret nobody tells you: You don’t have to be serious to be sacred.

Sacred Doesn’t Mean Boring

You can be mid-laughter and still be in deep reverence. You can be smudged in glitter and still be a vessel of light. You can be making pancakes in your underwear with Beyoncé blasting and still be touched by the divine.

The sacred shows up in the absurd. In the joyful chaos.In the ridiculous.

Why? Because that’s where we’re most alive. And aliveness is holy.

We Worship at the Altar of Authenticity

At the Church of Unreasonable Happiness, we don't ask you to kneel. We ask you to show up as you are with your weirdness, your wounds, your wonders.

We don’t hand you a doctrine. We hand you a metaphorical kazoo and say:" Go make music out of your life."

Your truth doesn’t need to be translated into chants. Your healing doesn’t need to happen in silence. Your joy doesn’t need to apologize for being loud.

Laughter as a Spiritual Practice

Think about it: What happens when you laugh? You breathe deeper. You lose control. You drop the mask. You come into the moment, fully present and connected.

If that’s not sacred, what is?

The Holy Weird

We believe in the God who belly-laughs. Who dances badly. Who shows up to brunch in a velvet tracksuit and orders three mimosas for the table.

We believe your quirks are not detours from the divine. They are the divine.

We bless the messy art. The off-key singing. The spontaneous road trip. The cuddle puddles. The wild joy. The fact that you cried and laughed in the same five minutes, and it all made sense.

Join the Fun

If you’ve ever felt too weird, too loud, too much—or just not enough—for traditional spirituality… You’re home now.

This is your permission slip. To smile at your reflection. To kiss the absurd. To meet the divine in your slippers with a coffee in hand and a dog in your lap.

Because being sacred isn’t about being serious. It’s about being real.

And real is more than enough.

Yours in evolution,
