We live in a world where chronic widespread anxiety in our culture can lead to an over-serious approach to life, where we miss the ordinary everyday moments of joy and pleasure.One of the distinctives of the Scargill Movement is the permission to be playful, to laugh often and the cultivation of joy.

In this relaxed and happy – and occasionally hilarious - fourth edition of The Scargill Podcast, Director Phil Stone is in conversation with Shaun Lambert, Honorary Mindfulness Chaplain to the community, about this emphasis on Laughter, Playfulness & Joy which is part of the DNA at Scargill.

Phil explains why playfulness is part of the kingdom and why he gives it permission to flourish on community.  Phil also talks with Ruth Meyer, who leads the kitchen team at Scargill, to find out how that team bring laughter and joy to their role and in how they serve the visitors to community.
