“Do whatever you want
Break the mold together
Gather here in this haven right now
Step out, do what you want
For now just do it all
Leave it as memories, now or never”
-Stray Kids, Haven
Hi! I’m so glad you’re here!
My name is Sarah and this is Joy Labs.
The Joy Labs are my way of giving more people opportunities to experience Joy, particularly through the love of Stray Kids. The Joy Labs are the culmination of my lived experiences—caregiving for loved ones, earning my PhD in Biophysics, understanding the neuroscience of connection, healing, and joy, being someone who just loves to dance, and being a die-hard Stray Kids fan—for me, everything points back to raising Joy.
It can be hard though; to find Joy moments, to connect with community, to make new friends, or try something new.
So, that’s where Joy Labs comes in. I create the places and spaces where STAY can come together to celebrate, be in community, play, dance, and engage in activities just for the fun of it.
This is your permission slip. Your permission to enjoy life; Your permission to be seen. Your permission to have fun without judgement. Joy really does heal. And I want nothing more than for you to have that choice and get to choose Joy.
