Festival of Wellbeing – Resugence

A sense of wellbeing is what really matters in life. We need a new movement of awareness and action to bring meaning to life and to put community wellbeing at the heart of political and social decision-making. Instead of economic growth, we need growth in wellbeing. The festival of wellbeing will explore these ideas – expect inspiring speakers and entertainment.

Sunday – Discussion Day

As a bonus, on the Sunday, there will be an opportunity for discussion. We will bring people together in smaller groups, to explore our passions and how we can take action. We will explore the theme of social entrepreneurship and social innovation and harness what you could potentially take with you into your life and help you get clearer about the difference you want to make. The day will be facilitated by experienced wellbeing social entrepreneurs and Satish Kumar.

Attendance on the Sunday is free for those who have bought a ticket for the Wellbeing Festival. Please let us know when you book if you want to come on the Sunday. Spaces are limited to 80, so book early.
