On this International Day of Happiness, we are delighted to announce a new partnership for 2022 between Towersey Festival and Action for Happiness
With our world facing unprecedented challenges, wellbeing matters more than ever.
"Itโs been an incredibly difficult few years without music, without joy, without community and just as we thought we were out of the woods 2022 has started with a major conflict. Itโs normal to feel sad or helpless at times of global crises. The good news is there are proactive steps we can take to look after our mental health and happiness to still enjoy life. Evidence shows that connecting with others, being grateful for what we have, spending time in nature, moving our bodies and having positive things to look forward to can help us feel happier and support us to cope in good and bad times. Towersey has decided to offer all of these in 2022 with a refreshed programme and emboldened vision retaining everything fans loved about the festival and delivering much, much more." Action for Happiness
We have always known that attending Towersey Festival leaves people feeling happier. We get so much feedback about it being an escape and a place where people leave feeling hopeful about the world. Connecting with others, being active and learning new things are all great for our mental wellbeing.
But this year we have taken it a step further and partnered with Action for Happiness to create The Den, a space dedicated to wellbeing and happiness. The aim is to offer sanctuary and escapism, an opportunity to stop, look up, slow down and engage directly with each other.
We have a full programme of activities, talks and happenings from early morning tai chi, relaxing sound baths, ukulele workshops, drumming circles, story telling, poetry sharing, keynote talks from inspirational speakers, workshops and fun drama games to make you smile. A daily joke slam, singing, dancing and even a daily Folk Club!
More information will follow over the coming months but you can look forward to a programme designed to lift spirits, bring people together and provide lifelong happiness skills you can take away and apply to your daily life.
