Autumn Happiness from Curious Motion

Hello <<First Name>>

Wow, what an Autumn we’ve had so far at Curious Motion!
 
Classes are back in motion in Elland, including new offerings and new people! It’s been a joy to meet everyone and re-connect in-person with those of you who have been with us for a while. Recent weeks have also been very exciting, including an award nomination! 
 
How is your Autumn feeling? Read on for ways to stay connected and keep moving through the colder months.
 
Much love

Don't worry about your ability level, everyone is catered for.”

Measuring happiness through creativity

We’re delighted to announce the launch of our fantastic new project:
Elland’s Happiness Lab - the first measure of happiness in a small town in the UK through the arts!
 
Running from now until summer 2022, Elland’s Happiness Lab will explore what happiness means to the people of Elland and the lower valley in Calderdale, through a programme of accessible creative activity. 
 
There’ll be drawing, writing, dancing, singing and more! Plus, stories and experiences from the project will be documented in a very special series of films.
 
Keep an eye out for more information to hit your inbox soon!
 
Huge thanks to Fiona Woodhead of Fi & Becs for our lovely Happiness Lab logo and to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this project.

Sam recommends...

To celebrate the start of Elland’s Happiness Lab, I thought I’d share some of my own favourite happiness resources:

Action for Happiness - a wealth of ideas and support to take action on happiness for yourself and the world around you. Their theme this month is ‘New Ways November’ – trying something new is great for happiness!

World Happiness Report - one for those of you who like your statistics and research! The World Happiness Report is a publication by the United Nations, written by independent experts and containing articles and rankings of national happiness around the world.

The Happiness Frequency - did you know that music tuned to specific frequencies can help manage anxiety, pain, sleep and more? 
Here’s a favourite playlist.
