From Kolkata to Costa Rica: A Global Celebration of Regenerative Happiness
As we move through 2025, the World Happiness Foundation is witnessing a remarkable unfolding of our collective dream — to realize a world of freedom, consciousness, and happiness for all. This year has been nothing short of a global pilgrimage toward well-being, inner peace, and regenerative systems. From bustling cities to sacred lands, from ancient traditions to modern frameworks for flourishing, our journey has been as diverse as it is unifying.
Kolkata: The First World Happiness Fest of 2025 We began the year in the heart of India — Kolkata, a city of contrasts and consciousness. With Adamas University and our partners, we launched the first World Happiness Fest of 2025, igniting conversations on education, spiritual awakening, and mental health. It marked a powerful commitment to integrating happiness into academic and community life.
Granada, Spain: Bridging Cultures Through Joy Shortly after, Granada welcomed the Fest with open arms, fusing Andalusian culture with the science and art of happiness. Surrounded by history and beauty, we created new narratives with artists, educators, and local change-makers. Granada became a portal for the Mediterranean soul of Happytalism.
Discovery Expeditions: Varanasi, Sarnath & Auroville In Varanasi, we immersed ourselves in the sacred cycles of death and rebirth, cleansing and contemplation. In , we explored social regeneration, compassion in action, and the sacred bridge to death. And in Auroville, the experimental city of human unity, we activated profound inner journeys and reconnected with our essence beyond the ego.
Nicoya, Costa Rica: The Blue Zone Expedition We ventured again to Nicoya, one of the world’s Blue Zones, to study and embody the secrets of long, healthy, and meaningful lives. Participants experienced firsthand the essence of community, purpose, and joy through local wisdom, food, nature, and intergenerational connection.
Miami: The World Happiness Fest at Pinecrest Gardens In Pinecrest, Miami, under the full moon of March 20th, we gathered for a Festival that celebrated The Alchemy of Magic, with an emphasis on neurodivergence, arts, and emotional expression. With music, exhibitions, theater, and JoyShops, we deepened the celebration of diversity and inclusion as pathways to collective happiness.
GROSS Global Happiness Summit at UPEACE, Costa Rica In collaboration with the United Nations-mandated University for Peace, the GROSS Global Happiness Summit returned to Costa Rica. This year was extra special as it marked the launch of the Global Well-Being and Impact Leadership Certification (GWILC) — a transformational program designed to cultivate the next generation of Soulful Leaders committed to systemic regeneration and planetary flourishing.
Brazil: Virada da Felicidade In Brazil, we co-created powerful moments with fire keepers, musicians, well-being leaders, and entrepreneurs across Paraná, Curitiba, and São Paulo. The Virada da Felicidade was a vibrant expression of Brazil’s commitment to joy, equity, and collective healing.
Dominican Republic & Latin America We expanded our reach in the Caribbean with the Congreso de Felicidad y Bienestar Laboral in the Dominican Republic, where business leaders, government officials, and educators came together to build thriving workplaces and compassionate communities.
Throughout the year, hundreds of professionals enrolled in our Chief Well-Being Officer Program (CWO) and the Professional Coaching Certification in Happiness and Well-Being. From India to Latin America, from Europe to the U.S., we’re empowering catalysts to bring the science and art of well-being into schools, cities, and organizations.
And thanks to these growing ecosystems, thousands of people are now living in alignment with regenerative happiness — healing themselves and inspiring those around them to do the same.
2025 is proving that Happytalism is not a utopia — it is already alive in the hearts and actions of people around the world. Every gathering, every story, every healed wound and awakened dream brings us closer to the world we know is possible.
From the sacred waters of Varanasi to the tropical sun of Nicoya, from the art-filled gardens of Granada to the academic halls of UPEACE, we walk together. The journey continues. And with each step, we are reminded:
The time for happiness is now. The place is here. The people are us.
