Derbyshire businesswoman launches five-day wellness festival with calmness masterclasses
Expect a week packed with expert advice on health, neurodiversity and nutrition with leading companies all in aid of Mind charity
In an age where the world seems to go non-stop, a festival promoting zen, good health and wellbeing could be the perfect antidote.
CALMFest is a weeks-long, virtual festival of events, activities and challenges scheduled to take place during Mental Health Awareness Week between Monday May 13 - Friday May 17, 2024.
There will be three sessions a day on mental health related topics including gut health, sleep, neurodiversity, nutrition and financial wellbeing.
The event aims to help people develop better balance by improving mental health and mental fitness.
There will be daily CALM mini masterclasses with special guests plus challenges with prizes up for grabs and the chance to connect as a community during the final Friday session.
Local businesswoman Sarah Markham from Derbyshire is founder of the festival.
She said: “CALMFest takes place during Mental Health Awareness Week, we’ll be raising funds for charity Mind, too.
“For those who don’t know, Mind is very close to my heart, and I am honoured to be on the board at Derbyshire Mind.”
Sarah is looking forward to the packed roster of events which she is ‘incredibly excited’ about.
Derby businesses including Rolls-Royce and The University of Derby are also said to be involved with the event,
CALMFest aims to bring like-minded people together and arm them with the tools to help them become at least 1% CALMer.
It is hoped they can then take their new-found skills into the workplace, to help bring about change.
Bookings for CALMFest close on March 31.
All events can be booked via the CALM Hub and session recording will be made available for seven days after the event.
