The Happiness Equation CIC is a not for profit organisation dedicated to improving physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing through creativity and community connection. Our mission is simple yet powerful: to help individuals take ownership of their happiness and health by engaging in joyful, accessible and inclusive experiences that strengthen resilience and belonging.

Rooted in the science of the four happy hormones, Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins (DOSE), our work translates wellbeing research for creative health into real-world experiences that inspire long-term change.

DOSE Fest - Our Flagship Initiative                                                                                        

DOSE Fest is a one-day, immersive learning opportunity and celebration of happiness, creativity and connection. The first step in building a national #FindMyJoy movement. Designed with inclusivity across the board in mind, we are planning activities for all ages and abilities. Accessibility is a key aspect of our overall CIC project and everything we design. The festival invites participants to explore how different activities and environments can activate each of the four happy hormones. Transforming wellbeing into something tangible, joyful and community powered. We want to empower people to live healthier, happier lives and know how to engage in groups as a preventative measure.

Why DOSE Fest Matters

Our society faces growing challenges around stress, loneliness and health inequalities. DOSE Fest offers a positive, preventative approach - giving people the tools and experiences needed to boost mood, confidence and connection.

By inspiring small, joyful changes at a grassroots level, we can:

• Improve mental and physical wellbeing outcomes
• Reduce stigma surrounding emotional health
• Strengthen community cohesion through shared creative activity
• Support early intervention and self-care, easing pressure on public services
• Promote inclusion, equity and cultural celebration
