What is the International Happiness Summit?

The International Happiness Summit gathers the greatest speakers and experts in the fields of science, art, philosophy, spirituality, positive psychology and human development, with the goal of sharing transformative ideas and practices in a unique event, unlike anything you have ever seen.

More than just a theoretical congress, it is a movement of awareness and transformation, which provides a journey of self-knowledge and reflection on what Happiness is and how we can be happier. A comprehensive and integrated vision of the human being from multiple perspectives.

Two full days of lectures, practical activities, experiences and deep reflections that will connect you to people who look for a more meaningful life, with more purpose, well-being and joy. A unique sensory experience conceived down to the smallest detail, coupled with knowledge that can be immediately applied for a happier life.

Testimonials from past attendees:

  • Aspas

    “Depois de muitas dores ao longo do ano, por conta da enchente no RS, mergulhei em mim no evento e consegui aprumar a minha alma. Conheci muitas pessoas, fiz contatos profissionais e, principalmente, me redescobri em pleno voo. Estou pronta para voar mais alto. Vim como ninfa, em busca da transformação, e saí feito libélula. Muito grata!”

    “É uma honra estar neste Congresso todos os anos. É cada dia uma sabedoria, uma vida nova, uma história de recomeço e de força para seguir em frente. Saí do Congresso querendo ficar para o próximo! Sempre fica aquele sentimento de amor, gratidão e muita felicidade. Espero estar em todos até ficar velhinho.”

    “Ser feliz é uma escolha! Se cada um der um passo de amor próprio, amar o próximo será mais fácil, assim como transformar o mundo que vivemos. No Congresso vi que as pessoas e empresas estão nessa construção, e a percepção do que é felicidade, embora tenha interpretações muito individuais, está cada vez mais clara. Parabéns pelo evento!”

    “Eu tenho um chamamento de alma para participar desse Congresso. Abre um portal, a consciência se expande. Aprender na prática é com fundamentação científica, através das experiências apresentadas ali é mágico. Difícil explicar aos leigos que a felicidade é um tema com inúmeros estudos científicos e nada tem a ver com “gratiluz”. A informação só chega quando tem que chegar. Obrigada!”

    Valdira Ferreira de Lima
Manifesto

Some know it.

Some are it.

Some seek it.

It can be individual. It can be collective.

It has to do with time. It has to do with people.

It involves the mind. But also the body. And what is inside and outside it.

It is a construction. It can be a path and even a wave.

It is invisible, but it can be contemplated, experienced and felt.

It requires dedication. And also appreciation.

It is yours. It is ours. It is shared.
