Gratitude Gatherings at The Happiness Haven are held monthly, typically on the third Thursday of each month. These gatherings create a nurturing space to cultivate gratitude, build connections, and celebrate joyful presence together. These are held virtually, and links are provided to registered attendees ahead of each Gathering.
In addition to our monthly Gratitude Gatherings, we also host Quarterly Connection Events, which are in-person gatherings designed to deepen community bonds through shared experiences. These may include social meetups, group service projects, laughter yoga, mindfulness retreats, or interactive workshops.
After you attend your first Gathering, you’ll be invited into our members-only Discord, a safe, caring space to build community connections, share wins, resources, and everyday threads of gratitude.
See our Community Guidelines for more information.
Why We Celebrate These Holidays
At The Happiness Haven, we believe that joy, gratitude, and connection should be intentionally cultivated, not just experienced in fleeting moments. That’s why we observe a selection of nationally and internationally recognized holidays that align with our values. Each of these observances—whether focused on happiness, kindness, laughter, or play—serves as a reminder to pause, reflect, and celebrate the things that make life meaningful.
By weaving these special days (and weeks!) into our community calendar, we create intentional touchpoints throughout the year to reinforce our commitment to gratitude, connection, and joyful presence. These moments help us stay anchored in our mission, deepen our collective experience, and ensure that our community remains a haven where happiness is not just an idea, but a practice we live together.
Holidays Include:
Random Acts of Kindness Week & Day (February - varies by year)
International Day of Happiness (March 20)
World Laughter Day (First Sunday in May)
International Day of Play (June 11)
Happiness Happens Day (August 8)
International Week of Happiness at Work (usually October, varies by year)
World Kindness Day (November 13)
Join us in cultivating gratitude, celebrating joy, and building a meaningful community together. 💛
