Joshua Roberts, Managing Director of Mind Body Spirit Festival, said: “Spirituality is no longer on the fringes. From podcasts to prime-time television, people are talking openly about the power of the mind, finding deeper meaning and how they want to choose to live. Our festival proudly brings these conversations to life, face to face.”
Festival programmer Theresa Cheung, also ITV This Morning’s dreams and spiritual expert, added: “The festival is all about learning, inspiration and connection. In a world where so much of our interaction happens online, I believe there is real value in coming together in person. Whether you come to hear from an expert, try something new or deepen your understanding of holistic wellbeing, there is so much of value to take away from spending time here.”
