What is EmpowerFest?

In commemoration of Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Join us for our Innaugral event, EmpowerFest 2025. This summit aligns with the 2024–2026 World Suicide Prevention Day theme, “Changing the Narrative on Suicide,” by fostering open conversations, reducing stigma, and promoting self-care and resilience.

This summit addresses the critical need for mental health awareness and body positivity, particularly for women and LGBTQ+ individuals who face unique challenges.

By combining a sound bath session, yoga session, dance session and expert-led discussion, EmpowerFest empowers attendees to prioritize their mental and physical health, embrace self-love, and build community support.
