Now that’s my Kind(a) Festival – 10 reasons to visit Suffolk’s Wellbeing and Healthy Living Showcase this September
The Life Arts Suffolk Mind Body Spirit Festival at Trinity Park Ipswich on 24-25 Sept 2022 brings together a whole world of wellbeing opportunities into one enlightening weekend.
Why not show yourself some loving kindness and join us for just a day - or make the most of our great value weekend ticket?
Whether healthy living is already your chosen path or you’re just mindful that a spot of de-stressing your life could go a long way, there are countless reasons to visit and make a difference. Here are just a few … and a few kind words, from visitors/exhibitors at previous Life Arts Mind Body Spirit events in East Anglia.
1. It’s cool to be kind …to yourself
With its warm, mellow and friendly atmosphere, the Suffolk Mind Body Spirit Festival at Ipswich’s Trinity Park is the ideal place to park life a moment, take a little time out and own a little me-space.
Enjoy. Indulge. Relax. With its five separate indoor spaces featuring a wide range of free ‘taster session’ introductions to movement, meditation and nutrition, soul-soothing therapies and all sorts of inspiration, it’s a beautifully balanced, highly inclusive and a gentle way to explore what appeals or works for you.
What’s more at just £7 for a day ticket / £10 for the weekend, it’s an excitingly affordable treat. Why not take a friend or two?
“ So glad I went! ”
“ Hands-down, the most enjoyable, fun-filled and heart-centred events bar none! ”
2. There’s more than just food for thought – expect a feast of tasty treats too.
You'll hear alot of talk about energies at this Suffolk wellbeing and healthy living showcase, so it’s only natural that great grazing is all part of the picture.
Think Buddha bowls, cool fruit and veg smoothies, ‘Bake Me Kind’ vegan cakes and tempting tacos, plus refreshingly juicy vitality drinks and even organic ales. Try, buy and pick up lots of great recipe tips to take home too!

6. Go in search of some personal insights...
Some people see things differently through intuition, their enhanced senses or psychic connections; others have honed a natural healing touch through holistic therapies, massage and other practices such as reflexology and acupuncture.
Our Readers’ Room at the Suffolk Mind Body Spirit Festival is a dedicated space where carefully selected professionals from the spiritual sphere may undertake one-to-one sessions, offering kind and loving spiritual readings, healing, counselling and life coaching. You can also find out more about mediumship and psychic abilities through our programme of free talks, workshops and demonstrations in our Speakers’ Space.
7. Or suss out some healing therapies.
There’s no better way to negotiate your way through the landscape of holistic therapies than experiencing what each has to offer. Why not sign up for a taster treatment and find out more?
“ The atmosphere was completely buzzing with energy, stall holders and attendees alike. ”

Whether it’s swaying to the live music together, experiencing the all-encompassing embrace of a sound bath or having a run around outdoors in Trinity Park, this is a festival which nurtures that very precious family time.
