About this Event
Feel Good Village is a new monthly community wellbeing event in Harrogate for anyone who wants to do more of the things that make them feel good and meet like-minded people.
Life can feel like one long to-do list. We all sometimes need a space to land to unplug, refill our cups and connect with others. Our events offer a chance to step off the hamster wheel of life and take a moment to prioritse our self-care and wellbeing.
On Friday 9th October, we'll be gathering at Harrogate's friendliest coffee shop, Westmoreland Cafe, for an evening of nourishing food, wellbeing inspiration, guided meditation, reflection and good company.
Your host, Lauren Wood, Founder of Feel Good Yorkshire, Yorkshire's new wellbeing directory and community, is bringing people together to explore a simple question:
What helps you feel good?
Lauren is on a mission to create a feel good movement across Yorkshire - encouraging people to prioritise their wellbeing, connect with others and discover the people, places, activities and experiences that help them feel their best.
Feel Good Village is part of that movement.
Our events give you the chance to step off the hamster wheel of life and prioritise moments that help you feel good, whatever that looks like for you.
Each month, we'll gather around a different feel-good experience. That might be a creative workshop, a restful activity, gentle movement, time in nature, a nourishing meal or simply an opportunity to have a cuppa with other people in a welcoming space.
Feel Good Village is for anyone who wants to make more time for themselves, meet new people and experience wellbeing in a relaxed, social way.
Whether you're looking to:
- Make more time for your wellbeing
- Meet new people in Harrogate
- Try something different
- Find inspiration and new ideas
- Slow down and recharge
- Discover activities that make you feel good
- Come along somewhere you can feel comfortable coming solo
…you'll be very welcome.
Come solo. Bring a friend. Meet someone new.
Swap another evening of scrolling or watching Netflix for an evening in the Village with good food, good people and something that might just make you feel good.

Choosing you: Prioritising joy, wellbeing and feeling good
Host: Lauren Wood, Founder of Feel Good Yorkshire
Info: Life can get busy, and it’s easy to get caught up in work, responsibilities and the everyday hamster wheel without making much time for yourself.
In this talk, Lauren Wood, Founder of Feel Good Yorkshire, shares her own journey from burnout to becoming more intentional about choosing the things that help her feel rested, connected and more like herself.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to prioritise your wellbeing, make more space for joy and discover the things that genuinely help you feel good.
You’ll have the chance to reflect on what you want more of in your life, what might be draining your energy, and some simple ways you could start choosing yourself a little more.
You'll then be invited to slow down with a short guided meditation led by Daniel Conneely, Founder of Gen Zen Meditation creating a moment to breathe, relax and connect with your intentions. This is simply a chance to pause, reflect and get curious about what feeling good could look like for you.
🕑: 08:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Reflect, connect and continue the conversation
Info: After the talk and meditation, take some time to reflect on what you've discovered.
