The Berkeley Heights Mayor’s Wellness Committee invites residents to register for an engaging and interactive Happy Habits Workshop: Happiness Isn’t Just Luck on Saturday, March 21 from 11:00 AM–12:00 PM at Berkeley Heights Town Hall.

Through a guided SPIRE check-in, participants will reflect on key areas of wellbeing from purpose and presence to physical health, relationships, and emotional balance.

Discover the science behind making habits stick, explore the Three R’s: reminders, repetition, and rituals, and learn how small MVIs (Minimum Viable Interventions) can reduce stress and boost overall wellbeing.

The Berkeley Heights Mayor’s Wellness Committee invites residents and friends to kick off the new year with intention, balance, and joy at “A Happier You in 2026: A Whole-Being Wellness & Happiness Retreat,” taking place on Saturday, January 31, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at Berkeley Heights Town Hall. 🧘‍♀️✨

This interactive retreat introduces participants to evidence-based research on happiness and well-being through the SPIRE model—a whole-being framework that addresses Spiritual, Physical, Intellectual, Relational, and Emotional wellness. Using Minimum Viable Interventions (MVIs), or simple, practical “happiness boosters,” participants will learn small, actionable strategies they can incorporate into daily life while exploring how whole-being wellness creates an upward spiral of health, happiness, and stronger relationships.

We hope to see you there! 💙
