Sundalah CommUNITY Wellness Festival
7-21 April 2024
About our Festival
15 Years of Sundalah
In 2008, Jasmine Healy-Pagán created Sundalah for Townsville to have a local wellness network which delivers health, wisdom, and inspirational opportunities. “CommUNITY over Competition”, collaboration and supportive connections are the foundation by which Sundalah has sustained 15 years of expansion through sharing events, a local directory, and an annual magazine.
Time to Celebrate!
To celebrate commUNITY connections in our wonderful city and to express gratitude for all those who have supported the Sundalah CommUNITY, we presented Townsville’s first two-week Wellness Festival.
The Sundalah Wellness Festival successfully brought people together through a wide range of choices. Two weeks of classes, workshops, and experiences supported physical, mindful, social, and spiritual interests across many Townsville locations.
THE PEAK EVENT of our Festival was the Celebration Night at Rydges Conference Centre on the 20 April 2024 with the
