The Great Big Yawn CIC is changing its approach for 2024. Instead of the traditional speaker format of the 2023 Mental Health Fest, they are planning a “songathon” to bring together local communities. This event will center around a specially composed song about the power of yawning, performed in three languages plus sign language.
The organization aims to use this unique event to:
- Unite people through music: The songathon provides a fun and engaging way for people to connect with each other and the message of The Great Big Yawn CIC.
- Promote inclusivity: Offering the song in multiple languages and sign language reflects the organization’s commitment to accessibility and reaching a diverse audience.
- Expand their reach: The CIC encourages communities around the world to participate in this initiative by planning their own Great Big Yawn events and learning the song.
This shift to a songathon aligns with the CIC’s mission to promote hope, creativity, and possibility. By using music as a tool for connection and expression, they aim to create a powerful shared experience that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers.
Come and join us!
The Great Big Yawn Mental Health Fest 2023 was a huge success! This year will be even more powerful as we expand into the YAWN in a deeper and more profound way.
10TH NOVEMBER 2024!
Get ready for a fully immersive online experience!
We are preparing a Special Song to represent the emotional, mental and physical strength, power and humbleness of everything the yawn has held for us over time.
It has held our fear, our shame, our guilt, our jealousy, our self worth, our boredom, our apathy and our exhaustion to name but a few. We’re sure you can add to the list over time.
What truly happens when we tap into it and embrace who we really are. Our Hope! Our Creativity! Our possibility! And of course the Peace it relieves in our system.
In the world we live in right now it feels apt for us to dig even deeper into who we truly are and not pretend to be the expert in anything but be humble and choose to explore, be curious and kind and continue learning about all aspects of who we really are.
As we delve into this humble, over looked and under estimated part of ourselves, we unleash the roar of the lion with in us. The ability to open our vocal chords and throat wider and wider in the safest way possible, without strain, fear and effort but with grace and humility every step of the way.
You are invited to join us. You are invited as a school, as a community group, as a family, as a business, as a charity to bring those parts of you that are ready to be curious and play and let go into the safe realms of The Great Big Yawn to chasms that holds space peacefully and without judgement to all that you are.
