The speakers emphasized the importance of seeking help and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health issues. Further, we all know that music plays a huge role in healing one’s nervous system, therefore, Live performances were held by musicians that created an emotionally charged atmosphere, which resonated with the theme of healing. One of the unique aspects of the event was the emphasis on interaction and connection.

The event concluded with a heartwarming “Free Hug” initiative. Volunteers and organizers offered free hugs to attendees, and people outside, spreading warmth and comfort. This gesture aimed to remind everyone that they were not alone in their struggles and that human connection is a powerful force for healing.
