Journey of the Mind, Sailing Week, & Sight Loss Story

Time to chat all things sight loss, wellbeing and happiness, on your latest episode of Happy Hour!

This week, Paulina has a load of great tracks for you, a random wellness fact about smiling, and of course some of those great interviews you look forward to each week.

Allan Russell hears from Will Bridge, one of the organisers of the Sailing Week, to find out how you can give sailing a go.

Paulina speaks with Ameet Hundal and Sanjeet Dhillon from Without Shape Without Form art organisation about their 'Journey of the Mind' exhibition, which explores how Sikh teachings and heritage can have a positive impact on our mind and our lives.. 

And finally, Karen Wye shares her personal story of being diagnosed with sight loss, with our Toby Davey.

Image shows a peek inside the 'Journey of the Mind' exhibition. A well-lit art gallery space, with a big board saying, 'Journey of the MIND' at the forefront. The word Mind fills the whole sign. Behind, you can see some of the artwork displayed on similar boards and black benches next to them to sit down and enjoy the experience.
