This October, The Pillars Festival returns to Bangsar’s APW with a two-day event focused on mental health, well-being, and healing.

In line with World Mental Health Awareness, the festival, set for the 12 and 13 of October, promises a vibrant and supportive space for attendees to explore emotional wellness.

With free entry, this community-centred event runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., inviting everyone to participate in workshops, live performances, and wellness activities.

As mental health awareness becomes increasingly critical, The Pillars Festival 2024 is designed to foster open conversations and provide meaningful resources. It offers a mix of workshops led by inspiring figures, interactive experiences, and opportunities for personal growth, all aimed at breaking down stigmas surrounding mental health.

Featured Events

Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in various activities, including an “Emotions Adventure” workshop hosted by Miss International Malaysia 2024, Ashlyn Ooi, where she’ll guide participants through emotional intelligence strategies.

Joanne Kam Poh Poh, Malaysia’s beloved comedy queen, will host “Wellness Through Laughter,” exploring humour’s ability to heal and uplift. For those seeking mindfulness, actress Sarah Lian will lead a “Self-Love & Sound Healing” session, blending meditation with soothing sound therapy.

Festival Highlights

In addition to workshops, visitors can explore wellness booths offering mental health resources, products, and services from industry partners.

Interactive activities focusing on mindfulness, emotional resilience, and self-care will be available throughout the event. A lucky draw will also give attendees a chance to win wellness-related prizes, helping them continue their journey towards mental well-being.

This year’s Pillars Festival aims to spark conversation and encourage people to prioritise mental health. By providing a platform for education and support, the event hopes to foster a more compassionate and stigma-free approach to emotional well-being.
