VIVA schedule 2023

The main event…

The VIVA event comprises lots of individual pieces to make the whole all with the intention of you experiencing as much as possible the well being that is available to you at all times.  An infusion of fun and inspiring activities, breakout sessions and plenaries for learning, entertainment to tickle your taste buds, yoga to start your morning, a professional cameraman on hand to capture “in the moment” insights and much more.

We have done our best to give you a brief insight into what is on offer at VIVA 2023 through the pages of the website and sharing the programme below.  We also want to mention for our international attendees there are many other activities available “off the programme” such as the famous walk to the local lighthouse, beach front strolls, hillside walks and lots of other sightseeing opportunities.

And did we mention there might be a surprise or two?!
