International Day
of Happiness
March 20th
The International Raelian Movement supports
the “International Day of Happiness”
celebrated worldwide and endorsed by the United Nations.
The UN defines it as a day to be happy, but we, Raelians, think that happiness should not only be reserved for a one-day annual celebration. Instead, it should be celebrated throughout the year and, better yet, throughout one’s lifetime.
According to the Raelian teachings, not only is happiness a decision but fostering a consistent and happy state of mind is conducive to increasing our social connection, that is to say, our connection to other human beings and thus, to the entire world.
Each year, and on every continent, Raelians from around the world come together to attend the Happiness Academy— a one-week spiritual retreat where you can learn how to be the best version of yourself, and how you can find your inner happiness and keep it forever. Throughout the week, you will experience the teachings of Rael—spiritual leader and founder of the Raelian Movement—and learn what science is discovering about happy people and human consciousness, and how you can cultivate your harmony and health through simple meditation techniques.
The Raelian Movement’s main goal is to build an Embassy to welcome our extraterrestrial creators, the Elohim. But first, we need to create a world where peace and happiness will allow us to celebrate our common humanity.
Sign the petition
The Raelian Movement in each country has initiated a global campaign urging governments to establish a Ministry of Happiness. Recognizing the importance of mental and emotional well-being in today’s society, the Raelian Movement is advocating for the creation of dedicated governmental bodies tasked with promoting happiness, fostering positive mental health initiatives, and ensuring the overall well-being of citizens.
As part of this campaign, we are actively engaged in collecting signatures for petitions through street actions and Online platforms. We firmly believe that a Ministry of Happiness would not only enhance the quality of life for individuals but also contribute to the overall prosperity and harmony of our communities. Your support would be invaluable to us. If you find yourself in agreement with the cause we are advocating for, we kindly ask for your participation in signing the petition.
