Global Happiness Alliance
The Global Happiness Alliance was initiated in 2019 by the Social Entrepreneurs with Integrity Association (SEIA Singapore-Malaysia) in collaboration with the Royal Eutok Geomba Monastery in Bhutan.
Our purpose is to affirm that happiness and well-being are universal goals and aspirations in human life around the world. Through the exchange of various Eastern and Western philosophies, views, experiences and spiritual traditions, we seek to collaboratively explore initiatives or areas of improvement that advance a new human spiritual civilization with a higher level of spiritual awareness and thinking, anchored on morality, civility, and integrity, with love at its core.
In May 2024, the inaugural Happiness Forum was held in Bhutan, hosted by the Global Happiness Alliance team within SEIA Singapore-Malaysia. Subsequent and future Happiness Forums will be co-organized by the EU-China Commission, Nanyue Juexing Art and Culture Foundation, as well as the Taiwan-Bhutan Cultural and Economic Association, working together to advance spiritual awakening guided by our 7+1 Core Values, in pursuit of the creation of joint happiness found in spiritual and economic balance.
