Draw for JOY

Draw for JOY is a creative system that brings together the science of happiness, visual creation and mindfulness practice.

Based on the SPIRE Wholeperson Wellbeing framework, it uses illustrated cards, doodling and collaborative drawing to turn abstract ideas about happiness into everyday reminders that can be seen, drawn and remembered.

No drawing experience is required. Everyone can reconnect with themselves, with others and with everyday life through the creative process.

Based on the SPIRE Wholeperson Wellbeing Framework

Draw for JOY is based on the SPIRE Wholeperson Wellbeing framework.

SPIRE looks at wellbeing through five interconnected dimensions:

When one area of wellbeing is nurtured, it can also influence the others.

Through simple and enjoyable creative experiences, Draw for JOY invites people to practise happiness in everyday life.

From Happiness Theory to Creative Practice

The SPIRE Wholeperson Wellbeing framework is promoted by the Happiness Studies Academy and grew out of the research and teaching of happiness scholar Dr. Tal Ben-Shahar.

Draw for JOY transforms the SPIRE framework into 60 illustrated wellbeing cards, together with a series of creative activities for individuals and groups.

The aim is to make happiness something we do not only understand, but can also practise in everyday life.

Start with a Card,

Bring Happiness Practice into Everyday Life

Give Yourself a Quiet Moment

Pause through the creative process,
and listen to what you truly want to say.

Draw the Reminders That Matter

Let happiness become more than something you know.

Make it something you can see
and remember.

Collaborative Drawing

Through creativity and conversation,
discover different perspectives
and new possibilities.

Let Happiness Stay in Everyday Life

When your artwork becomes part of your daily surroundings,
the reminder can continue to stay with you.

Finishing the Artwork Is Not the End.
It Is the Beginning of
Practicing Happiness.
