Before The Wild Ones was born, Marcus Warry — the guy behind it all — had already begun researching happiness. Drawing on neuroscience, positive psychology, philosophy and well-being economics, he’s been reflecting and writing for the past year or so, pulling his ideas together into a book called The Happy Five: Daily Habits for a Healthy and Happy Mind. (Book coming soon — and naturally the launch party will be right here at The Wild Ones!)
Marcus is a social impact consultant, passionate about ensuring organisations measure and report their impact with the same seriousness as they report profits. That philosophy runs through The Wild Ones too: it’s not just a space for great nights out — it’s about nurturing skills, growing the creative economy and creating more connection and happiness too!
How can The Wild Ones make you happier?! Well, when you move — on the dancefloor, at a yoga session, or just strolling in — you get the rush of endorphins. When you connect — with friends, strangers, or your creative tribe — oxytocin flows. And when you give — sharing your time, ideas, or support — dopamine rewards you with joy.
Want to feel a little bit happier now? How about joining our WhatsApp community — a growing tribe of creatives and creativity lovers. Every time you share ideas, spread the word, or simply show up through this community, you’re already “giving” to The Wild Ones. That collective energy is what helps us grow, and it’s how we attract and showcase amazing talent and events from within the community itself..
And in return, your brain rewards you with a double boost — dopamine from the act of giving, and oxytocin from the sense of belonging and connection with your creative tribe!
