Why I joined

“There is no nobler purpose in life than to encourage people to become the best version of themselves.”   I created World Wellness Weekend in 2017 to raise awareness about the benefits of healthy lifestyles based on five pillars: SLEEP, NUTRITION, MOVEMENT, MINDFULNESS, SENSE of PURPOSE in alignment with the third goal of the UNITED NATIONS “Good Health & Well-being for All”.   The vision is to connect thousands of wellness professionals (fitness, sports, yoga, massage, beauty, hospitality, tourism…) with a feel-good planetary event on the third week-end of September (before the Equinox). Together, in 150 countries, we encourage people to be more active, more often with friends, colleagues, and family so they can experience how great it feels to be well physically, mentally, and socially!   By organizing fun and free activities on every time zone during September 15-16-17, 2023, we show practical and enjoyable solutions to the current pandemics: Chronic fatigue, Obesity, Sedentary lifestyle, Mental distress, and Loneliness. 

Why you should participate

Think Global, act Local and make wellness Social!   Together, we can make a world of a difference as professionals in physical and mental health, nutrition, hospitality, tourism. The world needs more Vitamin W (Wellness)!   In order to join World Wellness Weekend and appear on the World Wellness Map alongside 8,000 professionals and venues, all you need to do is donate ONE hour of ONE member of your team to host a fun and free group class, session, or activity. (Venues that offer THREE activities get a “Wellness Champion” badge).   Brainstorm with your team to be innovative and create Signature experiences; catch the attention of the media to hit the headlines; attract new clients and give them a reason to come back with irresistible offers.   Boost the creativity of your team, support your local community, show you are part of the solution to address Chronic/lifestyle disease and bring a smile on people’s faces when they feel a rush of endorphins, serotonin and oxytocin.   Be inspired, be well.
