VISION

“We have 2 lives, and the second one starts when we realize we have only one. Confucius”

How do we define Wellness?

At World Wellness Weekend we define wellness as a responsible relationship between your body and yourself. Epigenetics shows that the way we live has a great impact on how our genes express themselves. How we sleep, eat, move, relax and socialize, either keeps body and mind in a state of vitality; or creates an imbalance with repercussions on our health. To find out more about how we define wellness, discover our 5 pillars of wellness.

Our History

MISSION

Our Aim

World Wellness Weekend (WWW) aims to inspire and empower people to make healthier choices and enjoy an active lifestyle with family & friends. The current health situation around the world reminds us how important it is to have a strong immune system.

In partnership with the United Nations Global Sustainability Index Institute, WWW encourages venues, groups, associations, federations, visitors bureaus and city officials to organize free, fun and creative wellness activities on the 3rd weekend of September. Just before the Equinox, when daytime & night time are equal, as a symbol for Work / Life Harmony.
