Eighth Annual Global Wellness Day Celebration Saturday, June 8, 2019
Over 5,000 locations in 150+ Countries on Six Continents; Building Communities of Wellness via: Complimentary Classes & Demonstrations; Providing Healthy Living Tools for Physical and Mental Well-being
Vancouver, Canada, May 26, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Saturday, June 8, 2019 will mark the eighth annual Global Wellness Day (GWD) celebration and the fifth time the special day is being celebrated internationally. This year the focus of the event will be building communities of wellness. Surviving a life-threatening illness inspired Turkish businesswoman and destination spa owner, Belgin Aksoy, to start GWD. It is her irresistible passion for the cause that has motivated over 100 volunteer ambassadors, advisors and supporters to help make her dream a reality across the globe. The caveat: the annual events organized each year need to be three things: educational, non-commercial and complementary since Aksoy’s motivating belief is that wellness is not a luxury but the inherent right of every individual.
Growing from a celebration at one Turkish spa eight years ago to events in over 150 countries in over 5,000 locations or “communities” -- such as hotel/spa chains, fitness centers, yoga studios, associations, foundations, hospitals, schools, senior centers, and entire towns -- GWD’s overarching motto is: “One day, can change your whole life!”
Look for the hashtag #globalwellnessday to follow what happens from sunrise to sunset around the globe on June 8.
