Global Wellness Day will be celebrated online on Saturday, June 12 with a 12-hour free livestream featuring a series of public events and complimentary educational wellness offerings.

The 10th annual global event will unite global ambassadors, spa and wellness professionals and hotel groups including Accor and Mandarin Oriental under the the theme of ‘Protecting Our Mental Wellness’, during and after the pandemic.

The event’s Istanbul-based founder, Belgin Aksoy, has ensured it remains true to three principles in being educational, non-commercial and complimentary. It is her belief that wellness is not a luxury but the inherent right of every individual.

“I believe that living well is the simple necessity for every human being on the planet. With the pandemic, Global Wellness Day has truly gained importance – our aim with for the past 10 years has always been to make wellness a part of every individual’s daily life.”

The livestream will promote the value of being proactive and taking responsibility for your own physical and mental health, with ten-minute segments on topics ranging from nutrition and exercise to scientific breakthroughs for fighting pathogens; from fortifying mental and spiritual health to building compassionate communities.
