Resetting the world with wellness

As the coronavirus pandemic began to spread, the Global Wellness Summit (GWS) and Global Wellness Institute (GWI) moved swiftly to respond, inform and empower the global spa and wellness industry.

These are unprecedented times, as the world has experienced a pandemic unlike any other in modern history. While many business sectors have experienced a contraction, there are some industries that now have the chance to explore new windows of opportunity. The wellness world is one of those.

We feel this is the moment for our industry to make its largest impact yet on the world stage, and we invite you to participate. We are calling this new movement ‘Resetting the World with Wellness’.

People are turning to our industry for the information and evidence we have always trumpeted on topics such as healthy eating, exercise, stress reduction and building a strong immune system. The importance of meditation and breathwork; nature and the environment; the significance of faith and spirituality; and the overarching and urgent need for mental health have all become priorities for people around the world.

Join our vision for the future

‘Resetting the World with Wellness’ is a vision for the future. We are writing this not as the GWI or the GWS, but as a unified community with a single voice. We are seeing a change – a shift towards a hopeful re-imagining of the world – and we are inviting you to join us.

To further this vision, we are making more content from the GWI and GWS available online. We have added a new section to the GWI website called PositivelyWell, where we offer resources that we hope will help people shift from fear and anxiety to resilience and optimism.

This is the time to work together, strengthening our community. The best may yet be ahead. Be safe, be well, and be part of ‘Resetting the World with Wellness’.
