On the 8th June, Global Wellness Day is set to mark its 13th annual celebration. This year’s theme is #MagentaNature, emphasising the vital connection between humanity and the natural world.
Founded by Belgin Aksoy in 2012, GWD is always celebrated annually on the second Saturday of June with free wellness activities across the globe and the guiding principle that ‘one day can change your whole life’.
This aim this year is to promote people’s overall wellbeing through reconnecting with nature and to encourage individuals to embrace the transformative power of harmonising with the environment.
With more than 150 GWD ambassadors, key supporters and volunteers leading the initiative, people of all ages are invited to adopt a lifestyle in unity with nature.
The #MagentaNature philosophy is made up of four pillars:
- Eat Natural: Embrace nourishing natural foods, celebrating the diverse gifts nature offers.
- Be in Nature: Immerse oneself in outdoor environments, allowing the senses to revel in nature's wonders.
- Protect Nature: Take conscious steps to reduce ecological footprint and preserve the environment.
- Be in Nature (Spiritual): Engage in spiritual practices fostering a deep connection with the natural world.
Aksoy commented: “Connecting with nature is not just an activity; it's a way of thinking. Those who choose to live well come to realise that connecting with nature is also a way of life. GWD is not just a celebration; it’s a call to action, an invitation for individuals to actively participate in their own well-being and contribute to a harmonious relationship with the world around us.Together, let us embark on this transformative journey towards a healthier, more connected and nature-centric existence with #MagentaNature.”
