The eighth annual Global Wellness Day (GWD) celebration will take place on Saturday, 8 June.
Last year, more than 100 countries celebrated GWD, with over 4,000 locations offering a range of complimentary health and wellness activities to the public.
GWD’s founder, Aksoy Belgin, strongly believes wellness is not a luxury but the inherent right of every individual. She works to ensure GWD events will never be commercial, remaining free and open to the public.
GWD’s manifesto is:
- Walk for an hour.
- Drink more water.
- Don’t use plastic bottles.
- Eat healthy food.
- Do a good deed.
- Have a family dinner with your loved ones.
- Go to Sleep at 10:00 pm.
Last year in the UK, GWD was embraced by founder of Gaia Skincare Diane Nettleton. This year, the UK’s GWD Ambassadors are Paul Gerrard, Gerrard International Communications Director, and Richard Emanuel (TBC).
Gerrard says: “Diane organised such an amazing event in 2018 and her plans for this year continue to be filled with just as much wellness for all to enjoy. I’ve been asked whether I feel we have too many days dedicated to mental health and wellness. The truth is, sadly for most people, there are not enough – 365 days a year is about the right number of days that should be dedicated to you caring for you and your world. Global Wellness Day isn’t about that one day, it’s about the other 364 days and what you do with them. In short, no-one’s ever got sick from having too many days of wellness.”
