World Wellness Weekend was founded in 2017 to support the United Nations’ objective of “Good Health and Wellbeing for All” by promoting five pillars of wellness: Sleep & Creativity, Nutrition & Immunity, Movement & Vitality, Mindfulness & Serenity, Sense of Purpose & Solidarity. This pro-bono event grows exponentially thanks to the support of two Secretaries of Health, three Secretaries of Tourism, 30 mayors, 60 international federations, and 190 volunteers around the globe. Professionals in fitness, sports, mindfulness, hospitality and tourism have heard the UN’s call to support their staff and local communities to address the challenges of inactivity, obesity, and anxiety.
