2019 Global Wellness Summit..
The Global Wellness Summit (GWS) is an invitation-only international gathering that brings together leaders and visionaries to positively impact and shape the future of the dynamic $4.2 trillion global wellness economy. At each annual Summit, delegates are challenged to look at the way business is done and to create new, collaborative models for the future. We accomplish this by establishing a high-level dialogue among the decision-makers in attendance and by giving delegates the first look at the future of evidence-based wellness and the latest innovations in the industry.

Explore Extraordinary Singapore Full-Day Tour
|
Hosted by CHŌSEN Experiences
Sunday, October 13 Singapore, an island city-state off southern Malaysia, is a global financial center with a tropical climate and multicultural population. Its colonial core centers on the Padang, a cricket field since the 1830s and now flanked by grand buildings such as City Hall, with its 18 Corinthian columns. In Singapore’s circa-1820 Chinatown stands the red-and-gold Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, said to house one of Buddha’s teeth. Our full-day tour begins with a mindful movement practice at Singapore’s historic cricket field, Padang, followed by a healthful yet gourmet meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Singapore is a tiny country with a voracious appetite blending Malay, Chinese and Indian influences along with its seafood for which it is renowned. Our Michelin-starred chef and a food journalist will lead a discussion on the topic of “clean” and “healthy” Asian food, defining and navigating the cultural issues around the subject. This will be a meal you will not forget! On our next stop, we will explore an innovative co-wellness concept and participate in a healing session and discussion with a world leader in neuroplasticity about wellness practices in Singapore. Finally, our day ends with a guided meditation walk through the Botanical Gardens. With more than 150 years of history, the 82-hectare Gardens holds a unique and significant place in the history of Singapore and the region. The culmination of our day together will be an ecstatic movement experience surrounded by the region’s exotic orchids. To learn more, click HERE |
