BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE is the first OFFICIAL SPONSOR of World Wellness Weekend
September 22 & 23, 2018 hundreds of properties in over 50 countries take Wellness to the next level to encourage people to improve their DNA through enhanced lifestyle
This pro-bono initiative is coordinated globally by Jean-Guy de GABRIAC, author, strategist & educator.
BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE's chairmens Rupert Schmid and Pierre-Louis Delapalme shared their thoughts on sponsoring the World Wellness Weekend:
« We are very supportive of the new World Wellness Week-End initiative from Jean-Guy de Gabriac. Combining Wellness, Hospitality, and Personalization is at the core of what we strongly believe in at Biologique Recherche!"
Discoveries in epigenetics show that although people may have a genetic predisposition to certain pathologies, their lifestyle has the biggest influence on how genes express themselves. In a way, our DNA is like a loaded gun, but it is really the way we sleep, eat, exercise, cope with stress and engage in social activities with friends & family that eventually pulls the trigger... or not! What NATURE gives us, grows or blooms in the way we NURTURE ourselves. When people smile & have fun, their body chemistry changes, with less adrenalin & cortisol (stress hormones) and flourishes with serotonin & oxytocin (pleasure hormones).
With the active support of 35 Spa & Tourism Associations, World Wellness Weekend will be celebrated in +50 countries across all continents on September 22 & 23 to introduce millions of people with FUN & creative activities that will be organized for free by hundreds of properties (spas, hotels, yoga/Pilates studios, dance schools)
Launched in 2017 in France & Belgium, this pro-bono event is fueling the creativity of Spa-Wellness-Tourism professionals across the globe so they organize new & exciting experiences (activities, classes, treatments) to encourage people to shift their mindset and joyfully take better care of their body & mind in a preventative way to induce sustainable change in their lifestyle to live longer, healthier & happier!
Obesity, chronic diseases, mental health are staggering issues with scary statistics from World Health Organization. World Wellness Weekend (or W³ as some people call it) takes Wellness to the next level, with fun & gusto, to engage people to be more active regularly with their friends, family and Wellness buddies.
The equinox of the 3rd week-end of September is an ideal time when major events converge with World Wellness Weekend: the European Parliament will organize the 4th European Week of Sports with 17 million participating in 29 countries (#BEACTIVE Sept 23-30) and the World Sauna Aufguss Championship will take place in Satama Sauna Resort & Spa (Germany) on Sept 22-23. When we move, dance, smile, we share a common language.
All participating properties appear on a multi-lingual website (English, French, Italian, Spanish, soon in German) and a World Wellness Map locating fun & creative FREE activities:
✓ Yoga with a live musician, on the terrace at sunrise or sunset
✓ Yoga & Vino (open your chakras with asanas & taste-buds with wine-tasting)
✓ Sweat with Zumba, splash with Zumb’Aqua ✓ Flash mob in bathrobe (dance, yoga)
✓ Wellness treasure hunt for kids & parents
✓ Sensorial workshops (massage, facial gymnastics, or eye yoga)
✓ Creative workshops (make up session, create your custom product or perfume, or write a Haiku) One of World Wellness Weekend’s objectives is to remind people that, while health is a relationship between your body & a doctor; Wellness is a responsible relationship between your body/mind and yourself. It feels GREAT to be WELL!!!
