As the Global Wellness Summit celebrates its 20th anniversary in Thailand this November, delegates will share a special experience that reflects the spirit of connection, culture, and community that has defined the Summit for two decades.
In partnership with BuDhaGirl and Global Wellness Summit co-chair Jessica Jesse, students from Thailand’s Dhammajarinee Witthaya School (breaking the cycle of poverty for 1000-plus underserved girls across Thailand) will present a traditional Buddhist chanting ceremony, sharing a centuries-old cultural practice rooted in gratitude, compassion, and inner peace. The school has won multiple first-place honors in Thailand’s national Buddhist chanting competitions.
This year’s Summit theme, The Science, Art and Soul of Wellness, invites delegates to explore both wellness’s enduring foundations and its future possibilities. Alongside conversations about cutting-edge research and innovation, this will be just one of the powerful experiences planned that speaks to the “soul” of wellness—the deep meaning and shared humanity that lie at the heart of wellbeing.
Some Summit moments are difficult to measure or quantify yet become the experiences delegates remember and talk about for years afterward. This promises to be one of them.
