Join millions across the globe to celebrate Global Wellness Day with entirely complimentary activities on Saturday, June 8, 2024.

Istanbul, Türkiye – Global Wellness Day (GWD) is gearing up for its 13th annual celebration on Saturday, June 8, 2024 with the theme #MagentaNature. 2024 is the year where Global Wellness Day’s focus is on the profound connection between humanity and the natural world, advocating for a comprehensive approach to well-being. #MagentaNature symbolizes a journey of reconnection with nature, inviting individuals to embrace the transformative power of harmonizing with surrounding elements.

A connection with the natural world, #MagentaNature is essential for overall well-being, where nature is not just a place; it is an experience that nurtures physical, mental, and spiritual health.

This year, over 150 Global Wellness Day Ambassadors, Key Supporters and volunteers invite people of all ages to live a life in unity with nature, bringing together 4 pillars of #MagentaNature philosophy to outline a transformative action plan, encapsulating both the tangible and intangible dimensions of connecting with nature;

1. Eat Natural: Immerse yourself in the nourishing embrace of natural foods. Let your senses revel in the vibrant colors and flavors that the Earth graciously offers. Make every meal a celebration of the diverse, wholesome gifts nature provides.
2. Be in Nature: Step into the enchanting realm of the outdoors. Whether it is a majestic forest, a serene park, or a quiet corner of your garden, allow yourself to be surrounded by the living tapestry of nature. Let the sun kiss your skin, breathe in the crisp air, and let the symphony of nature’s sounds become the backdrop to your daily life.
3. Protect Nature: Become a guardian of the environment. Take conscious steps to reduce your ecological footprint. Embrace sustainable practices, recycle, and contribute to the well-being of the planet. By protecting nature, you preserve the sanctity of our shared home for generations to come.
4. Be in Nature (Spiritual): Engage in spiritual practices that foster a deep connection with the natural world. Whether through meditation, mindful contemplation, or simply taking moments of stillness in a natural setting, allow your spirit to intertwine with the essence of the Earth. Recognize that you are not separate from nature but an integral part of its grand tapestry.

“Connecting with nature is not just an activity; it’s a way of thinking. Those who choose to live well come to realize that connecting with nature is also a way of life,” says Global Wellness Day Founder Belgin Aksoy. “Global Wellness Day is not just a celebration; it is a call to action, an invitation for individuals to actively participate in their own well-being and contribute to a harmonious relationship with the world around us. Together, let us embark on this transformative journey towards a healthier, more connected, and nature-centric existence with Magenta Nature.”
