Global consortium of holistic hotels, resorts and retreats Healing Hotels of the World will begin hosting regular virtual Mini-Healing Summits to guide the hospitality and wellness industries as they prepare to reopen in the unique COVID-19 landscape.

Sessions will feature conversations with international thought leaders, practitioners and experts.

The first instalment is set for 28 March 2021, hosted between 6:00 pm -7:30 pm CET.

“The Covid era is entering its second year, and we’ve all been thrust into a new reality,” says Anne Biging, CEO and co-founder of Healing Hotels and industry event the Healing Summit.

“We want to take this opportunity to explore how we move forward in this new world, and how we get past our fears to experience life joyfully.”

Called “Getting Past Fear and Trusting the Path Towards an Evolving World”, the debut session will feature insight from internationally renowned economist, speaker, and writer Dr Kjell Nordstrom and esteemed neuroscientist, university professor and author Dr Marjorie Woollacott.

Nordstrom will speak about how society is rapidly evolving due to the pandemic and share his vision of how we’ll live in a different world as we move forward.

Woollacott will provide perspective on how our brain can be trained to get past the fear of the unknown, and to trust the way towards an empowered and fulfilled life.

“While we’ve endured a year of loss, fear, uncertainty and discomfort, we’ve also had the opportunity to be silent, turn inward and embrace our inner wisdom,” added Elisabeth Ixmeier, co-founder and managing partner of Healing Hotels and the Healing Summit.

“We hope these two world-class experts – each so deeply steeped in a fully conscious, healthful and holistic life – will inform, inspire and invigorate attendees.”

Pricing for the first event is set at €30 (£26, US$36) per person.

A third of ticket prices will be donated to Tostan, an organisation based in Senegal that’s dedicated to empowering communities to develop and achieve their vision for the future, and to inspire large-scale movements that lead to dignity for all.
