The wellness industry has become a multi-billion-dollar business that claims to improve our health, happiness, and longevity. Our speakers share their research and personal stories that shed light on the beneficial, and healing aspects of true wellness whilst discussing the toxic trends born from this modern cult. Does the current movement just promote the commodification of ‘health,’ pseudo-science, and rampant individualism? How can we ultimately decolonize wellness and ensure that access isn’t just limited to those who are privileged?
