Our mentalities have shift, driving us to think more about our wellbeing and driving us to act due to the quarantine and lockdown imposed last 2 years. The workshops that you may find at KL Wellness Festival play an important role in nurturing social, mental and emotional wellbeing for people to discover. The festival connects people and societies and educates them on the ‘Five Pillars of Wellness’: better nutrition to strengthen immunity, better sleep to increase creativity, deeper sense of mindfulness to enjoy serenity, more movement to enhance vitality and a heightened sense of purpose to share more solidarity.
