How the International Wellness Alliance Came About

“Teamwork is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results”. Andrew Carnegie

That is exactly the sentiment driving the emerging global wellness movement named the International Wellness Alliance. It is the newest segment of MAPS Global Events (501c3 wellness non-profit). The International Wellness Alliance is a global collaboration of heart-centered, wellness focused professionals who leverage their synergy to enrich their community, broaden their reach, and have a positive impact around the world.

MAPS Global events will remain focused on enlightening and uplifting people around the world partnering with our colleagues to share resources, promote wellness services, and hosting the annual 7-day Global Wellness and Positivity Experience; while the International Wellness Alliance‘s goal is to enhance and expand the reach of the work done by our community to create a greater positive global impact.

 

This idea was inspired by the synergy with which groups partnered with MAPS Global Events to build our inaugural 7-day global wellness and positivity event in 2021. It was the brain child of MAPS Global Event Champion, John Donnelly.  I must give a special thanks to the entire advisory team that is consulting on strategies and helping to coordinate resources to make this a reality.

“Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead ~
