Why Attend Wellbeing 5.0

The day’s discussions will begin with an extremely important topic which revolves around inner intelligence. It will be spoken about by H.G. Nityanand Charan Das, a spiritual counsellor, author, and convenor of ISKCON South Mumbai.

In a world driven by external success and constant stimulation, this keynote will bring the focus back inward — to self-awareness, emotional strength, and inner balance.  The next topic revolves around healing by Zia Nath, Trauma-Informed Therapist | Founder - Centre for Healing & Sacred Arts. Designed as a safe and interactive experience, this session offers simple, non-invasive practices to help participants listen to their bodies, restore balance, and move towards greater ease, resilience, and inner harmony.

With insightful conversations exploring how ancient wisdom practices such as astrology, tarot, numerology, and energy healing are being reinterpreted in today’s fast-evolving world, this is an event that is completely holistic in nature. There will be extremely mature yet fun panel discussions and addresses throughout the day.

An exciting and invigorating conversation will also take place between Hrishitaa Bhatt, a famous actor and Dr Annurag Batra, Chairman & Editor-in-Chief, BW Businessworld | Founder, exchange4media. It is going to be a thoughtful and calming conversation exploring holistic wellbeing beyond external success and public life; the audience will surely be glued to their seats.

The day will end with musical healing experiences: Healing through harmony by Shibani Kashyap, Singer | Composer | Live Performer, followed by Ms Shubhangi, Singer | Composer | Voice Coach & Healer.
