We’ll continue our many virtual sessions, including masterclasses and virtual healing retreats, in the coming months

International wellness event, The Healing Summit, has announced it has postponed its forthcoming October event to 11-12 May, 2021.

Event organisers have confirmed the conference will still take place in Portugal at Pine Cliffs Resort, as planned, despite the rescheduling.

Healing Summit co-founders, Anne Biging, Elisabeth Ixmeier and Claudia Roth released a statement announcing the decision.

“We’ve been keeping a keen eye on the global situation, and as much as we wished and hoped that it would be safe to come together this October as planned, we agree that it just doesn’t make sense to do so.

“Our hearts remain open and we’ll continue our many virtual sessions, including masterclasses and virtual healing retreats, in the coming months.

“We’re happy to facilitate these gatherings to nurture and enrich our relationships and to create a strong, global healing community.”

Looking ahead, the co-founders revealed that they’re planning a full one-day virtual Healing Summit in October with speakers and sessions to honour the original intention of the 2020 event.

An annual conference since 2014, the Healing Summit is an initiative of the Healing Hotels of the World, and brings together like-minded individuals who are drawn to collaborate, raise awareness and inspire change.

The 2019 summit saw 138 people from 28 countries gather to learn, connect and share their perspectives.
