Anne Biging and Dr Elisabeth Ixmeier, founders of Healing Hotels of the World and the Healing Summit, are gathering activists, scientists and inspired leaders to host a virtual Healing Summit event on 23 October.
Called the Visionaries’ Table, the three-hour event will explore the connection between healing and responsibility on an individual, social and planetary level.
Highlights will include a keynote from Alternative Nobel Prize laureate scholar, environmental scientist and activist Dr Vandana Shiva, who stresses the interconnectedness of human beings and the earth.
Shiva will share her insights on how our individual choices contribute to positive change for sustaining the earth.
Other guests attending the Visionaries’ Table include:
• Ambassador Lhatu Wangchukintroduced the world to the concept of “Gross National Happiness” as a human development indicator during his time as a permanent representative and ambassador of Bhutan to the United Nations.

• Meditation and yoga practices to increase body and mind wellbeing will be led by intuitive coach Velleda Dobrowolny and Sandeep Agarwalla, head of yoga at the Ananda in the Himalayas.
“With the Healing Summit, we always aim to bring together visionaries to explore topical issues of our time,” commented Ixmeier.

We want to explore the connection between healing and responsibility for the benefit of all and are truly happy with the support of our mission from our extraordinary speakers.”
