The event will be a platform for discussion and discovery into the ‘Future of Wellness’, complemented by music, art and culture alongside wholesome, nourishing dining.
“SOUL Festival not only presents the rare opportunity to hear and learn from global health and wellness leaders but also puts words into practice with a series of extraordinary experiences designed to ensure guests nurture their mind, body and spirit over five days,” said Festival Director Chris Deckker.
The major wellness event will be hosted at the award-winning Soneva Fushi in the Maldives from October 9 to 13.
The list of speakers includes internal medicine and endocrine physician Zach Bush, oncology specialist and author Dr Nasha Winters, author and wellness entrepreneur Eric Edmeades and health and wellness cultivator and media personality Irina Sharma.
Each day begins with grounding and moving with intention on the sands of Soneva Fushi located within the Baa Atoll UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Maldives.
This will include immersive sessions led by Sanctum, renowned for transformative wellbeing practices that explore energy frequencies with mindful movement.
Attendees are then invited to explore and learn more about wellness through insightful talks, discussions, dining experiences and hands-on activities such as breathwork and ice baths.
Standout speaker sessions include ‘The Future of Healthcare and the Keys to Longevity’ with Dr Nasha Winters, ‘The Transformative Power of Breath’ with Marcel Hof, Anders Olsson and Julie Webster and ‘Treat the True Cause: The Healing of Identity’ with Jamie Wheal.
Incorporating a rich tapestry of inspiration, SOUL Festival also presents barefoot celebrations, starlit film screenings and live entertainment alongside nourishing dining at the resort’s acclaimed restaurants.
These include Out of the Blue, Out of the Sea, Shades of Green and Down to Earth, complemented by a special picnic lunch on Mendhoo Island and a farewell food journey designed to celebrate diverse flavours and stories.
“We are honoured to host the second edition of SOUL Festival, a celebration of wellness that resonates deeply with our ethos, and we look forward to offering guests an even more enriching experience at Soneva Fushi this October,” said Sonu Shivdasani, Co-Founder and CEO of Soneva.
