Wellness and
World Music Festival - October 9 &10, 2010
ZIGGY MARLEY /
RODNEY YEE / Dr. STEVEN GUNDRY
Our
town, Desert Hot Springs, will be the site of
the Wellness and World Music Festival October
9, 10.
Here is
what it will be about (taken from their
press release and website):
Featured in this year’s Festival is
five-time Grammy winner and reggae Icon
David Nesta "Ziggy" Marley. Ziggy’s most
recent album, ”Family Time,” won him a
Grammy in the category "Best Musical Album
for Children.” In addition to his musical
achievements, Ziggy Marley founded and heads
U.R.G.E. (Unlimited Resources Giving
Enlightenment), a non-profit organization
which benefits children's causes in Jamaica
and other developing nations. Ziggy is also
an active supporter of other children’s
charity organizations worldwide including;
Little Kids Rock, which brings musical
instruments and lessons to children in
public schools and the Room to Read
Organization, which provides books to
schools in developing countries throughout
Asia and Africa. Wellness and sustainability
are issues Ziggy Marley cares deeply about
for this and future generations. Ziggy
himself is a practicing vegetarian and
organic farmer. He recently licensed a song
for a “Yoga Revolution” CD, which along with
promoting the benefits of yoga, music and a
healthy lifestyle, also donates its proceeds
to provide fitness and health education for
underserved youth.
Ziggy Marley is a great symbol for the
Wellness & World Music concept. In this
Festival, he will join nationally and
internationally known health lifestyle
personalities, yoga trainers and
best-selling authors such as: Rodney Yee and
Colleen Saidman Yee, famed cardiac surgeon,
medical inventor and author of “Diet
Evolution,” Dr. Steven Gundry, as well as
other major wellness leaders.
The
Wellness & World Music Festival in Desert
Hot Springs will be a world-class signature
event – very likely the first time that
Wellness and World Music have joined their
powers of positivity, energy and joy. In
addition to the memorable entertainment,
everyone who attends this Festival will come
away with tools for leading a healthier way
of living. They’ll feel energized, focused,
de-stressed and enjoy an overall sense of
profound pleasure.
The Wellness & World Music Festival in
Desert Hot Springs will be an eco-friendly,
sustainable event offering visitors a wide
array of experiences to please the senses
and nourish the body and soul. The event
will feature world-renowned musical artists,
inspirational and expert Wellness speakers
and leaders, treatment centers, vendors and
healthy food sampling stations comfortably
arranged over dozens of acres in an oasis
setting.
Wellness
The Wellness Industry is a thriving,
multi-billion dollar worldwide business and
one that is attracting an ever increasing
number of consumers, corporate support,
civic attention and mainstream awareness.
From Austria to Budapest, Africa to the
United States, Wellness is already a $200
billion business with the Wellness industry
in growth mode. It is widely believed that
in the next few years, an additional $1
trillion of the U.S. economy will be devoted
to keeping healthy people healthy; the
implications of the shift to proactive
Wellness are far reaching from health and
beauty to food, medicine and travel.
Industry leaders at the Festival may include
such experts as; Rodney Yee, Dr. Steven
Gundry, Colleen Saidman Yee, Dr. Andrew Weil
and Mark Victor Hanson.
