You might know wellness (center) as the place where you can go, get a white towel and lightened by candles and scents you let yourself dive in a whirlpool or relax in sauna, or you let some handsome masseur take care of your body. After this perfect scenario you leave wellness (center) relaxed, with piece on your mind and light smile on your face.

Have you ever thought, what does the word wellness actually mean? Apparently is has its origins in the English language, but you won´t find it in a dictionary. At the same time, everybody knows it...

In this lecture I will tell you the answer and you will learn as well:

• Where the word wellness came from and when it was used for the first time?
• How is wellness related to eastern practices like Ayurveda, traditional Chinese medicine or antique kalocagathia?
• Why isn´t it enough to take a bath or some happiness pills our doctor could easily prescribe to us?
• What is the difference between wellness in Europe and wellness in the USA?
• And finally, how can you make yourself your own wellness, on your own, anywhere, for example even during our lecture.

In fact, the truth is that in order to have a light smile on your face, you don´t need to go anywhere. The real wellness doesn´t have a reception and pretty young girl that hands you keys to your locker and instructions "Do not enter sauna in your swimsuit".
