The “Spirit” of the Kala Ashram International Wellness Summit is one in all shared purpose instead of individual gain. It is a readiness to place aside all our competitive egos and private personal business goals while we join together and spend time shaping the future of the wellness industry especially with areas like Ayurveda, Kuti Praveshika Rasayana, Naturopathy, Massages, Yoga, Meditation, Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Mental and Spiritual Wellness.
It is designed to be a gathering of top experts within the above fields; the invitation-only summit brings together experts from round the world. The participants in the summit contribute their time and expertise, as well as possible resources to make the summit a hit.
All summit delegates are requested to attend the entire summit, so that there will be interactive sessions, sharing of experiences and developing new ideas. Paying registration fees is mandatory for delegates and their travel and accommodation expenses should be covered individually. The exceptions for the delegate fees are only in rare cases where an invited delegate attends a single session in order to provide expertise. The speakers who have been invited by the organizers to share their knowledge on a specific topic are also exempted.
Summit speakers, delegate presenters and the panelists are asked to abstain from promoting themselves and their businesses during presentations. Thanks to the intimate setting and also the efforts to produce numerous networking opportunities, we feel that there is no need for self promotional activities or company promotions during presentations, speeches or discussions from the rostrum. Self-promotional efforts of any kind are considered a significant breach of the spirit of the gathering.
Although contact information is provided at the time of summit by means of delegate notebooks to encourage relationships post-summit, no other electronic mailing lists are sent out and any effort on the part of any delegates or others to collect email addresses for doing promotional purposes would be considered for excluding them from future summits.
Each year we welcome some major sponsors for the summit. The sponsors are an importance backbone of the summit and are partners who share the mission of the summit and generously help offset costs. While their physical visibility may be limited, we encourage delegates to personally thank each of them during and after the summit and support them with their business whenever possible.
Let us now engage within the important work of exchanging ideas, debating and collaborating for the betterment of our wellness industry, the consumers and also the planet we share.
Thank you all well in advance for embracing the “Spirit of the Summit”.
