Inaugural Adirondack Wellness Publication to be Released - Contributors Wanted to Tell Our Wellness Strory!

This special guide of the Adirondacks wellness community will help local residents and businesses and visitors connect with the historic and blossoming industry. The wellness economy is now a billion-dollar industry and growing. It is about outdoor recreation, local food, education, health and the arts. This guide will provide dedicated pages to each of these areas to foster the Adirondacks as a wellness destination.

The guide will be inserted in the Adirondack Daily Enterprise and Lake Placid News as well as online. It will also link to various wellness travel organizations, chambers of commerce and the Adirondack wellness community.

Deadline for submissions is March 20, 2015. Adirondack Spirit is assisting in facilitating this educational journal. Please contact us for more information.

Adirondack Wellness Initiative Steering Committee

12:00 noon - 1:15PM

Lake Clear Lodge & Retreat

Adirondack Spirit will be facilitating the first meeting of 2015. Substantive work has been done now and the agenda will include:

I. An outline for the inaugural Adirondack Wellness Journal targeted to be published May 1st.

II. A follow-up Spring Wellness Summit with potential international and wellness destination speakers on "Models & Steps to Create a World Renown Wellness Destination."

III. An Potential Opportunity to Present @ the Annual Adirondack Research Consortium

IV. A Potential Spring Wellness Business Workshop

V. Meeting with State officials on a potential Wellness Initiative grant.

I am also pleased to report that the steering committee is taking shape. One of the goals for 2015 was to gain participants from the "7 pillars of wellness" so there will be some new faces not currently on the group.
