Virtual Summit

Our Mission

I M WELL Holistic Health & Wellness's (I M WELL) mission is to promote holistic health and wellness for the purpose of improving health and healthcare. We achieve this through exposure, engagement, education, encouragement, and empowerment (5E); and working with individuals, providers, organizations, and healthcare systems.

What is the Virtual Summit?

The I M WELL Holistic Health and Wellness Virtual Summit is a series of online events that includes panel discussions, interviews, lectures, and instructional sessions that provide content to assist individuals with improving their health and wellness. Our aim is to bring together a broad and diverse group of professionals in the health, wellness, and medical professions to share their knowledge and experience with attendees. The Summit also serves to promote professionals and entrepreneurs who offer health and wellness services and/or products.

The majority of the Summit events are free. You simply have to register to attend. The Summit is currently virtual due to COVID-19. Post COVID-19 the Summit will include in-person events.

Why this Virtual Summit is Important?

There is no doubt that 2020 taught us the importance of health and well-being. 2020 has caused suffering, trauma and unfortunately death, which has led to more suffering and trauma. Our sense of normalcy has been erased and we are uncertain as to when our “new normal” will arrive and what it will be. We do not know how long we will endure this chaos and uncertainty. What is certain is that 2020 has taught some of us the value of well-being and what it means to live a meaningful life.

COVID-19 exposed multiple vulnerabilities related to our health and wellness. We were confronted with the harsh reality of our fractured health care system. We learned the importance of having a healthier and stronger immune system which is in our control. The economic fallout from the pandemic has led to a rise in unemployment. Many individuals will find it difficult to regain employment because their industry has been decimated and many of those impacted lack adequate skills to quickly pivot to another career. The overall result has led to a rise in mental and emotional illness forcing us to begin addressing these illnesses as part of our health and wellness. The result is that we can easily see that health and wellness comprises more than one's physical health.

Self-care and holistic health and wellness industries are exploding as more people engage in preventive care and well-being practices. More people are learning more about nutrition, proper eating, yoga, meditation, and fitness. The food industry is recognizing the shift and attempting to capitalize by offering "healthier" products. Self-help industry continues to grow as more people are seeking to live more meaningful and authentic lives. Juxtapose those trends with the advancements in traditional healthcare that is utilizing technology to minimize the amount of time a patient spends with their physician or spends in the overall healthcare system. This only demands that we become more health literate and well-versed in our overall health and wellness. This Summit is part of I M WELL Holistic Health & Wellness's mission to encourage and empower individuals to take ownership of their health and wellness.

We were inspired to elevate our annual I M WELL Challenge to a Virtual Summit to further expose, engage, educate, encourage, and empower individuals to own their health and well-being. The Summit is part of I M’s effort to provide people the resources to not only survive but to thrive.

Our Focus

Our focus is on 10 Pillars of Well-being: Spiritual, Mental, Physical, Emotional, Financial, Career, Social, Familial, Cultural/Arts, and the Environment. We chose these areas as they are the foundation for living a well-balanced lifestyle. When these areas are balanced (not equal) one is more likely to experience a better state of being that leads to a confident, purpose-driven life. Though “purpose” is not explicitly noted as one of the areas, it is vital to experiencing a fulfilled life. One’s purpose is likely to be embedded in one of these 10 Pillars.

This Summit along with all of I M companies and brands including I M University, and I M Cooperative are committed to transforming individuals, organizations, societies, and the environment.
