At the Wellbeing Association, we believe in the importance of nurturing interdisciplinary approaches that support wellbeing through knowledge, experience, emotion and inspiration. One of the most beautiful reflections of this approach is the ‘Sounds of Wellbeing’ playlists, specially curated by Radio Voyage for our association and the wellbeing conferences we organise every year. These playlists are carefully curated by Radio Voyage and consist of sounds and tracks that promote calmness, focus, inner balance and awareness.

The Sounds of Wellbeing playlists are open to everyone on Spotify and offer more than just music; they provide an experiential space that connects the body, mind, and spirit.

We also play these special selections throughout our Wellbeing Conferences to help participants establish a deeper connection with the space, the content and their own inner worlds. This collaboration contributes to the atmosphere of the conference and reminds us of the transformative power of music on the wellbeing journey.

We would like to thank Radio Voyage’s General Coordinator, Ms Neslihan Yavuzer, and her entire team for creating the Sounds of Wellbeing playlists for the Wellbeing Association and our conference.

You can easily access these special music selections by clicking on the images in our blog post, and listen to them to support your wellbeing in daily life.

The panel featured Özdal Ersoy, Vice President of the Wellbeing Association, and Dr. Ömer Önder, Honorary Member of our Association. Together, we discussed the integration of holistic health principles into modern medical practice and their growing importance in supporting overall wellbeing.

A Gathering of Visionary and Pioneering Minds

It was a great honor for us to be part of this highly valuable symposium and to come together with visionary, pioneering scientists who embrace a holistic perspective on health and healing.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Scientific Neural Therapy and Regulation Association, the Congress Presidents, and the entire Organizing Committee for their meticulous planning and valuable contributions. We also wish for the continued growth of scientific research and interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of neural therapy.

The Wellbeing Association organized the 3rd Wellbeing Conference on May 10, 2025, at Bahçeşehir University’s Beşiktaş South Campus in Istanbul. The event aimed to raise awareness of wellbeing in Turkey and to promote the development of individual, corporate, and societal wellbeing.

Now in its third year, the conference brought together experts and participants from diverse fields, including academia, healthcare, business, psychology, and technology. Throughout the day, attendees explored current approaches, research findings, and practical applications within the framework of a holistic wellbeing perspective.

Six Panels, 23 Expert Speakers

The conference featured six panels, each focusing on a different dimension of wellbeing.
A total of 23 speakers shared their knowledge and experiences with the participants across sessions led by a distinguished group of experts.

• Functional Medicine and Wellbeing Panel
• Physical & Mental Wellbeing and Breath Panel
• Financial Wellbeing Panel
• Super Intelligence and Wellbeing Panel
• Social Wellbeing Panel
• Wellbeing in Relationships – Keynote Speaker Session

These sessions covered a wide range of topics—from the role of functional medicine in holistic health, to wellbeing practices in the workplace, the psychological impact of financial wellbeing, and the implications of artificial intelligence on human wellbeing.

Participant-Centered Approach

Hosting around 300 participants, the conference was designed not only as a knowledge-sharing platform but also as an interactive and experiential event.
Each panel was followed by a Q&A session and networking breaks, offering participants the opportunity to directly engage with leading experts in their fields.

“We Continue to Promote Wellbeing Across Turkey”

In a statement on behalf of the Wellbeing Association, it was emphasized that the conference’s mission extends beyond sharing information—it aims to foster a broader understanding and adoption of the wellbeing concept in Turkey:

“With the 3rd Wellbeing Conference, we continue to support the wellbeing of individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. The growing interest each year demonstrates that the culture of wellbeing is becoming increasingly significant in our country.”

This is the text written by Wellbeing Association Supervisory Board Member Ayyüce Ökten after her visit to Hatay earthquake zone:

The event held in Antakya on 17-19 October with the contributions of Civic and Turkishwin under the title ‘What’s Next?’ was a meeting point for volunteer civil entrepreneurs who want to contribute to the revival and transformation of Hatay after the earthquake.

As Wellbeing Association, we were invited to this valuable organisation and I made a ‘Stress Management and Breathing’ presentation to the participants on behalf of our Association.

Antakya is a district of our country, which was the last to voluntarily join our motherland, which has hosted different nations and cultures for centuries, where history and culture are blended, where people are not distinguished according to their beliefs and sects, which carries the weight and healing of ancient wisdom in every corner, and which sets a very good example for my country.

I was very happy to explain to this group of tired but constructive, hopeful and hopeful people, who have endured a very painful and painful process after a great disaster, who are trying to find a way to support and help each other, how they can take their stress management into their own hands with simple daily routines and breathing exercises, and how they can contribute to their well-being by allocating only 10 minutes a day. And I must admit that it was the most valuable group I have ever taught.  

I wish that  Antakya, which has a place in my heart and which I left healed, will recover and heal as soon as possible by taking strength from its roots and the beautiful people it harbours.
