Celia Gaze, founder of the multi-award-winning Wellbeing Farm in Lancashire, has officially registered a brand-new global awareness day: Conscious Day, which will now take place every year on 13th March.
Designed to encourage individuals, communities and businesses to pause, reflect and take meaningful action on their social and environmental impact, Conscious Day launches at a pivotal moment, coinciding annually with B Corp Month, a global celebration of businesses that meet the highest standards of social and environmental performance.
A Global Call for Conscious Living
Conscious Day invites people around the world to take just one day to slow down, gain perspective, and consider the legacy they are creating for themselves, their communities and the planet.
Celia created the day after witnessing first-hand how easy it is for individuals and organisations to get caught up in the fast pace of modern life, losing touch with purpose and impact.
Celia Gaze, founder of Conscious Day and CEO of The Wellbeing Farm, said:
“Conscious Day is a reminder that change begins with awareness. If we can all pause for one day, just long enough to ask ourselves whether we’re on the right path, we can start making decisions that are better for people, better for communities and better for the planet.”
“You don’t need to make radical changes. This is about small, thoughtful actions adding up to something powerful. Reflection is how we move from autopilot to intention.”
Born From a Pioneer of Purpose-Led Business
Celia is widely recognised as a leader in sustainable business and conscious entrepreneurship. The Wellbeing Farm was one of the first independent events and wedding venues in the UK to achieve B Corp certification and the first independent wedding venue in the world. It is celebrated for its commitment to environmental action, social responsibility and community wellbeing.
Celia’s mission with Conscious Day is to take that ethos far beyond the farm.
“We’ve seen through B Corp that business can be a force for good,” Celia added.
“Conscious Day extends that belief to everyone. Whether you’re a business owner, a student, a parent or a community leader, this day is for you.”

Aligned with B Corp Month
Taking place every March, B Corp Month brings together thousands of businesses globally to champion ethical leadership, social responsibility and climate action, with Conscious Day now permanently anchored on 13th March, Celia hopes the two movements will strengthen each other, inspiring both businesses and individuals to deepen their commitment to conscious living.
