What word wouldst thou use to replace wellness in the sentence you cited above?

That's a fair question. In German they have a word for it, 'Kur', which btw all tax payers receive by law. In English that's a course of treatment or a cure, but that's is not as esoterical as these wellness farms, wellness programmes and what not. Finding a replacement word would be hard, but that's no wonder; if one spoke of visiting a course on well-being I'm sure more than a few eyebrows would be raised.I find whole concept of a wellness whatever very questionable. mumble, mumble.

Looks to me like wellness fits quite well into a niche for which we have need of a filler. I vote to keep it.
