THE EXPERIENCE

Beyond the Body The Holistic Blueprint That Transforms Healthcare

In this session by Sarah Lascano, you'll discover: the three missing components for lasting healing; the hidden force that secretly controls your health; the simple factors you can change right now to influence your health; a powerful energy meditation to open to your perfect next step. You'll leave with a new understanding of your body's true healing capacity and actions you can immediately take to increase your body’s resilience and ability to self-heal.

Somatic Experiencing
A nervous system-based approach to recovering from

traumatic stress.

During Jake White’s presentation, you will learn about the autonomic nervous system and how each part of the nervous system works to sustain harmony and balance. He will discuss how trauma impacts the nervous system and how and why you hold onto past trauma, causing you to live in states of constant vigilance, shut down, anxiety, and fear. You will learn how the nervous system naturally releases stress and how it is designed to recover from overwhelming life events. Jake will include techniques that reset and regulate your nervous system and contain stress.

Living the Whisper
Awakening to the

Soul’s Light

In this presentation, Jill Marcy will guide participants on a journey of self-discovery and empowerment through the lens of Spiritual Self-Actualization Coaching. Blending neuroscience, energy awareness, and spiritual wisdom, she will share how your inner whispers guide you toward alignment, healing, and purpose. This session will include a short reflective journaling and visualization exercise designed to awaken your intuition and reconnect with your inner light.

Energy Medicine Basics

During this presentation by Dr. Anita Schill, you will learn about basic subtle body energy systems that impact your health and well-being. You will be introduced to the science and art of bringing the energies that naturally exist in your body into balance to help your body, mind, and emotions function at their best. Plus, you will have the opportunity to practice the Daily Energy Routine, a self-care strategy for keeping your energy systems in balance.

The SOLE of the Fascial System: Exploring the Magical Matrix of Awesome, Feet First


In this session with Dr. Laura Bergmann you will step into the world of fascia by starting where movement begins—your feet. In this playful, hands-on (feet-on) workshop, you’ll learn how the fascial system shapes balance, posture, and fluid movement from the ground up. You’ll learn simple techniques to release restrictions, awaken awareness, and experience how freeing the feet can transform the whole body.

Move to Balance: The Healing Benefits of Tai Chi and Qigong

Participants in this presentation will experience a lively lecture complemented by flows of movement using Tai Chi and Qigong forms to explore balance – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
