Explore the Science of Healing

Our inaugural convening will take place October 5–6, 2026, at the MGB Assembly Row Campus in Boston.

This first-of-its-kind, two-day, CME-accredited event will feature research presentations and hands-on breakout sessions that allow attendees to experience healing modalities such as acupressure, Reiki, mindfulness, sound therapy, and more.

Participants will leave with practical tools and firsthand experiences that deepen their understanding of whole-person healing and can be applied in their own practices and communities.
