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

This first-of-its-kind, two-day, CME-accredited event will combine research presentations with hands-on breakout sessions and experiential learning focused on modalities such as acupressure, reiki, mindfulness, and sound therapy.

Participants will leave with practical tools and direct experience to strengthen whole-person care in their practices and communities.
