Holistic Conference Network:

Since 1985, holistic centers from around the world have been gathering to discuss the opportunities and challenges they face. This year’s International Holistic Centers Gathering will be held at Breitenbush from April 30 to May 5.

Today’s holistic centers have significant opportunities to shape and model wise responses as humanity faces the polycrisis of climate change, economic inequality, and global conflict. This year’s Gathering will focus on how holistic centers can move from the transactional into the transformational and serve as beacons of social sanity in a world that has lost its center.

We invite you to join us in thinking both imminently and 200 years into the future about how holistic centers can help shepherd humanity towards its full potential during this period of immense transformation. By developing teachers, skills, and new ways of being and doing business, we believe that holistic centers have the capacity to build systems upon which the future will rely.
