11-11:45 am - STRESSED OUT? HEALING YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM with Sarah Rodewald, NP-C, Turning Point Health & Wellness
Chronic stress isn’t “just in your head”—it creates real, measurable changes in your body. In this talk, we’ll explore what’s actually happening biochemically when your nervous system is under stress, how those changes show up as physical symptoms, and why so many people feel stuck in cycles of fatigue, anxiety, inflammation, and burnout. We’ll break down the stages of chronic adrenal stress and nervous system dysregulation, helping you understand where your body may be right now. Most importantly, we’ll shift from awareness to action—sharing practical, approachable tools to begin regulating your nervous system and rebuilding resilience from the inside out. This talk is for anyone who feels wired but tired, overwhelmed, depleted, or disconnected from their body—and is ready to move from survival mode into a state of safety, balance, and healing.
12–12:45 pm - WHAT TRUE HEALING IS AND HOW TO ACHIEVE IT with Patricia Zimmerman, White Dove Circle
The human body has an innate capacity to heal itself. This workshop invites you to explore what true healing looks like when it begins from within. You’ll learn how the mind, body, emotions, and spirit work together to support well-being—or contribute to dis-ease (energy not flowing with ease). We’ll explore how thoughts and emotions impact the physical body, how unresolved patterns can settle into the body, and how to reconnect with your body’s natural healing intelligence. Through guided discussion and practical experiences, you’ll learn how to listen more deeply to your body and be introduced to simple, effective self-healing techniques you can use in everyday life. This workshop focuses on healing from the inside out—empowering you to become an active participant in your own well-being. If you’re ready for meaningful change, this is your starting point. The time for change is now—and it begins with you.
1-1:30 pm - THE HEART OF WELLNESS with

2-2:45 pm - PARASITES: SYMPTOMS, TREATMENT, PREVENTION with Antonia Storer
Every day, new information emerges about parasites and their impact on our health and well-being. In this informative workshop, you’ll uncover the hidden ways parasites can affect your body. We’ll explore the most common types of parasites, how they enter the body, and the subtle—and not-so-subtle—symptoms they can cause. Participants will gain practical, evidence-based strategies for diagnosing, treating, and naturally supporting the body through recovery. The workshop will also cover essential prevention methods to protect yourself and your loved ones from future infections. Whether you’re looking to improve your overall health or address ongoing concerns, this session provides actionable knowledge to help you take control of your well-being.
3-3:45 pm - BREAKING THE CHAINS OF ADDICTION with Cathy Feinauer, White Dove Circle of Light and Love
Addiction is a compulsive need for a substance or behavior that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, such as alcohol or narcotics, often to the point that stopping causes severe emotional or physical distress. If you or someone you love struggles with addiction, this class offers a deeper understanding of what addiction is, its root causes, and—most importantly—how to begin healing the body, mind, and spirit.
4-5 pm - HEALTHY RHYTHMS DRUM CIRCLE with Chief Douglas Blue Feather, Internationally Acclaimed Recording Artist
