Dan Siegel MD • Jessica Maguire • Judson Brewer MD PhD • Lori Desautels PhD • Stan Tatkin PsyD • Jan Winhall MSW • Eric Gordon MD

• Dan Siegel, MD opens the summit by revealing how presence and awareness stabilize the nervous system, transforming chaos or rigidity into integration and inner harmony.

• Jessica Maguire guides you from survival into regulation, showing how embodied awareness updates trauma-based predictions and builds emotional resilience without force.

• Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, explores how kindness and compassion deactivate habit loops and restore openness.

• Lori Desautels, PhD, brings nervous system literacy into daily life, demonstrating how adult regulation and co-regulation create safety, resilience, and connection in classrooms and families.

• Stan Tatkin, Psy,D uncovers how nervous systems shape attachment and relationships, revealing why understanding threat and safety changes how we love, connect, and repair.

• Jan Winhall, MSW, introduces the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model, offering compassionate tools to shift state safely, reduce shame, and restore embodied regulation.

• Eric Gordon, MD, closes Day 1 by explaining how unresolved nervous system threat sustain chronic illness—and how signaling safety allows healing processes to complete.

Bessel van der Kolk MD • Judith Orloff MD • Paul Conti MD • Ruth Lanius MD PhD • Dawson Church PhD • DaeEss 1Dréa Pennington Wasio MD • Emily Balcetis PhD

• Bessel van der Kolk, MD, opens Day 3 by exploring how the body holds helplessness and what restores agency and aliveness.

• Judith Orloff, MD, guides highly sensitive people and empaths in transforming overwhelm into grounded presence, teaching how to work with emotional intensity while maintaining energetic boundaries and inner stability.

• Paul Conti, MD, reveals how trauma-driven brain patterns shape behaviour beneath conscious awareness, offering insight into why emotions override logic and how perspective restores choice and agency.

• Ruth Lanius, MD, PhD, shares groundbreaking research on why trauma disrupts the brain’s ability to update predictions, keeping the nervous system stuck in past threat responses even when present conditions are safe.

• Dawson Church, PhD, demonstrates how energy psychology and EFT practices calm stress responses, release stored emotional charge, and rewire the brain toward resilience and emotional balance.

• DaeEss 1Dréa Pennington Wasio, M,D explores how identity, safety, and hope reshape the nervous system, guiding the transition from survival-based patterns into self-leadership and embodied wholeness.

• Emily Balcetis, Ph,D closes the day by revealing how perception shapes motivation and stress, showing how small shifts in focus create physiological readiness for growth, repair, and forward movement.

John Assaraf • Pedram Shojai OMD • Kien Vuu MD • Mark Walsh • Betsy Polatin • Harry Massey • Katja Cahoon

• John Assaraf opens the day by showing how to train the brain through Innercise and breath to regulate stress, interrupt automatic patterns, and access flow states for sustained performance.

• Pedram Shojai, OMD, guides you along the Urban Monk path, blending movement, gut intelligence, and inner awareness to restore nervous system freedom and whole-person vitality.

• Kien Vuu, M,D reveals how identity-driven stress quietly undermines longevity, offering practical resets that shift the body from pressure and self-judgment into resilience and ease.

• Mark Walsh explores how embodiment restores agency and leadership, demonstrating why real regulation and clarity emerge through the body, not thought alone.

• Betsy Polatin leads an experiential journey into breath, movement, and grounded support, helping the nervous system soften, reconnect, and move from shutdown into aliveness.

• Harry Massey discusses why chronic illness persists until the body’s energy system is addressed.

• Katja Cahoon closes the day by exploring how somatics, community, and psychedelic-informed insight expand the window of tolerance and support safe emotional integration.
