4th Annual Cannenta Summit: Rooted in Strength
Join us for our Annual Cannenta Summit, a special gathering where our community comes together to connect, learn, and celebrate the work we do in service of mental wellness.
This year’s theme, “Rooted in Strength,” invites us to explore cultural healing practices that honor the traditions, resilience, and wisdom within our communities. Through engaging conversations and live demonstrations, we will experience practices that highlight the power of culture in healing and collective care.
Expect a morning filled with learning, cultural connection, and inspiration as we dig into practices that remind us why our work matters and how we continue growing together. The event will close with a calming sound bowl experience to help participants reflect, reset, and carry the day’s healing energy forward.
