About - The Realization of a Dream
The Holistic Health Harvest Conference was inspired by Jeff Phillips, a clinical psychologist at the LifeWorks Centre, as a result of life altering events that transformed his perspective on healing.
The death of his father when Dr. Phillips was three, and an incident as a young adult which led him to visit a nutritional doctor, motivated him to resolve that ill health would not be part of his history. He would arm himself with the knowledge and wisdom he needed to live a healthy life, assist others to help themselves, and encourage other practitioners to do the same.
As a result, the first Holistic Health Harvest Conference was launched six years ago, with the intention of providing information on alternative healing modalities that would permit individuals to take responsibility for their health. This first conference consisted of approximately 70 participants, most of the tickets given away to encourage attendance. Holistic Practitioners presented on a variety of topics, encompassing healing modalities for the body, mind and spirit.
And the rest as they say is history. The conference has become an annual event which is held every fall and attendance from the North Bay and surrounding area continues to grow. This year is no exception with a new venue that will accommodate 300 participants, not including speakers, vendors and volunteers.
The conference will include 16 dynamic speakers, and will emphasize the role Naturopaths play as general practitioners within the holistic health field. The Marketplace features a variety of holistic service providers, producers of health oriented and environmentally friendly products, as well as various sample demonstration opportunities.
Join us in exploring Holistic Health for the body, mind and spirit in all of it’s diversity.
On behalf of The Holistic Health Harvest Committee Members, thank you for making one man’s dream a reality.
