Our last panel of Day 1 will explore the future of wellness care with a focus on creating urban and rural infrastructures that prioritize decentralization, accessibility, and racial equity. This panel brings together community members# who will provide an overview of the current wellness landscape, addressing systemic barriers and trauma related to wellness spaces. Often perceived as exclusive to affluent communities, wellness can be accessible to all by looking to the earth as a primary provider. Our discussion will emphasize self-sufficiency and sustainability, highlighting how plants appear where they are needed and how our basic needs can be met at no cost. Learn about making our own medicines and the empowerment that comes from the earth, supported by the science behind grounding and sunlight. Join us to reimagine wellness as an inclusive and equitable practice.
