A Call to Action for the Future of Community Medicine & Healing

A Gathering of Healers, Leaders, and Change-Makers

Who: The Summit will be attended by individuals and collectives who are committed to holistic, whole-person healing across multiple disciplines. This includes on-the-ground community organizers, health professionals, Western allopathic and osteopathic medical schools, complementary medicine practitioners (acupuncture, massage, traditional Chinese medicine), food justice advocates, artists, farmers, mutual aid groups, and many others from across the globe.

What: This convening will feature keynote speakers, community panels, roundtable discussions, workshops, and collaborative sessions designed to foster connection, innovation, and shared learning. It is an opportunity for participants to align their work, amplify their impact, and expand their collective vision for health and healing in our communities.

Why: At FCC, we believe in a health paradigm that honors the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, culture, and social justice. By blending ancestral wisdom with the strengths of Western medicine, we aim to challenge the disease-centered, profit-driven models that currently dominate healthcare. The Summit is a critical step in building a health movement rooted in community and culture, where each individual re-engages with the healer within themselves.
