10:15AM - 11:15AM

The Tongue as the Missing Link How Oral Posture Shapes Fascia, Breath, and Whole-Body Movement with Dr Mandeep Johal

The tongue is one of the body's most overlooked postural muscles, yet it influences breathing, fascial tension, stability, and movement patterns from head to toe. This session combines evidence-based education with guided movement assessments, allowing participants to experience how changes in tongue posture and oral function can immediately alter balance, mobility, and body awareness. Attendees will leave with practical tools to assess and integrate these concepts into clinical practice.

 

11:15AM - 12:15PM

The Science of Movement Longevity A Sensory Intelligence™ Approach with Dr Emily Splichal

Movement is one of the most powerful predictors of how well we age. In this inspiring session, Dr. Emily Splichal explores the science behind movement longevity through the lens of Sensory Intelligence™—the connection between the feet, fascia, nervous system, and brain. Attendees will discover how sensory input influences balance, stability, resilience, recovery, and overall human performance, while gaining practical strategies to support lifelong movement and healthy aging.

 

12:15PM - 1:30PM

Lunch + Optional Lunch & Learn

 

1:30PM - 2:30PM

You are Only Limited by Your Nervous System with Dr Sean Drake 

Understanding the nervous system is more than parasympathetic / sympathetic - where emotion and mental trauma are priority over the physical. If this lecture we will dive into the science meets soul. Understanding you can do ANYTHING and that ANYTHING is possible when knowing what modalities to use and why to use them.

 

2:30PM - 3:30PM

Body Unlocking & The Freedom Within Movement with Dr Neel Bulchandani 

This immersive experience blends self-guided manual therapy, somatic movement, and ecstatic dance to help release tension, restore flow, and reconnect you to the intelligence of your body. Through movement, expression, and guided body awareness, attendees will explore greater freedom, vitality, emotional release, and nervous system connection in a powerful experiential session.

 

3:30PM - 3:45PM

Break

 

3:45PM - 4:45PM

The Fascia Reset Lab Hydration, Vibration, and Sensory Repatterning with Sue Hitzmann

This multi‑layered session blends fascial hydration techniques, lymphatic drainage and breath work entrainment using low‑frequency vibration, and sensory repatterning techniques to restore clarity to the entire neurofascial system. Participants explore how fluid flow, mechanoreceptor stimulation, and gentle sequencing can calm protective tone and improve movement efficiency. It’s a nervous‑system‑friendly reboot that feels subtle, intelligent, and immediately effective. Ideal for anyone seeking a deeper, more integrated approach to recovery and longevity.

 

4:45PM - 5:45PM

The Awareness Shift Sensory Movement & Human Perception with Joshua Holland 

This experiential session explores how movement, sensation, and perception shape the way we experience and interact with the world around us. Through guided sensory movement practices, attendees will deepen body awareness, enhance nervous system connection, and discover new ways to improve movement quality, presence, and human performance through the power of perception.

 

Sunday | 9.20.26

8:00AM - 9:00AM

The Floor 4 and the Embryological Phase Shift with Dr Neel Bulchandani

This experiential workshop explores the connection between the floor of the mouth, fascia, and whole-body function. Through guided release techniques and movement practices, attendees will experience changes in the tongue, jaw, palate, and airway while discovering the powerful "Phase Shift"—a cascading response that can reduce tension, improve movement freedom, and enhance overall stability and vitality.

 

9:00AM - 10:00AM

A Dive into Yourself through Breathwork and Movement with Dr Sean Drake

Knowing your breath is the most important tool you can use when regulating the nervous system. We will DIVE into slowing down, speeding up, and training for a life that is worth living and helping humanity at the same time.

 

10:00AM - 10:15AM

10:15AM - 11:15aM

Flow State Practical Strategies to Restore the Body's Healing Systems with Dr Perry Nickelston

Learn practical techniques to improve lymphatic flow, reduce inflammation, enhance recovery, and support nervous system regulation. Through hands-on assessment, self-treatment strategies, breathwork, and movement, attendees will experience how restoring flow can immediately impact mobility, resilience, and overall wellbeing.

 

11:15AM - 12:15PM

Exploring the Neuro-Fascial Interphase Hands-On Lab with Veronika Campbell

This interactive lab introduces foundational neural manipulation techniques designed to improve nerve mobility through the treatment of surrounding fascial tissues.

Lunch + Optional Lunch & Learn

 

1:30pm - 2:30pm

From Mouth to Movement The Science of Bite, Breath, and Nervous System Regulation with Dr Mandeep Johal

Discover how the bite, jaw position, and breathing patterns influence sensory input, autonomic regulation, and movement efficiency. Through a combination of lecture, live demonstrations, and participant exercises, attendees will explore the relationship between oral function and performance, recovery, and resilience. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of how the mouth can serve as a powerful gateway to nervous system regulation and optimal movement.

 

2:30PM - 3:30PM

Reboot Your Body’s Operating System Hand & Foot Neurofascial Therapy with Sue Hitzmann

Your hands and feet are the most information‑dense sensory hubs in your body, constantly shaping how your brain organizes posture, stability, and movement. When those signals get distorted, your whole system compensates. This workshop shows how gentle neurofascial techniques can restore clarity at the endpoints of your movement map, reducing tension and improving alignment in minutes. Participants leave feeling lighter, more stable, and more connected.

 

3:30pm - 4:30pm
