Dear all,
I’m excited to share that we’re hosting a one‑day conference dedicated to one of the most transformative areas in modern mental health: The Mind–Body Connection.
Mental health is changing. We’re learning that emotions live not only in the mind but also in the body. Trauma speaks through posture. Stress reshapes physiology. Healing often begins with breath, movement, and connection.
In this conference, we will explore how neuroscience, somatic therapies, lifestyle medicine, culture, and emerging technologies are reshaping the way we understand and support mental wellbeing.
This event brings together clinicians, researchers, therapists, educators, and leaders who believe mental health is not just a psychological experience but a deeply embodied one.
Whether your work is in psychiatry, psychotherapy, general practice, general medicine, neuroscience, integrative health, or somatic practice, this conference offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting‑edge developments in the field. It will be a powerful space to learn, connect, and collaborate.
Dates: 17 October 2026, 9.30 am to 5 pm
Location: Hilton Garden Inn Hotel, Potteries Way, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent ST1 4QA
