Overview
Following the powerful conversations and connections from 2025, the Indigenous Wellbeing Conference returns in 2026 with a renewed focus on moving forward together.
This year’s theme, From Healing to Thriving: Building the Next Generation of Wellbeing, reflects a shared commitment to holistic health, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual and to taking meaningful action that strengthens our people and our Nations for generations to come.
Over the course of three days, Elders, leaders, educators, program managers, and frontline workers will come together to share knowledge, spark inspiration, and develop practical steps that turn wellness into a way of life. This gathering is more than a conference; it is a movement to ensure Indigenous communities not only heal, but thrive.
