Harness the Power of Somatic Practices to Navigate, Ground, and Transform

Welcome to the 2025 Healing-Centered Education Summit

The Acosta Institute proudly presents "Metabolizing Uncertainty: Turning Towards Change with Somatic Practices."
A transformative two-day virtual experience designed for educators, leaders, and practitioners ready to explore the profound ways somatic tools can help us embrace uncertainty, build resilience, and lead with intention.

The Acosta Institute proudly presents the 2024 International Healing-Centered Education Conference: Capacity-Building in Times of Change.

A transformative virtual event for educators, leaders, and practitioners dedicated to creating resilient, inclusive learning environments.

Join global thought leaders and changemakers as we explore actionable strategies for navigating today’s complex social, political, technological, and environmental shifts.

Why "Metabolizing Uncertainty"?

In times of rapid social, political, and environmental shifts, uncertainty can feel overwhelming. But what if we could metabolize that uncertainty—process and transform it—into clarity, groundedness, and action? This summit centers on somatic practices as a powerful approach to turn toward change, embrace it fully, and navigate it with resilience.

What to Expect:
