Attendees at AHNA conferences are registered nurses, educators, administrators, and other healthcare practitioners that experience the healing value of holistic community, networks, sharing circles and mentorship. The purpose of AHNA’s 32nd annual conference was to empower holistic nurses to transform their knowledge and passion into purposeful, conscious intentional action for the highest good of humanity and the planet. Holistic nurses left this conference equipped with new skills and approaches to participate meaningfully in health care evolution. Attendees enjoyed early morning activities such as Yoga and Qigong and celebrated at the Western “hoedown” banquet with a silent auction and dancing.
