These conferences are a wonderful opportunity for practitioners of complimentary/alternative healing modalities to learn, share, exchange and develop community with their counterparts in Cuba and throughout the world.

Cuba has a highly developed integrated health care system, where modern western treatments are integrated with a wide range of traditional and innovative alternative therapies, to provide a truly holistic healing service for the whole population, free of charge!

Participants are also warmly invited to present their work and/or do workshops.

Holguin, which is in Eastern Cuba, is highly advanced in its awareness and integration of natural medicine and ecological concerns. It is a beautiful province offering numerous opportunities to re-connect with the natural environment through hiking etc as well as sample the truly vibrant and warm spirit of the Cuban people through meetings, music and dance.

The conference will last for approx 4 days with the rest of the time dedicated to visits to practitioners, clinics, healers and organizations involved in the natural medicine and ecological/organic movements in Cuba as well as relaxation time in nature. The cost will range $1200-1500 which includes round-trip airfare Miami- Holguin, accommodation (there will be flexibility on lodging standards), two meals a day, conference fees, visits to people outside of conference schedule, fun activities in nature, dance and music, meetings with ordinary Cubans, transportation, translators/guides, visas and licenses.

NB: The cost of conference in Havana will not include flights as it is much easier to get to Havana now, with flights from New York, Miami and Los Angeles (in the near future). More info on Havana conference on request.

Travel arrangements will be handled by an extremely experienced Travel company who have an official license from the State Department to run these type of trips to Cuba, and have been successfully doing so for many years. This will be a fully legal trip.
