Inner Healer Summit
Inner Healer Summit Brings Leading Voices in Healing, Wellness and Conscious Leadership Together in Atlanta
Beatrice Dixon, Tassili Maat, Dr. Mark Armstrong and other featured voices will gather September 26 for a one-day experience exploring practical approaches to mind, body and spirit.
ATLANTA, GA, August 19, 2026 - The Inner Healer Summit will bring together leading voices from health, wellness, entrepreneurship, nutrition, energy practices, music and conscious living on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at UUCA / Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta.
Presented by Ahimki Center for Wholeness and produced by Healing Arts Management, the one-day summit grew from the vision of Ahimki founder Dr. Mark Armstrong, who sought to create a gathering where people could experience a range of respected perspectives on healing and greater wholeness in one setting.
The summit will combine keynote presentations, conversations, panels, interactive breakout sessions, restorative experiences and live music. Attendees will have opportunities to learn from practitioners and teachers, experience different modalities firsthand and leave with practical tools they can continue exploring in their daily lives.
“My vision for the Inner Healer Summit was to bring together people doing meaningful work across different areas of health and healing and give our community an opportunity to experience those perspectives together,” said Armstrong. “Each person may connect with different practices, ideas and resources that support their own path toward greater wholeness.”
An Expanding Lineup of Voices
Among the featured speakers are Beatrice Dixon, co-founder, CEO and Chief Innovation Officer of The Honey Pot Company; Tassili Maat, founder of Atlanta’s Tassili’s Raw Reality, culinary alchemist, urban mystic and healing arts advocate; Dr. Serena Satcher, a Harvard-trained physician specializing in integrative and functional medicine; Dr. Stephen Tates, a longtime Atlanta wellness practitioner, master herbalist and naturopath; John Stringer, award-winning international bestselling author and Top 10 Billboard-charting singer-songwriter; and Armstrong, a naturopathic doctor, Qigong and Kung Fu Sifu, and founder of Ahimki Center for Wholeness.
Additional speakers, facilitators and artists will contribute sessions spanning physical and emotional wellness, food and nutrition, energy practices, movement, music, creativity, stress management and other approaches to whole-person well-being.

A Partnership Rooted in a Personal Healing Journey
The collaboration behind the Inner Healer Summit grew from a personal connection between Armstrong and summit producer John Stringer, co-founder of Healing Arts Management.
Stringer first came to Armstrong as a client. The healing journey that followed, which Stringer has described as miraculous, was later chronicled in the award-winning international bestselling book The Inside Effects: How the Body Heals Itself, Volume 2. That experience helped establish an ongoing relationship between the two and ultimately played a role in Healing Arts Management choosing to help produce Armstrong’s vision for the Inner Healer Summit.
“My connection to Dr. Mark’s work is deeply personal,” said Stringer. “I first came to him as a client, and the healing journey that followed became part of my story in The Inside Effects. When he shared his vision for bringing these voices and approaches together in one experience, Kathy and I immediately understood its potential and why Healing Arts Management could help bring it to life.”
For Armstrong, the summit also builds upon more than three decades of work through Ahimki Center for Wholeness. The event will include a special recognition of Ahimki’s 33 years of service and its work helping people explore greater health and wholeness.
The programming is designed for people interested in understanding more about their own well-being, discovering useful resources and practices, and connecting with others engaged in personal and community wellness.
