When we take care of ourselves, those we love, our communities, wildlife and the environment, we strengthen the entire system we all depend on.

Welcome to the Achieving Optimal Health Conference 2026, an inspiring summer school series in partnership with Georgetown University where health meets heart and wisdom, science, and authentic conversation come together in meaningful ways.
This year’s conversations explore happiness, resilience, mental health, authentic living, connection, conservation, healthy aging, and the many ways wellbeing is shaped by how we care for ourselves, one another, and the world around us.
Join us for powerful talks from:
🌟 Charles DeSantis - I’m Possible and So Are You: Resilience, Joy and How to Show Up
🌟 Kristen Coffield - Active Grandparenting: Strong Enough to Love Well
🌟 Dr. Kostadin Kushlev - Happy Tech Lab: How Phones, Friendship and Focus Shape Our Well-Being
