Ron Robertson Interim Leader · The Independence Party of Alberta
About I am a fourth generation Albertan and was born and raised in Edmonton. I realized when I was young that Albertans were never offered a fair deal within Canada and Alberta was created as a resource colony for the Laurentien elites since 1905. I believe it's time for Alberta's destiny to be put into their hands of Albertans and not left to the whims of central Canada.
Experience I was a police officer for 25 years and saw the best and worst of society. After leaving policing, I have been a private business owner where I had the opportunity to meet and learn about people from countries around the world.
Why they’re speaking I believe we are at a critical time in the history of Alberta where the danger of remaining a province of Canada is unknown to many Albertans. I want to engage with as many people as possible so they have the opportunity to do their own research on the topics I will speak of, so they may warn others of the dangers of remaining within Canada.

Christianne Zurowski Body Intelligence Coach, Facilitator and Speaker · Next Chapter Coach
About Christianne Zurowski is a Certified Embodiment and Body Intelligence (BQ) Coach, speaker and founder of the BQ Framework. With 25+ years of facilitation experience, she helps people bridge the gap between knowing and doing—using practical, body-based tools to interrupt automatic patterns, navigate stress, communicate with greater presence and make more conscious choices.
Experience Certified Embodiment Coach (C.E.C.) and ICF Certified Organizational Coach (C.O.C.), with 8+ years of coaching experience and 25+ years presenting and facilitating groups. A former high school educator of 17 years, Christianne brings extensive experience working with people in real-world environments where stress, communication, confidence and human dynamics matter. Her work is also informed by her own ongoing practice of Body Intelligence—learning to recognize and shift the patterns that show up when life gets “lifey.”
Why they’re speaking I’m drawn to vitality because I think so many of us have gotten really good at pushing through. We keep going, keep doing, keep telling ourselves we’re fine—while our bodies are often telling a very different story.
But underneath vitality, I’m also deeply interested in what it means to really know and belong to yourself. To recognize your own signals, needs, capacity and patterns—and stay connected to who you are while navigating the expectations and demands of the world around you.
I want to open up the possibility that we don’t have to wait until life gets really hard before we pay attention. Body Intelligence gives us a way to notice earlier, understand ourselves more deeply and have more choice in what happens next.
For me, this isn’t about becoming endlessly calm or perfectly self-aware. It’s about being more fully and authentically yourself—so you can show up for your work, relationships and community from a place that feels connected, aligned and genuinely yours.

Certified Whole Life Coach
Certified Wolfe Non-Surgical Deep Tissue Practitioner
Blended Family Dads Advocate
Owner, CEO & Visionary of Valiant Wellness and The Valiant Lifestyle
Why they’re speaking I want to speak because I believe too many people have confused independence with isolation, or "I got this on my own because I can't count on anyone". True strength isn't about carrying everything alone. It's about taking ownership of who we are, standing firmly in our purpose and building relationships where we grow stronger together. I want to challenge people to rethink who we are as a whole, embrace interdependence and become the steady rock their families and communities can depend upon.

Giovanna Sofía Collaborative carpenter · Historika cultural
About Hello, I'm Gio,a 29-year-old Argentine lesbian activist migrant in Mexico. Interdependence is a vital practice for me. Without her I would not be alive and for her I work, create, think and feel. I work and have worked on several labours but that is not the important thing in my presentation for this context. I am interested in sharing questions around the social abilities for interdependence.
Experience I'm the result of being the 5th child of a big family+ being professionally trained as a contemporary dancer + having studied obstetric nursery + accompanying abortions within a feminist organization + migrating to Mexico running away from a fascist goverment and working every possible precarious job to be able to afford living + create and sustain a cultural hostel for women and people Lgbtiq in Chiapas with a group of friends + being a percussionist and singer in an Argentine lesbian folklore band+ sustaining a queer cultural bar in the coast of Oaxaca + being a carpenter
Why they’re speaking I want to talk about interdependence because I consider that it is the survival strategy to which we have to orient ourselves back as human beings. I want to talk to you because an international meeting like this needs Latin American voices from hostile contexts to broaden your vision to other territories that think of solutions in different ways and from other perspectives.

Danny Neufeld Business owner · Flatline Mechanical
About I am a Millwright and entrepreneur. I have worked a wide variety of industries across Canada. I also have enjoyed owning and travelling with my own Airplane in this great county. I have been through 2 business start ups and relocating a business. I believe there has never been a better time to be be better.
Experience Danny worked in a wide variety of industries as a Millwright contractor, He did his pilots license in Montreal in 2012 and bought hs own aircraft and flew across the Rockies and Coast mountains to Sunshine Coast where after installing 40 pumps in a pulp mill project he eventually resurrected a massive old lathe and marketed turned log and other timber products. He started a family there but after 7 years of watching housing inflation balloon beyond conceivable reach he decided to sell the lathe and relocate the other equipment and timber and resources back to Alberta where he could afford to live comfortably own a home and land. He has since been growing his business and looks forward to employing and training the next generation.
Why they’re speaking We have a reponsibility to be better as a collective consciousness for future generations. We live in a time where access to information, energy and technology has never been better. There has never been a time in history where the propensity to be better as an interdependent community has been so high. We must use it to create abundance and prosperity. When people form communities with common values work together to create great things happen. The present model of using political division to sow inflation and scarcity must be abandoned, and it's as easy as accepting your own agency to be better within your own community.

Scott Howard Bioarchitect / Artisan / Teacher · Earthen Hand
About For over 25 years, I’ve been reshaping the way we build – transforming sand, clay, fiber, and stone into living, breathing structures that harmonize with nature. As the founder of Earthen Hand Natural Building (2002), I craft holistic natural homes and regenerative destinations where human life and the natural world thrive together. I am a visionary teacher and hands-on artisan.
Experience I am searching for like minds to collaborate on next level bioarchitecture, permaculture design, appropriate technology, and community building. My portfolio speaks for itself with several dozen stunning projects completed to date. I enjoy working closely with my clients to bring their dream homes to fruition. I have also taught educational workshops globally since 2002 with a focus on building community around these themes.
Why they’re speaking Shelter is the common human need, as well as beauty. We all need to connect with ourselves via the natural world. One way to do that is through our buildings, and our ancestral connection to the Earth. I’d like to open the practical possibility of cultivating connections between owner builders for mutual support and inspiration.

David Parker Founder · Take Back Alberta
About David Parker is an Alberta entrepreneur, producer, organizer, and capital raiser with a background in building political, media, and cultural projects. He founded Take Back Alberta and has since expanded his work into film, live events, private investment, and business development. His projects have included major speaking tours, documentary production and financing, and early-stage ventures acros
Experience My experience has been shaped by building organizations, raising capital, producing major live events, working in media and documentary projects, and organizing people around difficult public questions. I founded Take Back Alberta and have spent years working directly with citizens, donors, entrepreneurs, political leaders, and community organizers across Alberta and beyond.
That work has given me a practical view of how institutions, incentives, public opinion, and leadership actually function outside of theory. I have seen both the power of organized citizens and the limitations of political institutions. I have also experienced the pressures that come with public controversy, regulatory scrutiny, financial risk, and building organizations from the ground up.
I tend to see problems through the lens of human agency, incentives, culture, and responsibility. Where I sometimes differ from conventional institutional thinking is that I place greater weight on informal networks, individua
Why they’re speaking I want to speak because I think many people have lost a sense of agency. They feel that the institutions around them are too large, the problems too complex, and their own actions too small to matter.
My experience has taught me the opposite. Again and again, I have seen relatively ordinary people change the direction of organizations, communities, businesses, and public debates simply because they decided to act, organize, and persist.
The shared human need that draws me in is the need to believe that our choices matter. The practical possibility I want to open is simple: to help people see that meaningful change is often much closer, and much more achievable, than they think.

Kenisha. M Community Wellness Guide, Microscopist & Unregistered Nurse · yyc ROCKS Foundation
About After nearly a decade in rural nursing, Kenisha’s work evolved toward exploring the stories blood reveals about our internal environment. Through Live & Dried blood microscopy, her focus is - synthetic parasites, inorganic material, and environmental toxicity. Deeply committed to community-focused conscious wellness, she guides others toward natural options and resources to build lasting vitality!
Experience I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and spent nearly a decade working in rural healthcare. At the time, I didn’t fully recognize the limitations of the healthcare model I was working within. It wasn’t until I lost my job following the COVID mandates that I found myself outside the system for the first time. That distance gave me a new perspective on what I had personally witnessed, and I began questioning what I had once accepted as “care.”
I came to recognize a model heavily focused on symptom management, medication, documentation and dependency, often with limited time to consider what an individual truly wanted or what may be contributing to their health concerns.
That experience completely shifted my path. Today, instead of primarily managing symptoms, I guide people in community with a focus on nourishment, movement, nature, connection, reducing physical and emotional burdens, & creating an environment that supports the body and mind.
Why they’re speaking I want to speak because I believe we all share a deep human need to feel seen, heard, and genuinely supported, especially when navigating our health. My experience has shown me what becomes possible when we step away from simply managing symptoms and instead build environments where people can actively participate in their own healing.
Through visual tools like blood microscopy, we gain a powerful mirror into our internal environment, witnessing firsthand how the body can heal from within when given the right conditions. I want to bridge that deep self-awareness with tangible, everyday choices, opening the possibility for a more personal, community-centered approach to wellness—one rooted in nourishment, movement, nature, and mutual support. Ultimately, I hope to invite every listener to step out of dependency, trust their personal power, and recognize that true, root-cause healing does not have to happen alone.

Alanna Brennan Somatic Practitioner, Outdoor Educator, Speaker · Founder - Womb Reclamation
About Somatic Practitioner & Outdoor Educator focused on nature-based approaches to healing, embodied connection, and relationship with the Earth—with a particular focus on women’s trauma and healing, and the parallels between personal healing and ecological restoration
Experience National Outdoor School of Leadership Training
& Wilderness First Aid,
Managing Conflict Certificate at Royal Rhodes University,
Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Victoria,
Polyvagal Theory for Somatic Experiencing at the Polyvagal Institute
3 + years operations for Compassionate Inquiry by Dr. Gabor Maté
5 + years facilitating groups as an Environmental Educator / Nature Guide
10 + years participating & assisting in shamanic ceremony
Most importantly, my greatest training has been through the School of Hard Knocks—walking my own path of recovery, healing, and self discovery. Over the past 15 years, I’ve immersed myself in somatic work, trauma healing, and countless modalities and treatments to move through both physical and emotional pain, and have realised connection to the Earth is connection to Self.
Why they’re speaking My own journey through chronic illness and late stage capitalism has made me come face to face with the dangers and downfalls of prioritizing independence and solely relying on the nuclear family. In nature, all things thrive through symbiosis and interconnection, and so it must be with humans as we return home to relationship with ourselves, others and the planet.

Dr. Robert C Dickson Dr Bob · Safe Water Calgary
About Dr. Robert C Dickson (Dr Bob) is a recently retired family physician from Calgary, Alberta. Born and raised in Alberta, Dr. Bob was educated in Calgary with a degree in Kinesiology, Paramedics Certification at SAIT, and MD from U of Calgary. He has done electives and locums in the South Pacific, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Baffin Island and rural Alberta.
Experience Dr. Dickson has been involved in social justice movements for several decades. He was Chair of Tools For Peace in the 1980’s, President of Change For Children and Chair of the Arusha Cross Cultural Centre in the 1990’s, and a senior volunteer with RESULTS Canada from 1996 till 2019.
Dr Bob has led the anti-fluoridation movement in Calgary since 1999, resulting in the removal of water fluoridation in 2011, founded Safe Water Calgary in 2017, fought the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta over his water safety advocacy since 2019, and is the current Chair of Fluoride Free Canada.
Dr. Bob is also currently the Chair of the Four Worlds Centre for International Development, and a Founder and Board Member of Project Ixcanaan in Guatemala.
Why they’re speaking Water, especially clean and safe water, is one of the very most important entities in our world. It comprises 70-90% of our human body and functions, and more and more we are researching and realizing the energy and indeed sacredness of this precious substance, enforced and revealed by the incredible research by greats such as Dr. Emoto from Japan and Veda Austin from New Zealand.
Sadly, those attempting to educate and change policies have consistently been censored and blocked from mainstream media and other forms of communication, and pursued by various regulatory bodies.

Laura Manzanares Founder of Calgary Biohacking Collective, Holistic Health and Wellness Consultant · Calgary Biohacking Collective
About Laura Manzanares, founder of the Calgary Biohacking Collective, is an entrepreneur and holistic consultant specializing in cellular detox, parasite cleansing, cancer-support protocols, ozone, PEMF, and red light therapy. A biohacker- she empowers people toward vitality through root-cause care, low-toxin living, mineral balance, mindset, trauma work, and treating the body as a whole.
Experience My deepest qualification is lived. I walked my son, my father and myself through major health challenges when symptom-chasing and siloed care were not enough. We are now happy, healthy, and thriving. That road is why I founded the Calgary Biohacking Collective and why I work the way I do.
I am an entrepreneur, holistic health consultant, peptide educator, and biohacker. I work with cellular detoxification, parasite cleansing, custom holistic cancer-support protocols, ozone, high-intensity PEMF, and red light/infrared—alongside low-toxin living, vitamin and mineral balancing, and plant medicines.
Where I see things differently: the body is not a stack of disconnected systems. Emotions and unresolved trauma are not “soft” extras; they change physiology. Hidden exposures matter as much as the protocol. Vitality is not something you wait to be given. It is something you reclaim—with knowledge, tools, and the courage to treat the whole terrain, not just the lab marker in front of you.
Why they’re speaking I want to speak at In+ter because the need I keep meeting is the same one that once sat in my own house: the need to stop being a passenger in your health.
People do not only need more information. They need the felt possibility that their body can come back online—that fatigue, pain, fog, fear, and “we don’t know what’s wrong” are not a life sentence. That need became personal when my son and I had to find another way. We did. We are thriving. I will not pretend that was luck. It was root-cause work, low-toxin living, mineral balance, honest emotion work, and tools that treat the whole terrain.
What I want to open is practical, not performative: a way to look at cellular burden, parasites, hidden exposures, mindset, and trauma as one conversation—and leave with something you can actually do. Not a new identity as a patient. A path back to authorship over your own vitality.

Gemma Stone Author and coach
About Gemma Stone is a psychology expert, author, speaker, and transformational coach who has spent 20+ years exploring what helps humans heal, love, evolve, and truly love their lives. Her work brings science and soul together to explore the inner patterns that shape how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world, and how we become more fully alive without losing ourselves or one another.
Experience What if wellbeing isn’t simply an individual achievement? What if the goal isn’t to become endlessly optimized, healed, independent humans, but people capable of being fully ourselves while remaining deeply connected to one another?
I’ve spent more than 20 years in psychology, including 15 years as a clinical psychologist and thousands of conversations with people navigating anxiety, trauma, relationships, leadership, grief, success, reinvention, and the complicated business of being human.
I don’t believe every struggle is a disorder, every uncomfortable emotion needs regulating, or every meaningful part of being human can be reduced to a diagnosis, protocol, or nervous-system explanation.
I am interested in what helps us become more human: able to love, belong, disagree, grieve, delight, depend on one another, maintain our agency, and stay open to loving this complicated, beautiful life.
Why they’re speaking The shared human need that draws me most is belonging: the need to know there is a place for us, that we matter to one another, and that we don’t have to become less ourselves in order to stay connected.
After more than 20 years in psychology, I’ve become fascinated by the tension between belonging and sovereignty. We need other people and many of the strategies we learn to preserve connection require us to hide, perform, please, protect, withdraw, or abandon parts of ourselves.
I want to open the practical possibility that we can learn another way.
We can understand the protective patterns that shape how we relate, stay present when difference or discomfort arises, disagree without dehumanizing, ask for help without surrendering our agency, and remain connected without leaving ourselves behind.
Maybe the work isn’t learning how to need each other less, it's in learning how to need each other well.

Sheyenne Kreamer Co-Founder · The Unity for Wellness and Peace System
About I have spent the last 25 years developing a system to "manufacture peace" in our communities. With 11 years in corporate leading and facilitating problem-solving teams, over 30 years in career transition services and an array of products and services to improve health, I am passionate about helping people heal their body, mind and spirit so they can live in their God-given purpose and potential.
Experience Multiple layoffs forced me into learning about entrepreneurship - especially consulting and direct sales. Having lost several friends to suicide, and family members that died too early, I've spent 40 years studying holistic health and helping people with nutrition, trauma release and spiritual alignment. After experiencing foreclosure and financial collapse, my husband ran for governor of North Carolina. The experience brought us face to face with political corruption, and launched us into creating the Unity for Wellness and Peace System. We are currently prototyping a multigenerational healing village to help single moms and women escaping abuse to get a fresh start.
Why they’re speaking I live with a philosophy that we all were born with a piece of a super-puzzle. If we were all building our piece of the puzzle, and seeking those with pieces that interlock with ours, we would be living in a world with ultimate health, wealth and peace for all. The fact that we don't see as much of these things as we want, means too many people are sitting on their puzzle piece. I want to inspire people to recognize that we, collectively, are the miracle we're waiting for. Stop waiting for others to solve our problems and let's get busy solving them! It's about claiming our spiritual connection!

No conversationstands alone. The questions we bring to one part of life reach into the others.
01 Sovereignty Choose how you live, and guard your neighbour’s right to do the same.
02 Belonging The relationships that let us speak plainly, help each other, and feel less alone.
03 Vitality Care for your body, mind and spirit: the energy everything else runs on.
