Wise Traditions Conference: Weston A Price Foundation’s 26th Annual conference
Wise Traditions 2026: The Weston A. Price Foundation's 26th Annual Conference
Format: In person, with select talks live streamed. Recordings of the full conference are sold separately for those who cannot attend.
Where: Omni Shoreham Hotel, Washington, DC
When: Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18, 2026. Registration opens 7:00 AM Friday; the closing ceremony with Joel Salatin ends at 4:00 PM Sunday. An optional guided farm visit runs Monday, October 19.
Registration: Advance registration required. Farm-to-table meals are part of the conference experience, so register early to secure a meal package.
Cost: See the registration page for current pricing and member discounts.
The Weston A. Price Foundation's annual gathering brings together around 1,000 attendees, 45 speakers, and 70 exhibitors for three days on nutrient-dense food, traditional foodways, regenerative farming, and the healing arts. Meals are prepared from farm-sourced ingredients, which is half the reason people go.
The 2026 lineup includes Sally Fallon Morell's two-part Nourishing Traditions seminar, Natasha Campbell-McBride on regenerative farming the GAPS way, Chris Knobbe on seed oils, Dr. Bill Schindler, Catherine Austin Fitts, Thomas Massie on food sovereignty and the PRIME Act, and Joel Salatin closing the weekend. Sessions run in parallel tracks, so there are several talk options in every time slot.
A note from Ivy: This is the one I most wanted to attend in person this year. 2026 has been the year of butter around here, and a weekend of raw butter, bone broth, and Sally Fallon Morell felt like the right way to mark it. I could not make it happen this time, so I will be watching the live streams and picking up the recordings instead. If you go, tell me everything.

Charlotte Ecstatic Dance | DJ Ghost Pipe
Charlotte Ecstatic Dance | DJ Ghost Pipe
These dances are always so fun and a nice reset towards the end of the month. I always leave feeling more refreshed and grounded. It’s been hard to make my schedule work to include it these last few months, but hoping I can make it work this month for the final dance of 2025. Hope to see you there on the dancefloor!
From the Organizer:
I’m thrilled to announce my next collaboration with DJ GHOST PIPE on Saturday 11/22/25, as we come together to set intentions for 2025 through the transformative power of dance.
About GHOST PIPE:
Ghost Pipe is the tribal/plant medicine music project of holistic psychotherapist and professor of psychology and counseling, Connor Wills. Based in New Jersey (USA) and southern Colombia, Ghost Pipe's music aims to support others on their spiritual journey and inspire those who feel called to ceremonial plant medicine as a potential path to their healing.
Since 2024 Ghost Pipe has been honored to share lineups in Colombia, Nicaragua, and The United States with diverse acts including Ms. Lauryn Hill, DJ Drez, Papadosio, Savej, Zion Marley, M.C. Yogi, Consider The Source, Tauk, Lily Fangz, Skysia, CRSPY, Drumspyder, Couch, Toubab Krewe, Holy River, Natalie Brooke, Sicard Hollow, The Snozzberries, and more.
Ghost Pipe's hybrid DJ and live percussion performances are always 100% unplanned and improvised but tend to lean toward tribal music from South America and West Africa, held with great respect and reverence. Folks in attendance can expect to hear improvisational sampled spoken word wisdom from experts in trauma healing, spiritual leaders past and present, and indigenous healers from around the world. This is music as a modality for healing.
Dance Workshop with Kat Harmon We’re delighted to welcome back Kat Harmon, who will lead a special movement workshop from 6:45–7:10 PM. This optional session helps participants ease into the evening by moving through fears or anxieties about dancing in community, setting the stage for deeper connection and freedom of expression.

This is an opportunity to tap into your inner luminescence and express yourself through creative self-decoration. Body paint will be provided, and you’re welcome to bring additional items for adornment. Come dressed to express your wild, free, and unfiltered self!
Ceremonial Cacao We’ll offer 1 oz. ceremonial cacao for purchase starting at 6:30 PM, creating a heart-opening ritual to prepare for the evening’s journey.

What you'll find on this page
This is where I post events I think would be fun to go to, whether or not I can personally make it. Some are online, some are in person, and some are hybrid. Most are in North Carolina, Montana, or on the internet.
The kinds of things that end up here: holistic and health learning, herbalism, foraging, self-sufficiency and off-grid living, alternative building techniques, regenerative agriculture, workshops that teach a physical skill, groups and sacred spaces for biological women, yoga and movement workshops or festivals, high vibe festivals that are aligned with what I'm about, and pretty much any event the Weston A. Price Foundation endorses.
I do my best to keep this list of upcoming events up to date, but always check with the event organizer for the most current info before you book anything.
I am not being paid or compensated in any way for posting these events. I just want to hype up my community of likeminded peeps all around the world in the ways that I can from my studio here in Missoula, and share something constructive you can do with your free time.
