In this eye-opening talk, Alexi Bracey—uncovers the invisible dangers lurking in your everyday household items. From plastic cutting boards and non-stick cookware to flame-retardant fabrics, synthetic shampoos, and air-freshening sprays, our homes are filled with microplastics and chemicals that can disrupt hormones, weaken immunity, and contribute to serious illness. Drawing from decades of experience in plant-based living, holistic healing, and environmental wellness, Alexi guides audiences through a practical and empowering exploration of what’s really in your kitchen, closet, and cupboard. You’ll learn simple, affordable swaps to reduce your toxic load and create a healthier home environment. With warmth, humour, and clarity, Alexi offers science-backed insights and real-world solutions to help you take control of your health. Whether you're a health-conscious consumer or someone facing illness, this talk will inspire you to rethink your space and protect your well-being—starting today.

At the Summer Summit, green living expert and organic farmer Amy Todisco will share her powerful journey—from early experiences with healthy eating to becoming a national advocate for non-toxic living. She explores the challenges and triumphs of running Waitsfield's first organic farm with her husband Dave, offering insights into weed management, rising input costs, and the joys of pick-your-own produce. Amy also highlights her family's five-generation maple syrup operation and raised concerns about the aging farmer population and the environmental shifts affecting sap quality. The conversation will wrap with practical summer health tips—like choosing mineral-based sunscreens, using essential oil insect repellents, and ditching plastics to avoid ingesting microplastics. Amy encourages attendees to grow their own food and offers a free 5-Step Guide to reducing toxins. Participants are invited to visit her website for more resources, including a 5 Step guide to Ditch Everyday Toxins.

I explore the idea that life is a mutual exchange of gifts and abundance, asserting that the Earth actively supports our well-being if we remain humble and open. Through practical summer examples like composting and the resilient dandelion, I symbolize human adaptability and interconnectedness within the biosphere. Embracing this supportive relationship with the Earth fosters gratitude, sustainability, and personal growth, ultimately guiding us toward living more purposefully and harmoniously.

With practical tools, actionable strategies, and empowering insights, this session will help you navigate the emotional and physical challenges of midlife, turning them into opportunities for personal growth and transformation.

In this engaging and heart-centered conversation, I’ll share how families can use nature journaling as a simple, joyful, and powerful tool to connect with the natural world—and with each other. Using recycled materials and guided sensory prompts, children and adults alike can create their own journals and explore the outdoors with fresh eyes.

We’ll explore how journaling in nature supports emotional regulation, creativity, and mindfulness, while also deepening ecological awareness. I’ll walk through easy-to-implement activities like “Sound Sketches,” “Color Hunts,” and “Texture Mapping,” and offer tips for making this a sustainable summer ritual for families.
