*Selected artists are responsible for their own travel expenses but will have the opportunity to exhibit, promote, and sell their work at this public event. While this is a voluntary opportunity, we encourage artists to seek sponsorships from individuals or organizations that support our mission to reduce the dose of adversity through the arts.
We are Adverse Childhood Experiences Matter, or ACEs Matter for short.
We educate the general population on ACEs and why ACEs Matter.
First, traumatic childhood events or ACEs dysregulate the developing nervous system and nervous system regulation is everyone's business.
ACEs need to be addressed before people can progress.
Research says starting the conversation and showing people the antidote could reduce exposure to ACEs.
Our summit aims to introduce attendees to healthy outlets and role models who have successfully used writing, reading, art, or physical activities to express their needs and emotions in healthy ways.
You are the antidote
Overview: A SoulUtioN Summit is a transformative three-day series of events where the art of chemistry meets modern science in addressing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Domestic Violence.
This summit series uniquely integrates spiritual, biological, and the eight elements of well-being with modern psychological insights to promote deep healing and awareness. This summit highlights the power of art as a medium for healing, transformation, and community awareness.
Our time together aims to shed light on how our body’s chemistry and transformations can drive personal and community growth.
Call for Participation:
We invite artists whose work reflects hope, resilience, personal growth, emotional intelligence, social justice, and overcoming adversity. We highly value artists with lived experience who use their creativity as a tool for advocacy and healing.
Selected artists will be responsible for their own travel expenses but will have the opportunity to exhibit, promote, and sell their work at this public event.
