Conference Themes
At Kentwood Academy, our ethos goes beyond academia. We believe in nurturing the whole child, promoting resilience, creativity, and global awareness. Set against the backdrop of Kent’s natural beauty, our campus offers an environment where students are inspired daily, both by the lessons in the classroom and the serenity outside.


Keynote Speakers
Our distinguished speakers represent the leading edges of research, practice, and policy in traditional Asian medicine. Their presentations will set the tone for deeper discussions throughout the conference while inspiring new directions in research and practice.
Festival Installations
Visitors can explore digital pulse-taking installations that visualize ancient diagnostic techniques, engage with five-element music performances that demonstrate traditional healing cosmologies, and experience the intersection of art and medicine through contemporary interpretations of historical medical artifacts.
