It was our founder, Dr. Jim Sensenig’s vision, to host a Vital Gathering where current scientific research is presented, then followed by Vitalistic clinical application of that research to naturopathic modalities. At this year’s Vital Gathering, our desire is to bring this vision to fruition. With a roster of some of the top researchers available, come and hear the latest scientific advances in the areas of Water, Food, and Energy. This will be followed by practical, Vitalistic approaches for the integration of this information into your daily practice given by our NMI Elders and accomplished instructors. We will also have a presentation on the latest research and advances in Homeopathy, and hands-on sessions for enrichment of your clinical practice.
