2026 Conference Presenters and Panelists
Opening Ceremony/ Keynote
Mary Jo Hoven, Cynthia Pierro, and Glen Weimer
We begin by gathering in sacred space as Mary Jo Hoven welcomes us into ceremony, gently weaving our community together through breath and sound. This is an invitation to center, ground, and arrive — fully present in body, heart, and spirit.
Once centered and grounded, Cynthia Pierro guides us into movement with Polarity Yoga and expressive embodiment practices. Through the elements, we awaken freedom in body, mind, and spirit, aligning with the flow of life within and around us.
From this place of connection, Glen Weimer invites us to Enter the Dance and explore our ancestral roots and energetic lineages. Through guided experience, we honor where we come from while opening to the deeper mystery of Polarity within — the universe of our own becoming.
