Practical Training for Native Wellness Leaders
RUN THE FACILITY.STRENGTHEN THE PROGRAMS.MOVE YOUR PEOPLE FORWARD.
For anyone responsible for the success of a tribal wellness facility, its programs, or its people.
The Native Wellness Leadership Conference gives you practical tools to strengthen operations, improve programming, develop your team, and measure what matters. You'll work through the Native Fitness Method alongside leaders who understand the work—and leave with clearer priorities and a 30-Day Wellness Activation Plan built for your community.

The People Who Bring Oahu To Life.
Our cultural ambassador and island experience guide don't just present—they welcome you, teach you, and make Hawaiʻi feel like home.
THE AGENDA
Four Unforgettable Days.
Three full conference days plus an optional early-arrival day. Explore the complete schedule of leadership sessions, shared experiences, movement, connection, and Leadership Adventures.
Every Day Is An Adventure
Learn Together. Move Together. Lead Together.
Leadership Adventures are built into each day — explore Oahu, take on new challenges, and create lasting memories alongside other Native wellness leaders.
Leadership Adventure #1
Koko Head Challenge
Experience one of Oahu's most iconic hikes. Challenge yourself. Encourage one another. Return before sunset.
Leadership Adventure #2
The Secret Adventure
OJ's favorite spot on Oahu — crystal waters, island wildlife, and a few surprises along the way. You'll have to come to find out.
Leadership Adventure #3
Sunrise Beach Workout
Move your body. Watch the sunrise. Start the final day together.
The best leadership conversations don't happen sitting around a conference room table. They happen climbing mountains, walking beaches, moving together, and watching Hawaiian sunsets.
Connections That Last Beyond The Conference.
