In 2016, Dr. Sussanna Czeranko N.D. had a vision. An expert in the history of naturopathic medicine, evidenced by her published 12 volume series: The Hebert Collection, she dreamed of bringing the art and essence of Naturopathic Medicine back to the profession.
As our profession grows and evolves and there becomes an increased focus on evidence-based scientific
methods, genetic medicine, clinical trials, rigorous research-based methods, the heart of our medicine becomes threatened. Her vision was to have Saskatchewan Naturopathic Doctors come together to create a conference that was rooted in our foundations and traditions, yet still created plenty of space to embrace the emerging advances in naturopathic medicine.
Many of you will recall our first conference, held in Manitou, Saskatchewan in 2017. Home to a natural mineral lake, this idyllic setting provided us with the perfect backdrop to our first conference, and participants, speakers and sponsors all walked away feeling not only that they had received valuable clinical tools, but also that they had been on a healing retreat and had truly experienced the adage "Healer, Heal Thyself."
It is this essence that we have striven to weave into our conferences ever since. With this in mind, a new logo and tagline were created for Healing Skies Conferences. Depicted above, we see the tree and its long roots, with branches reaching skyward.
