Healing Arts Management Helps Bring Dr. Mark Armstrong’s Inner Healer Summit Vision to Life

When Dr. Mark Armstrong shared his vision for the Inner Healer Summit, it immediately resonated with us at Healing Arts Management.

His goal was to bring together respected voices from across health, healing, wellness, nutrition, energy practices, creativity and conscious living for a shared experience in Atlanta. That vision has now grown into a diverse lineup that includes Beatrice Dixon, Tassili Maat, Dr. Serena Satcher, Dr. Stephen Tates, John Stringer and a broader community of practitioners, facilitators and artists.

The inaugural Inner Healer Summit takes place Saturday, September 26, 2026, at UUCA / Spiritual Living Center of Atlanta.

Presented by Ahimki Center for Wholeness and produced by Healing Arts Management, the summit will feature keynote presentations, conversations, panels, interactive breakout sessions, restorative experiences, live music and practical approaches attendees can continue exploring beyond the event.

A Partnership With a Personal Beginning

For Healing Arts Management co-founder John Stringer, producing the summit is deeply connected to his own history with Dr. Armstrong.

John first met Dr. Armstrong as a client. The healing journey that followed, which John has described as miraculous, was later chronicled in the award-winning international bestselling book The Inside Effects: How the Body Heals Itself, Volume 2.

That experience became the foundation of an ongoing relationship.

Years later, when Dr. Armstrong shared his vision for bringing together people doing meaningful work across different areas of health and healing, John and Kathy Gates Stringer immediately recognized both the potential of the gathering and the opportunity for Healing Arts Management to help bring it to life.

“My connection to Dr. Mark’s work is first-hand” said John Stringer. “I first came to him as a client, and the healing journey that followed became part of my story shared in the award-winning, international bestselling book, The Inside Effects, Vol. 2. When he shared his vision for bringing these voices and approaches together in one experience, Kathy and I both saw clearly that it was important for Healing Arts Management to help bring it to life.”

Dr. Mark Armstrong’s Vision

At the center of the summit is Dr. Armstrong’s desire to create a space where people can encounter different perspectives and practices related to health, healing and greater wholeness.

“My vision for the Inner Healer Summit was to bring together people doing meaningful work across different areas of health and healing and give our community an opportunity to experience those perspectives together,” said Armstrong. “Each person may connect with different practices, ideas and resources that support their own path toward greater wholeness.”

The summit also marks an opportunity to recognize more than three decades of work through Ahimki Center for Wholeness and its service to individuals seeking integrated approaches to well-being.
