Starting at $499The Unconference Edition
What to ExpectThe conference where everyone is a speaker. The Unconference Edition in Sonoma is designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself, in the company of likeminded healthcare leaders, innovators, and investors alongside the infamous Belos Cavalos horses and goats.
❋ Intentional StructureThe day moves from grounding moments with horses to collaborative discussions. Enough shape to feel purposeful, enough space to think deeply and breathe.
❋ Collaborative EnergyEveryone in the room is an expert in their own right. You’ll learn as much from the group as from any session. And we hope new ideas and collaborations will continue!
❋ Expert FacilitationLed by experienced guides who know how to hold space: enough structure to keep momentum, enough restraint to let the group flow.
❋ A Supportive SpaceAn intimate group at Belos Cavalos in Sonoma. Built for candor, not for performance.

Glasha Marcon
Glasha is a Bay Area native who has called Oakland home for the past 9 years. She's a VP of Product and Programs at HealthBegins, where she works on the conditions — housing, food, safety, connection — that shape the health of neighborhoods. As a first-gen American, former Medicaid member, and former frontline worker, she brings lived experience to that work, and she's grown increasingly convinced that hyper-local is where real change happens. A trained permaculture designer, she sees healthy communities the way she sees healthy ecosystems: built from the ground up. Outside of work, you'll find her at farmers markets or organizing hyperlocal resilience efforts right in her own neighborhood.

Who Attends?
We'll brag on ourselves just a little: our first three events, particularly last year's Fall Gathering, have been nothing short of spectacular. We strive to gather the most honest, intentional, purpose-driven leaders from across a diverse group of healthcare stakeholders: payers, providers, policy leaders, health systems, technology leaders, funders, and innovators. See past events for speaker lists. And rest assured- if you resonate with this, you'll be among your people.
