Third Annual Two- Eyed Seeing Conference 

Our inspiration for this annual conference comes from Albert Marshall, a M’iqmak elder who popularized the term two-eyed seeing, or etuaptmumk, in his language. Two-eyed seeing establishes the equal validity of indigenous ways of knowing with contemporary scientific ways of knowing. It is a generous concept that recognizes the value of understanding these various paradigms and acknowledging that they can co-exist, and be applied, in integrative ways.

In this year's conference, we explore the application of the concept of Two-Eyed Seeing in healthcare through the work of our presenters. We are excited to bring together expert speakers from around the globe with deep knowledge to share in Ayurveda, Osteopathy, Indigenous mental health practices, Curanderismo, Indigenous birthing practices, and much more. Please see our full schedule below. 

Our conference will take place live - both virtually and in person - in Maine, USA. For those joining us in person, the event space in Maine will open at 7:30 AM daily. For those joining virtually, the Zoom meeting will start at 8 AM each day. We will end at 5 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 4PM on Sunday. All presentations will be recorded for later viewing by attendees. All attendees will receive free access to all recorded presentations for one month following the conference.
