VENUE

Mindd International Forum, Sydney, 2025

International Convention Centre, Darling Harbour.
May 1st – 3rd, 2025.

Mindd Foundation is excited to be hosting our 20th year anniversary celebration at the International Convention Center (ICC), Sydney! Located on Darling Harbour’s waterfront in the heart of Sydney, the ICC is ideally situated to help guests enjoy all that the city has to offer including convenient access to all of its most vibrant neighborhoods. 

Barangaroo, the emerging world-class dining and retail precinct, is only a 20-minute harbourside walk away.  Just beyond, The Rocks, a collection of colonial laneways and one of Sydney’s oldest neighborhoods, is home to Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art and is just across from the iconic Sydney Opera House. Galleries, theatres, and some of Australia’s best restaurants are all within walking distance from the venue, making it easy to explore Sydney’s vibrant cultural scene. For your most convenient access to the venue we recommend booking at either the Sofitel Sydney Darling Harbour (Preferential Code; BGPG) or the Park Royal Darling Harbour.

With world-class facilities and stunning views of the harbour, the ICC provides the perfect setting for an inspiring weekend of learning, connection, and celebration. Their world-class chef will be sourcing fresh, local, nutrient- rich food to support optimal learning for our delegates.

Join us as we mark two decades of advancing integrative healthcare and empowering communities with the knowledge and tools to support optimal health!

Presenter: Soulla Chamberlain

The Fundamentals of Robust Nutrition (from Vegan to Omnivore)

In this presentation Soulla will focus on the key principles of a nutrient-dense diet which provides a solid foundation for a life-long sustainable health. While health is multifactorial (and directly influenced by numerous lifestyle factors), nourishing your body with the anti-inflammatory, nutritionally-dense whole foods that we as a species have biologically evolved to eat is the cornerstone (as well as the fastest and easiest way!) of reclaiming and maintaining spectacular health with the most profound impact. Food is the most powerful medicine available to us to heal chronic illness and to remain vibrantly healthy. Soulla will detail the most nutrient dense foods and well as how to source and prepare them.

Learning Objectives in bullet point format
Attendees will learn the fundamentals of robust nutrition including a brief overview of:

  • The findings of Weston A Price
  • What are the most nutrient dense wholefoods
  • The importance of sourcing, processing and correct preparation of our foods
  • Debunking popular dietary myths  
  • The benefits of eating of an omnivorous traditional wholefoods diet versus modern industrialised diet

Health Coach

Soulla is a cooking instructor specialising in real & traditional foods, a health coach, an advocate and teacher of toxic free living, a public speaker, a wellness blogger, a lover of the sun and sea, and a mother! Her mission started with bringing nutrient-dense traditional wholefoods back to the modern table for vibrant health and longevity and has grown into empowering people to live a vibrantly healthy life in all areas of their life but focusing first and foremost with the food, personal care products, cleaning products and medicines that people choose to bring into their home. Soulla has been instrumental in pioneering a traditional wholefoods and holistic lifestyle movement across Australia and further afield over the past 2 decades. She is a passionate spokesperson on food as medicine and provides people with the tools and resources to swap out dietary and environmental toxins in their home in a positive and empowering way. Small changes, big impact. It was her first hand experience as a burnt out corporate lawyer and former ‘hard core’ vegetarian/vegan that was the catalyst to seek an alternative approach to heal herself and her family.
