Holistic Health Summit

Entrepreneurship is a powerful pathway to economic mobility—but true success requires investment in both the business and the individual. When entrepreneurs have access to resources that support their mental, physical, and emotional well-being, their businesses are more likely to thrive. Holistic support not only strengthens business sustainability but also helps reduce economic disparities and fuels long-term community growth.

The Holistic Health Summit is an immersive, day-long event focused on nurturing the mind, body, and business of the Black community. Through wellness experiences, expert-led panels, and holistic resources, the summit will empower attendees to prioritize their health as part of their journey.

This event is proudly designed, led, and powered by graduates of the MORTAR alumni network, showcasing the vibrant talent and community impact of Black entrepreneurs committed to holistic wellness and economic sustainability.
