Brooke Bridges

Brooke Bridges

Brooke Marie Bridges is a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, somatic CBT coach, vitalist herbalist, and author with Transatlantic Literary Agency. She is the founder of Unearthing Wellness and the creator of The Integrated Root™ — a Mind-Body-Earth framework built around a single premise: you can have all the insight in the world and still not know how to embody your life.

Her keynotes and workshops address the gap most wellness programming misses entirely — the space between understanding yourself and actually inhabiting yourself. Drawing on the neuroscience of the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, the emerging science of interoception, somatic CBT practice, and ancestral plant medicine traditions, she gives audiences not just new understanding but a genuinely different felt experience of themselves.

A former Nickelodeon child actress and SAG-AFTRA performer, Brooke spent her childhood learning to perform emotions professionally and her adult life learning the difference between performing wellness and actually embodying it. For four years she facilitated Uprooting Racism trainings with Soul Fire Farm. She has presented for Ellevate Network, Berkshire Community College, Berkshire County District Attorney's Office, Miss Porter's School, and more than 150 schools and organizations across North America.

Her signature keynote — From Awareness to Wellbeing: Why We Know More About Wellness Than Ever and Still Feel Burned Out — was described by Ellevate Network CEO Allyson McDonald as introducing concepts she had never heard framed that way before. Her six-workshop Changing the Response series and somatic DEI workshop Wired for Difference are available for organizational engagements.

Brooke presents virtually and in person across North America.

Chris Milliken


From the USA, Chris has lived in Chile, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand. Chef, winemaker, entrepreneur, and a lover of Web3 with a passion for impact. He founded PengWine in 2004 and built it across SE Asia for 18 years — and was building with blockchain before most people had heard the word NFT.

In 2017 he built a track and trace system putting a unique digital identity on every bottle — provenance, chain of custody, the name of the person who opened it, surfaced in seconds. Real-world NFT utility in a high-value physical market nearly a decade ago. Covid ended it. The conviction didn't.

What followed was High As Unicorn — from OG Rune on BTC to a Solana project with 1,111 hand-drawn Hauwee NFTs built around Education, Opportunity, and Community. Eighty-two consecutive weekly X Spaces without missing one.

Speaker at Memecon Singapore and Memecon Thailand. The same skill that made him a successful MC, author, and entrepreneur — making complex ideas land for real people.
