Maha Symposium 2026
Maha Symposium INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE & DENTISTRY
29th and 30th
of May
2026
Ljubljana Castle, Slovenia,
Europe
Experience Ljubljana Castle
After the resounding success of the MAHA Symposium 2024, we return in 2026 to the historic Ljubljana Castle — this time in the larger and more impressive Estates Hall.
The program opens with a MAHA Welcome Reception & Clinic Tour on Thursday, May 28, followed by two full days of lectures, exchange, and collaboration on Friday and Saturday, May 29–30, 2026.
A highlight of the gathering will be Friday night, when the Slovenian band Josip Brass gives a private concert in the lecture hall, creating an atmosphere of inspiration and community.
Experience Ljubljana Castle. Explore new horizons at the MAHA Symposium on Integrative Medicine & Dentistry. Designed for integrative, functional, orthomolecular, and biological medical professionals and dentists, the symposium brings together international experts to share knowledge, discuss clinical strategies, and shape the future of patient care. Topics will include the integration of Western medicine, biological approaches, Ayurveda, and more — creating a unique platform for innovation, dialogue, and collaboration.
Tickets include all food and drinks throughout the event, ensuring time and space for meaningful exchange.
The MAHA Symposium is a non-profit project — created to support the medical community and dedicated to spreading education, knowledge, and awareness in the field of integrative medicine and dentistry.
Funicular Railway tickets to and from the castle are included: the modern and unobtrusively designed funicular, which complements the traditional cultural identity of the Ljubljana Castle, is popular with both domestic and foreign visitors. It is particularly attractive during fine weather, when it offers spectacular views of the city, and it is indispensable as a fast and comfortable connection with the old town centre. In seeking to preserve the natural environment in the wider area of the Castle Hill, the funicular is the right choice, while at the same time being an exciting experience with which to begin your visit to the castle.
Good live music is always a luxurious experience — but when the powerful sound of Josip Brass fills the historic Estates Hall of Ljubljana Castle, it becomes truly unforgettable. In this private concert, created exclusively for the MAHA Symposium, music and community come together in a unique atmosphere. Surrounded by the castle’s centuries-old walls, the energy of the band transforms the lecture hall into a vibrant stage — a celebration that lingers long after the evening ends.” https://rokfish.wixsite.com/josip-brass
Food & Drink: Indulge in healthy, vegan coffee breaks and a delightful dinner, included in your ticket. Enjoy the perfect blend of taste and well-being.

Sebastjan Perko, phD, DMD
Expert in Biological Dentistry, Oral Surgery and Biological Medicine
From an early age, I developed a strong affinity for nature and a deep respect for the well-being of living organisms. These values, including the importance of clean water, a healthy environment, and the sanctity of life, have been integral to my character, requiring no persuasion or elaborate reasoning. Even during my high school years, I was determined to pursue a career in caring for people and their physical health.
Over the years, my experiences have exposed me to diverse cultural and medical perspectives, while active participation in conferences has broadened my scientific insights beyond local boundaries. Valuing personal health and well-being greatly, I have actively contributed to the development of the holistic dentistry concept at the Maha Clinic since 2013. This endeavor aligns with my enduring childhood inclinations and complements the comprehensive approach of the Maha Center and the nutritional focus of Maha Bistro, all collectively dedicated to fostering a healthy future for individuals.
My academic journey started at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana, complemented by in-depth research on dental materials during my doctoral work at the International Postgraduate School of the Jožef Stefan Institute. This research culminated in the development of a groundbreaking bioactive mixture, certified and introduced to the dental profession just before the global pandemic. Through these experiences and my exposure to traditional medical systems, I have adeptly combined traditional and modern approaches to optimize health outcomes.
I am grateful for the support of my mentors and colleagues, as well as the contributions of our international partners, notably in Switzerland, whose long-standing commitment to similar healthcare practices serves as a continual source of inspiration and collaboration.

Erik Božič
Project Manager and Business Organizer
As a former professional chef with a rich international career, I gradually transitioned away from the hospitality industry during the pandemic year of 2020 and found myself drawn to financial matters and business organization. I have an educational background in philosophy and economics, which complements my wide range of competencies and knowledge gained through various work and entrepreneurial experiences. I value humility, which is why I constantly engage in self-education and strive to broaden my horizons. The guiding principles of my career are sustainability and conscious decision-making, which I aim to apply to all aspects of my life.
My main hobbies include nature walks, sports activities, and exploring and analyzing financial markets. I joined Maha Clinic as a project manager and business organizer. I also oversee Bistro Maha, where I act as a kitchen mentor and consultant.
Bojan Vidniš, DMD
Expert in Biological Dentistry
“My interest in how the human body works dates back to my early childhood when I eagerly read all popular science magazines and encyclopedias that came my way. This path led me to a science-oriented high school in Maribor and then to the study of dental medicine at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana.
I have always strived to seek the essence of everything, and during my studies, I systematically explored various worldviews through psychology and philosophy. This quest gradually led me through many periods of human thought, providing me with many answers but also numerous new questions. Finally, this search led me to yoga and Ayurveda, the magnificent Indian treasures of wisdom and knowledge about life.
Over 10 years ago, I encountered the authentic and traditional Indian yoga of the Bihar School of Yoga, which is among the most respected yoga schools in the world. Here, I met my teacher of yoga science and Ayurvedic doctor, Swami Vishwashakti Saraswati. Under her guidance and mentorship, I completed initial yoga courses, integral yoga, prana vidya, chakra shuddhi, and kriya yoga. I also attended a two-and-a-half-year education for Ayurvedic and marma therapists at the Tara Yoga Center.
While working in Oral Medicine, where I particularly focus on holistic dentistry and the connection between oral health and the whole body, the desire to merge knowledge from the field of traditional Indian medicine with modern medical discoveries gradually formed within me. With an invitation from colleague Sebastjan Perko, I happily began collaborating with the integrative Maha Clinic. Today, I continue to enhance my knowledge with the latest findings in contemporary nutrition, with a special emphasis on plant-based diets, through education in integrative medicine under the guidance of Dr. Thomas Rau from the Paracelsus Clinic in Switzerland, and through further development in dark-field microscopy, which represents a fundamental diagnostic tool of Biological Medicine.”
Marko Berkopec, DMD
Expert in Oral Surgery
“I spent my childhood in the pleasant environment of Vavta vas near the Krka River. Even as a child, I was interested in technology, model aviation, and music. I demonstrated my manual skills by playing classical guitar and later baritone. After completing high school in Novo mesto, I decided to study dental medicine at the Faculty of Medicine. I successfully completed my studies in 2007, and after completing my internship and professional examination, I was employed at the Health Center Ljubljana – Bežigrad, where I briefly held the position of the head of adult dentistry. I was also a regular member of professional commissions. Throughout, I strived for progress and development, regularly attending seminars, congresses, and professional workshops at home and abroad. However, within the public dental healthcare system, I couldn’t provide patients with everything that modern dentistry has to offer.
I gladly accepted the invitation from Dr. Perko and Dr. Bele to join the team in May 2016. In this pleasant environment, surrounded by like-minded people, I can finally realize my professional ambitions and offer patients comprehensive care at the highest level.
Simon Bele, DMD
Expert in General Biological Dentistry
From a young age, I showed signs of becoming a dentist. As a child, to the delight of my grandfather, I drilled quite a few holes in the facade of my grandparents’ house in Straža near Novo mesto. That was my first encounter with drilling. Of course, I didn’t patch up those holes; I learned how to do that much later. Since my father is a construction worker, and I have always been interested in buildings of all kinds, I initially considered becoming an architect in primary school. However, during my high school years, an extraordinary motorcyclist named Džuro came into my life, who had a drilling license. Thanks to him, I began contemplating a career as a dentist.
Thus, I became a first-year student at the Faculty of Medicine in Ljubljana, studying dental medicine. Seven years later, as a young dentist, I was employed at the Health Center Novo mesto, where despite my knowledge and great desire, I didn’t enjoy it much since I often had to say “no” to patients. Therefore, I soon opened my private practice. Several years later, during further education, I met Sebastjan Perko, my college mate. This chance encounter brought about the idea of expanding the concept of the Maha Clinic to Dolenjska, and there was no doubt about my future professional path, as the Maha Clinic is a team of exceptional individuals, experts who enjoy their profession, or rather, their mission. Here, we practice true and genuine dentistry that I have been seeking for eight years.”
Jure Vraničar, ba. pth.
Analytical psychology trainee and IAAP router
I am a trainee in analytical psychotherapy (Jungian psychotherapy), an IIAP router, and a master’s student in psychotherapeutic sciences. I am a member of the Slovenian Association for Analytical Psychology (SZAP), the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP), and actively participate as a member of the board in the Mindfulness Development Association.
I work with individuals and provide in-depth psychotherapy based on the principles of Jungian analysis. The journey into the depths of the psyche can increase self-awareness, help find true answers to life-changing questions, and lead to a more fulfilling life. A significant part of my work involves men and women who feel stuck in their lives or are struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, burnout, mental disorders, or challenges in their relationships.
Jungian psychotherapy is based on the idea that the unconscious is our largest and most powerful psychophysical element, with which we learn to establish a collaborative relationship. By integrating conscious and unconscious elements of our psyche, we reduce psychological suffering and problems and become creatively unique.
In addition to the process of integrating conscious and unconscious parts of the mind in Jungian psychotherapy, I also explore our relationship with nature and how reconnecting with nature can help us rediscover a sense of wholeness within ourselves. Jung called this archetype of wholeness the Self.
In the therapeutic process, I ensure professionalism, confidentiality, and anonymity in accordance with the Personal Data Protection Act. I am committed to the ethical code of the Slovenian Chamber of Psychotherapists (SKZP) and the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP).
I continuously invest in my own process of self-discovery and growth through Jungian psychoanalysis. I also engage in additional education to deepen my understanding of Jungian psychology, sandplay therapy, psychedelic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and spirituality.
Vaidya Ajil Kunhumbidukka Veettil
Ayu. med. spec., CBT, MSc in Yoga Science, RAV (General Medicine)
I landed in Slovenia for the first time in 2017. I started practicing Ayurveda in the coastal region, on the beautiful coast of Slovenia, in Portorož. There I got the opportunity to meet people from different countries, such as Slovenia, Italy and Germany. The main challenges I faced during my career were understanding people’s lives like food habits, life routine, daily routine, seasonal routine, work culture, psychology and climate change. Because Ayurvedic medicine attaches great importance to these factors for a comprehensive analysis of a person and holistic treatment. It was a great opportunity to learn about different cultures and people and to use Ayurvedic medicine to achieve the best results. During my seven-year journey of Ayurvedic practice in Slovenia, I encountered various medical conditions that required a holistic therapeutic approach.
I learned Nadi Pareeksha (pulse diagnosis method), one of the oldest and traditional methods of examination in Ayurveda, from my guru (teacher) Dr. Jayant Yeshwant Deopujari of Nagpur, India. I use this holistic method of examination to understand a person physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically.
I completed Ayurvedic Medicine from Kannur University and Post Graduate Diploma and MSc in Yoga Science from Tamil Nadu State University. I received a National Fellowship from RAV, Indian Ministry of AYUSH, in Kayachikitsi (General Medicine). I have been living and practicing Ayurveda in Slovenia for the last seven years.
Biju Muthu
Ayurveda therapist
I am an Ayurvedic therapist with 15 years of experience and I am thrilled to be a part of Maha Clinic. I have worked in India and Europe at various Ayurvedic centers with highly experienced doctors, continuously expanding my knowledge of Ayurvedic therapeutic practices.
I am well-versed in all Ayurvedic Panchakarma therapies (Ayurvedic detox therapy), Kerala Ayurvedic massages, including head, face, neck, back, and foot massages. In addition to Ayurvedic massages, I perform deep tissue massages, fruit massages, reflexology, facial therapies, and cupping therapy. It brings me great joy to collaborate with Maha Clinic and share my knowledge of Ayurveda, which contributes to your well-being.
Sara Lepenik
Oral Hygienist
I come from Mengše, where I grew up in a family with three children. I spent most of my early childhood with my grandmother, who filled my life with daily joy, music, and the desire to develop myself. I always aspired to become a professional violinist, but as I matured, I realized that playing the violin would remain one of my hobbies.
My path led me to dentistry. Enrolling in the study program of oral hygiene was one of the best decisions in my life, as I found a profession that truly brings me joy. During my studies, I started working at Maha Clinic, which gave me the opportunity to familiarize myself with various branches of dentistry. I began working at Dentoteka, where I gained significant experience with oral hygiene tools, which now greatly aids me in my work. The opportunity to share my knowledge with people in daily practice is the greatest wealth that enriches me day by day. Proper oral hygiene is a crucial element in dentistry, and my mission is to teach each individual the correct practices.
Maha Clinic motivates me to pursue new knowledge, and I look forward to all the upcoming challenges.
Nataša Velše
Assistant
Since childhood, books have been my great companions, which is why I would like to paraphrase our great poet Tone Pavček, who said that the world is beautiful if you give something to someone and if you treat people with kindness. Unconsciously, Pavček’s words have accompanied me since my early days when I was happiest in the company of smiling people. It has always been a great satisfaction for me to bring a smile to people’s faces, to help them, and to make the world a better place.
All of this led me to the decision to enroll in the Secondary Health School in Novo Mesto. New knowledge and my first work experiences confirmed that I made the right choice. After completing high school, I found employment at the Nursing Home for the Elderly in Novo Mesto, where I worked for several years. I am grateful for those years as they provided me with a wealth of knowledge in the field of healthcare and enriched me personally. Genuine human relationships, kind words, and teamwork are essential for us as human beings. When we nurture these foundations with professionalism, we can succeed as employees.
And my “dental journey”? Taking care of a healthy smile is essential for everyone. I am almost obsessed with it myself, and when I recently underwent orthodontic treatment as a patient, the world of dentistry attracted me even more. An opportunity to work at Maha Clinic presented itself to me. I had the chance to meet Dr. Simona Bele, as I was her patient years ago, where she demonstrated her professionalism and empathy. I immediately seized the opportunity and became part of the Maha Clinic team as a dental assistant.
I am grateful to be part of such a professional team that allows me to enhance my knowledge while maintaining personal contact with patients. Lifelong learning is inherent to human beings, and I am already looking forward to new knowledge and experiences at Maha Clinic.
Rok Papež
Assistant
I come from Bela krajina, more precisely from Črnomelj. Since I was a child, I have had a technical mindset and have been a lover of sunsets and beautiful mountains.
After completing primary school, I wanted to work with people, so I continued my education in Novo mesto, where I graduated from secondary health school in 2017 and obtained the title of healthcare technician. In the desire for further education and a more technical profession, I enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences, specializing in laboratory dental prosthetics, and became fascinated with the work performed by prosthetists.
In 2021, I joined Maha Clinic as a student and immediately became enthusiastic about their vision and way of working. After 2 years of working as a student, I also became employed, and now we form a team that anyone would undoubtedly desire to be a part of.

I am a student of naturopathy, graduate administrative organizer, with joy in life and new challenges. The nine-year experience of living in Spain brought me new perspectives and energy that marked me forever. I live with the principle of lightness and intuition, which in my free time also takes me to the clouds with my second (skydiving) family.

Integrative Oncology
What Does the Term Integrative Oncology Mean?
Integrative means inclusive, forming a whole from different parts or fields. An integrative approach in medicine and oncology is holistic,incorporating approaches and methods from both classical medicine and complementary (formerly known as alternative) methods.
All this is aimed at providing support to the diseased individual, who is at the center of integrative care. Classical medicine has its place in the treatment of cancer. With its methods, such as surgical procedures, chemotherapy, and radiation, it has helped many people either overcome the disease or alleviate the burden and difficulties caused by it. Unfortunately, classical medicine does not provide answers and does not address areas that are inherent and important to every person, such as diet, sleep patterns, relationships in which an individual operates, work environment, connection with one’s own body and emotions, and so on. It is precisely these areas that are often the essential breeding ground where disease arises. Therefore, it is beneficial to deal not only with the consequences of a lifestyle but also to look into the core of the emergence of an illness. Classical medicine extinguishes the fire, while integrative medicine, in addition to extinguishing the fire, recognizes and removes all the factors that led to the fire.
Comprehensive care focuses not only on the disease that a person has but on the person as a physical, spiritual, and energetic being. As Sir William Osler stated at the beginning of the century, “A good physician treats the disease, a great physician treats the person who has the disease.”
A person who has fallen ill with cancer certainly deserves holistic care. Cancer is a disease that still carries with it a tinge of taboo and a death sentence. However, by listening, understanding, and getting to know the entire human being, we can identify which processes contributed to the emergence of this disease. This way, we can help stop or even reverse the processes that drive the cancer disease.
Treatment of the Physical Body
Nutritional Counseling, Support, and Laboratory Results
We are what we eat. If we consume high-quality, balanced food, we feel accordingly. It is important what, how much, and when we introduce substances into our body. Based on your current diet, we will recommend changes in meal composition if needed.
As part of a holistic approach, we will examine your levels of essential minerals, vitamins, the state of your gut flora, heavy metal burden, hormonal balance, etc., depending on your issues. All laboratory tests are conducted in collaboration with an integrative laboratory in Germany.
Upon receiving the results, we will discuss which diet regimen and dietary supplements would be advisable in your case to support your body in the healing process.
Immune System Support
The immune system is the body’s first line of defense against foreign invaders, which can include viruses, bacteria, parasites, or tumor cells.
Each of us has in every moment circulating tumor cells in the body. However, most of these are recognized and destroyed by our immune system, preventing the development of clinically visible disease. When the immune system is weak, ineffective, or too many immune cells are ‘occupied’ elsewhere (e.g., immune reactions to food irritants, vaccines, chronic inflammatory processes in the teeth), cancer cells have every opportunity to grow and multiply unnoticed. Therefore, an effective immune system is the primary mechanism by which we can limit and reduce cancer.
Classical medicine increasingly recognizes the role of the immune system, leading to the use of more drugs that stimulate immune cells (immunotherapy, which is expanding in areas of lung, kidney cancer, melanoma, etc.). Integrative oncology bases its practices on studies, similar to classical medicine, where guidelines for treating specific cancers are set or modified based on studies. In integrative oncology,
natural substances are often central, such as curcumin, high doses of vitamin C, white mistletoe, boswellia, resveratrol, GC-MAF, to name a few. Research is also being conducted on cancer and other substances like dichloroacetate and salinomycin.
Ozone Therapy
Ozone (O3) is a colorless gas composed of three oxygen atoms. It can be administered rectally or intravenously, with the latter being recommended for cancer diseases. Cancer cells thrive in low-oxygen environments, so higher oxygen concentrations affect the cell’s metabolism, destabilize it, and lead to cell death (apoptosis). Even during classical chemotherapy treatment, it supports the body and helps reduce side effects of chemotherapy.
Ionic Induction Therapy (PAPIMI)
The device uses ionic potential to affect the charge on the cell membrane, crucial for the transfer of substances in and out of the cell. A healthy cell membrane is a prerequisite for the cell’s processes to function harmoniously, as it allows the cell to receive all necessary substances and expel harmful waste. PAPIMI supports these processes. The device is widely used in rehabilitation medicine to speed up the healing of fractures and injuries. Recent studies highlight the importance of PAPIMI for symptoms of long COVID. Its use also improves blood circulation, resulting in better oxygen supply to cells.
Hyperthermia - Local and Systemic
Hyperthermia involves elevated temperature, either locally at the tumor site or systemically, where the entire body is heated to 39-41°C and maintained at this temperature for a certain period. It is particularly recommended during classical treatment as it improves blood flow, enhancing drug delivery to the affected area. Classical medicine primarily uses hyperthermia locally or regionally (HIPEC,
intracavitary, limb perfusion, etc.).(https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanonc/article/PIIS1470-2045(02)00818-5/abstract, https://f.oaes.cc/xmlpdf/3a9b9e2a-7270-4e98-92a4-841069ff3d9c/2272.pdf
) Systemic hyperthermia not only improves blood flow but also activates the immune system, similar to the fever response during an infection.
Treatment of the Energetic Body
Bioresonance – Based on the fact that every body, organ, cell, and substance has its own frequency (vibration). The goal of the method is to transmit a healing impulse to the body, supporting health and healing.
Reiki – This type of therapy involves transferring cosmic healing energy through a channel, which is the therapist, to the patient or individual with a specific problem.
Tai Chi and Qi Gong – Tai Chi focuses on developing a sense of energy through movements, while Qi Gong focuses more on the sensation of each movement. Both techniques are relaxing, improving flexibility and balance.
Treatment of the Spiritual/Emotional Body
Emotions cannot be separated from the physical body. Increasing research shows that unrecognized, repressed emotions influence disease development. This is called psycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology (PNEI), with Dr. Gabor Mate being a representative of this developing branch of medicine. It explores the connection between the nervous and immune systems and the impact of emotions on individual health.
The fact is that today we are all prisoners of our thoughts and minds.Think about the last time you were without thoughts, just feeling your body? The essence of the techniques listed below is to bring awareness from thinking to feeling. When we feel, we cannot think. Through feeling, we can also connect with our traumas, memories, and
everything we had to suppress as a child to survive. Today, as adults, these defense mechanisms no longer serve us. On the contrary, they represent a cage that unconsciously suffocates and limits us from living to our highest potential. At the same time, they prevent us from awakening the inner wisdom and natural healing ability of the body.
Mindfulness – Teaches us to be present in the moment.
Meditation – Calming the mind and being fully aware.
Hypnosis – Medical hypnosis is an excellent way to deal with unrecognized emotions, process, and integrate them. By relaxing the body, attention is directed towards experiencing feelings. With a calm mind, the doors of the subconscious open, providing an opportunity for traumas, memories, or inappropriate behavior patterns to surface and be changed. Hypnosis is also extremely effective in managing side effects of treatment (nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, anxiety, insomnia, etc.). In the hands of a trained therapist, hypnosis is a process with no adverse effects. Source
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – A therapeutic approach that seeks to uncover the connection between thinking, emotions, and behavior.
Yoga – Many report feeling calmer and coping better with the disease and side effects of treatment while practicing yoga. Source
