Fall Arrives In Conscious CT

September has been a busy month East of the River, opening with Taste! Organic Connecticut, new business open houses in Coventry and Tolland, many fall classes getting underway and concluding with the not to miss Unity Fair this weekend.

October promises to be busy too with many more classes and events scheduled and concluding with the Witches Masquerade Ball in Bolton on October 28.

Hope you've found our website helpful in locating events of interest to you and you are beginning to get a sense of the holistic community all around us. We update the calendar with new events regularly and will continue to add new features and sections each month. Check the Home page during the month as we'll highlight 'what's new' there.

Photo Gallery

This month we've added a new feature to the website - our photo gallery. First up in the gallery is an album of photos from Taste! Organic Connecticut. It was a beautiful day with a great turnout and we tried to capture the spirit in pictures.

We'll add albums of events as they occur and collections of other area activity during the year. Check back a week after the Unity Fair to review that event.

The gallery can be accessed from the Communication section of the website with new entries posted on the Home page.

Upcoming Community Events

Spirit, Mind and Body Holistic Health Fair - On Saturday, September 29 from 10-4 the Unity Church of Greater Hartford will hold its second holistic fair to be held at its church on Route 30 in South Windsor. There are over 60 tables and 24 workshops where you can meet area practitioners and learn more about a variety of modalities. One of the best ways to find a teacher or practitioner is to meet them or experience a short workshop. This is a wonderful opportunity to do that and see our community at its best. Look for Conscious CT at Table #14 near the entrance.

You can print a brochure with a list of all the exhibitors, workshops and times at Unity's website.

Fall Classes

Many classes are getting underway in the next few weeks including Tai Chi, Meditation, Wicca, EFT, Metaphysics, Reiki and Yoga. They take place in a variety of settings from community colleges and high schools to centers and churches. They are listed under ‘Classes & Schools' and ‘Energy Training.' The first dates of most classes are also in the Calendar. And also check the 'Groups' listings for support, meditation and study groups. There should be something for everyone - from single day training to multiple week study, to ongoing activities like yoga. You can get a lot of information from books, but you'll learn much more by meeting people and sharing experiences and ideas. It adds a whole other dimension to the journey.

Practitioners Celebrate Fifth Anniversary

Holistic health practitioners and friends meet the first Friday of each month at Charlie's in Vernon to network, socialize and support each other. In September we celebrated our 5 year anniversary of the gathering. Over the years we've followed the changing environment for holistic businesses, learned about each others' practices, exchanged ideas, encouraged and supported 3 Vernon Healthfests and 2 Unity fairs, and been the starting place of a number of business enterprises and partnerships. Ours was the first practitioner gathering of this type and the concept has spread to a number of other areas around Connecticut.
