Holistic Wellness Fair Coming Up

Labor Day weekend is very quiet as schools open and we transition from a Summer to a Fall schedule. But mark your calendar for Sunday, September 12 when there will be a Holisitc Wellness Fair as part of the Coventry Farmers' Market. The Fair is being organized by the Alliance For Holistic Living and is the only holistic health fair of any type taking place in our region of the state this year. If you've never been to the Coventry Farmers' Market this is your opportunity. Coventry is the largest Farmers' Market in the state and one of the best in New England.

The Market and Fair are open from 11-2. There will be 20 to 25 exhibitors with many practitioners offering free energy, massage, reflexology and vibrational mini-sessions. Other practioners will represent naturopathy, chiropractic, nutrition, personal training, shamanism, past life therapy and psychotherapy. There will be demonstrations of Tai Chi, gongs, Tibetan bowls, yoga, hooping and drumming. And, of course, you'll want to visit the vendors and farmers at the main market.

» Go to Coventry Farmers' Market website for directions.

Fall Events Now Online

The Fall issue of The Door Opener has been published and events taking place here added to our Calendar and Activity section. As it is each year things really pick up after Labor Day, the weekends will be full, and choices will be tough.

The cover of this issue of The Door Opener is by DAMON HELLANDBRAND, our Conscious CT Featured Artist from our May newsletter. For more on Damon and his art visit our Artists' Gallery.

Spirit Matters 5 Year Anniversary

Congratulations to Spirit Matters for providing the community with five years of classes, workshops and space for a variety of events, as well as providing a home for a variety of practitioners. The practices of psychotherapist co-owners CATHY EWING-RINKER and LISA BURCH have flourished as they have grown personally and expanded the types of holistic treatment they offer clients. We spend so much time there it sometimes feels like a second home. Best wishes for continued success.
