Finding Your Way Around The Website

There is a lot of information on Conscious CT. We've tried to arrange it logically, but we keep adding new pages and you might have trouble finding something specific. For an overview of the website read Tour of Conscious CT. For a listing of all pages on the website see our Site Map. Or search our site using a specific name or phrase.

If this is your first visit to Conscious CT please visit our Welcome Page for an introduction.

Community Events

These are enjoyable and educational events that will be attended by many from our area. They are an opportunity to be a part of the community and to meet and network with others. July and August have no area expos or health fairs, but there are plenty of outdoor concerts and farmers' markets to attend.

Farmers' Markets

Most Farmers' Markets are now open for the season. They are a great way to find healthy fresh food, support local agriculture and help the environment. As demand for better food has grown so has the number of markets. And many of the markets have become events in themselves with other vendors, music and activities for children. Coventry, in particular, is like going to a fair.

In our Health Section we list information on all the Farmers' Markets in our region. Those for which we have 2008 data are indicated. As others open please let us know and we'll update the listings.

Spiritual Counselor Update

The Summer issue of The Door Opener includes the annual update of spiritual counselors, psychic readers and astrologers. Those who practice in our region have also been updated in our Spiritual Counselor section. While most readers are trustworthy, it is important to be cautious as there are a few bad apples out there. We have met and are comfortable with all those listed on this website. Also see 'Getting The Most From A Psychic Reading' linked from this section for suggestions on evaluating a reader.

New Photo Albums

An album of photos from June's Animal Health Expo is now online. This was the first of its kind outdoor pet and animal show featuring many holistic practitioners. It took place at the Connecticut Audubon Society in South Glastonbury. As you would expect it was family oriented with pony rides, animals to pet and dog exhibitions.
