GIVEAWAYS AND GREAT WISDOM: FROM BEST-SELLING AUTHORS TO FREE WELLNESS GOODIES, SNOWMASS' WELLNESS FESTIVAL OFFERS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE
Snowmass Village, Colo. - Participants to the Snowmass Wellness Experience August 17-19 will not go home empty-handed. In addition to the wealth of insight provided by diverse Wellness experts, the first 500 participants at the 4th annual Snowmass Wellness Experience will receive a welcome bag of goodies.
Welcome bags include samples from companies such as Fruitabu, Arrowhead Mills, Back To Nature, Nordic Naturals, Terra Chips, and Yogi Tea and are valued at $75. Participants can pick up more freebies at the Wellness Expo which fills the Snowmass Village Mall with booths by companies such as Body & Soul, Susan's Soaps, Natural Factors, Nature's Way, Remede Spa, and Vitamin Cottage, which plans to give away products ranging from health & beauty items to groceries and snacks to herbal supplements. Also on-hand at the expo will be astrologers doing chart readings, yoga and meditation experts, supplement companies and more.
The freebies and expo are only a precursor to a Wellness weekend that offers an exceptional line-up of speakers and activities.
"It's difficult to get across just how much this festival offers," says event director Josh Behrman. "We've brought together highly respected Wellness experts who address issues that concern everyone like stress, healthy eating, and optimal fitness and who you can't see elsewhere in Colorado. But it's not just about sitting and taking notes. Whether you just want to sign up for a yoga pass or only see the inspirational keynote speakers, take your spouse out for a great evening of dinner and dancing, or immerse yourself in the whole weekend, there's something for everyone and multiple levels of participation."
Over two days the Snowmass Wellness Experience, which is sponsored by Body & Soul Magazine, Vitamin Cottage, the Denver Post, the Crestwood, and the Shakti Foundation, gives participants access to top nutrition, fitness, and spirituality & science experts, including six best-selling authors. While the popular Swing into Wellness presented by Vitamin Cottage gourmet dinner celebration kicks off the weekend on Friday with music by the swing Latin band Conjunto Colores, distinguished keynote speakers Marianne Williamson and Dan Millman address audiences on Saturday.
Nearly 20 other respected wellness and fitness presenters include Dr. Pamela Peeke, Michael T. Murray, Steve Hess, Janet Stone, and Belleruth Naparstek, while guided hikes, bike rides, on-mountain yoga classes, and healthy cooking demonstrations abound as well. This year's event is certified as an approved program for up to 13 hours of Professional Continuing Education Credits, a new designation allowing professionals ranging from nurses to psychologists the opportunity to gain knowledge and credit in the workplace for attending.
