Estevan’s annual Natural Health and Healing Expo offered vendors, demonstrations and speakers to help people lead a healthy life.
Thirty-four exhibitors and several speakers were part of this year’s expo on Friday and Saturday at the Wylie-Mitchell building.
Sheila Farstad, one of the organizers of the expo, said this was one of the best editions of the event in its eight-year history. She believes it gets a little easier to organize the event each year, thanks to the experience gained.
“There’s a balance of card readers, body workers and products,” said Farstad. “So we have the whole gamut.”
The expo also featured several vendors who haven’t been there before, and some local people who were eager to showcase their services.
Some of the vendors performed demonstrations, allowing the public to experience how these services can improve their lives.
“I feel that this is growing, and this community is all about supporting each other, and building that community for people to have the options of really being informed about their own health and healing,” said Farstad.
Farstad stressed that it’s important for people to embrace and be aware of what’s available for their own health and healing.
“This is a gathering of like-minded people toward better health,” said Farstad.
The speakers included Amanda Spense, who explained how to create a toxic free home with Essential Oils. Andrea Piper talked about a gut-health connection. Suzanne Mayer explained past life hypnotherapy. Kathleen Schroeder discussed how people can clean their homes with just water and a cloth.
Emily Gillies shared her vision for a new health and spiritual retreat centre at the former Metochos Ministries Lutheran Bible Camp west of Estevan.
Marissa Tisdale guided a mini yoga class and Thai yoga for participants. William Sinclair shared his thoughts on how to achieve inner peace in a chaotic world. Also, Laura Wilson discussed clean living with Epicure, Susan Saunders talked about chakras, colours and crystals, and Sandra Howells explained the pictures found in tea leaves.
