Kamloops Wellness Festival Marketing, Promotion, Community Connection Take part in the opportunity to present yourself and your business to new potential clients, meet other practitioners, and participate in a joint marketing program to promote health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, healing, spirituality and more in Kamloops!

Join us Friday June 17 - Sunday, June 19, 2011 for The Kamloops Wellness Festival at Let’s Move Studio and Wellness Centre on McGill Place. The Festival is designed to promote Healthy living, alternative healing and wellness in Kamloops and is an opportunity for you to make contact with large numbers of potential customers.

This event will be well-promoted and is expected to draw over 500 attendees who do more than just pass through - most clients stay and return for much of the weekend!

Attendance is free to the public - we feel this is a great way to present an accessible community event!

The event is organized by Yoga Tree: The Interior Wellness Magazine, Let’s Move Studio and The Emotional Cleanse. Cara Beckett and Elizabeth Beeds are the Festival Organizers.

Throughout the weekend we will enjoy the presentations of local keynote speakers as well as workshops by local teachers.

Healthy food and live music are available for the entire weekend. There will also be a Marketplace open for the weekend with such items as yoga clothing, crystals, metaphysical supplies, food supplements, books and more. In a Healing Garden, practitioners will be offering their services for attendees at $1 a minute, with practitioners receiving 50% of the proceeds.
