Holistic Harvest Fair

The Holistic Harvest Fair will be held October 18 from 10 am to 5 pm at Avalon Healing Arts Holistic Wellness, 133 Main St, Whitehouse Station. The fair will bring together practitioners in wellness for body, mind and spirit with workshops in topics such as the Law of Attraction, hypnosis, energy therapies, and others. Practitioners will be available to discuss their work in “contacting the other side,” chiropractic care, shiatsu, and a variety of other topics.

Attendance is free, but a donation of a new children’s book or pair of pajamas is appreciated if possible. This fair is the kickoff to a fall fundraising drive by Avalon for The Pajama Program (www.pajamaprogram.org), which provides new books and pajamas for children in orphanages and shelters around the country. "Mini-massages" and "mini-shiatsu" sessions lasting 15 minutes each will be offered throughout the day for a donation of $5, which will also be donated to the Pajama Program.

Our practitioners have kindly donated door prizes which will be awarded to those attending.

Avalon’s philosophy of “wellness for body, mind and spirit” is intended to offer the best of holistic options to help find peace and health during stressful times. Come and discover wonderful pathways to healing . . . and have fun!
Preregistration required for all workshops.

Public parking lots are available on Main Street .
Workshop Schedule

10:45-11:15 Chiropractic Care with Dr. Mark Sirninger

11:30-12:00 Lynn Porraro

MICROBIAL BALANCING DURING THE COLD, FLU AND PANDEMIC SEASON

This Fall Lynn will begin an ongoing hands-on class at Avalon in which she will coach us through learning and using the Perelandra Microbial Balancing Program. Lynn is convinced that anyone can learn this program and take charge of their immune system by bringing microbes back in to optimum balance. The Microbial Balancing Program, developed by Machaelle Small Wright at the Perelandra Center for Nature Research, is "a radically different and extraordinarily effective approach to health." Rather than taking control of the "germs" in our body by trying to kill them, the program enables us to take control of our immune system by restoring balance to the vast and vibrant population of living microbes that support our health. By working with Nature (rather than against it!), we can bring balance to the colonies of viruses, fungi, bacteria and protozoa, we can bring balance to their environment (the human body), and we can bring balance to the relationship between our microbes and our body. Lynn has used the program to support her own health, and that of her family and clients for years. In this seminar, she will share her results, describe the program and its application during the flu season, and for recovery from antibiotic use.

1:00-1:30 Hypnotherapy and Stress Management with Susan Lembo

Hypnosis is a heightened state of awareness that interrupts and replaces behavior patterns so you can make changes easily and effortlessly. We will always be faced with new challenges, and stress never goes away completely, but we can learn to manage stress, change our responses and be more at ease in our lives. Session will include guided imagery and suggestions for reducing tension, accomplishing your goals, and making healthy food choices.

1:30-2:00 Isagenix with Lisa Carlson and Anna Gerckens

2:15-2:45 Living the Power with Marie Jackson
intention is a force in the universe - the unfolding of situations, circumstances and all living things affecting all things in all ways. this energy is at work every minute of every day and you are part of this force – this intention of the universe. you can consciously direct this divine power to attract more of what you want to be in your life.

“living the power” employs the tools of conscious evolution:
process, prayer and internal dialogue resulting from understanding intention and the law of attraction.

live the prayer, and you’ll live the power.

3:00-3:30 Life is a Verb with Susan Smith

Living your best life doesn't mean quitting your job, and sailing around the world. Finding peace and happiness doesn't mean abandoning your worldly posessions and becoming a monk. Living your best life means living each day with more intention and gratitiude. Based on the book, "Life is a Verb" , this workshop will offer insight into discovering ways we can all discover what is real, and what matters, and bring more intention and happiness into all our lives.
