season. It will be held April 21-22, 2012 at the Clarion Hotel and Conference Center, 1 Atwood Drive, Northampton, MA. The Expo will include over 150 talks & exhibits on the subjects of body, mind, and spirit. Attendance is expected to surpass 1500 attendees.
This year’s Expo will place increased focus on the Pioneer Valley as one of the nation’s hot spots for local, organic food as part of the show’s holistic theme. Jonathon Podolsky, show producer, explains that, "There are fantastic resources in the Valley, including a large number of farmer’s markets, organic farms, and makers of healthy food products. We would like to increase the focus on local, organic food by incorporating more speakers, exhibitors, advertisers, and sponsors that tie in with that. The fact that Earth Day falls on the second day of the Expo offers an additional opportunity to spotlight the connection between a healthy ecosystem and healthy living."
Amy Leigh Mercree will be presenting a keynote address. An expert spiritual dating coach and medical intuitive who has been practicing for eleven years, she blogs on www.Spiritual GirlsGuide.com and is the author of an array of books and e-books. Amy is a specialist on spiritual dating and frequent speaker at events
Jackie Woodside, CPC, LICSW will be a featured speaker at the Expo. She is a dynamic presenter and expert coach when it comes to helping people move from being crazy busy to meaningfully productive. She will be speaking on "Energy Management: Being Meaningfully Productive Not Chronically Busy!" Energy Management is a revolutionary new system that teaches people how to manage themselves in relation to their values and commitments rather than experiencing life as a series of tasks to be accomplished and trying (unsuccessfully) to manage time. She will help attendees learn to how to enhance their productivity, reduce stress, and live a life of meaning.
The Expo will also be welcoming Gary McKinstry back once more. He holds a doctorate in religion, is a Universal Life minister and radio personality. Many of us feel that we have not made closure before our loved ones have passed away. The deceased may have their own need for closure, need to give us information, or help us just by knowing that they are still around. His workshop is about connecting spiritually with them.
Steve Maraboli will be presenting at the Expo again. A renowned speaker, writer, national radio show host, TV correspondent and personal coach, Steve has risen to international prominence by delivering highly penetrating speeches and effective programs that have helped countless people destroy personal barriers and live up to their greatest potential. His words inspire happiness and a mindset that attracts success & excellence. This year’s talk will be on "Life, the Truth, and Being Free."
