Page 1 of 8 News Wellness event focuses on mind, body, spiritCOBOURG — Spend a day with your family at the Cobourg Community Centre later this month and learn from speakers, exhibitors and demonstrators various ways to make you all healthy – in mind, body and spirit. Brighton author and natural energy practitioner Dawn James has come together with a group of wellness and health practitioners from Northumberland to organize Family Wellness Day on Feb. 19 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The theme is “live well, eat well, be well” and the idea is to gather information while having fun. There will also be prizes, she said in an interview this week. The idea behind the event, which grew out of a “healing week” James attended last summer, is for health practitioners to come together in one venue to help families make better lifestyle choices, learn about things like stress management, senior care, fitness, organic food, weight loss and even pet care. Admission is just $1 for the day if you come to the centre by 10:30 a.m. when the first of 10 speakers take to the stage, and only $2 after 10:30. There is also an extremely reasonable family rate. In addition to sharing important information with the communities of Northumberland and Quinte West, organizers are using the event as a fundraiser for the Sexual Assault Centre for Quinte and District, James said. Asked why Cobourg was chosen for the first-time event, the author of Raise your Vibration, Transform your Life said the not-for-profit group wants to share information that inspires families to embrace a healthy lifestyle and that the new Cobourg Community Centre is the ideal location. Invitations have been sent to community schools and churches and a number of companies have come on board as sponsors, James said.
