Wellness Roadtrip

August 24, 2009


10:00 – 5:00 Saturday August 29

A self-guided tour in the Owen Sound District exploring remarkable opportunities for spirit, mind and body.

This area has hundreds of wellness providers who offer a wide range of options for healthy living. The first-ever one-day Wellness Roadtrip will provide participants with the opportunity to learn more about energy healing, reiki, naturopathy, Native healing and spirituality, massage, yoga, dreamwork, aromatherapy, quantum bio feedback, ion cleansing, meditation, fitness, nutrition and more. On Saturday August 29 from 10:00 – 5:00, nine wellness venues in and around Owen Sound will open their doors to provide hands-on demonstrations, presentations, product samples and answers about their specific services.

Organized by a local alliance interested in expanding understanding of the many available local health options, the Wellness Roadtrip is based on the familiar artists’ studio tour model. The Wellness Roadtrip will showcase numerous approaches to traditional and alternative healing. With their $10 ticket, participants will have access to nine sites with over two dozen local experts on hand. In addition, there will be a grand prize of a Wellness Package (valued over $2500) including healthy treatments and products for one lucky participant.

A little Align-ment from Ange

June 26, 2007

Editor’s Note: This post marks the beginning of a partnership between theOwen.com and Angela Wright of Align Nutrition. Angela Wright is a registered Nutritional Consultant, who focuses her efforts on educating people about the role of whole food in wellness, and how small, positive changes over time can lead to big changes in health. Her business, Align Nutrition, offers personal consultations, grocery store tours, cooking classes, and educational seminars on topics including Nutrition 101 and Detox for Beginners. Find out more at www.alignnutrition.com. Many thanks to Ange for her contributions. If any other readers have topics of special interest that they would like to contribute content for, please contact us.

Angela Wright of Align Nutrition I teach a class called ‘Detox for Beginners’ – it’s not an AA thing, but more of a forum for learning about all the toxins that we are exposed to from our food supply, personal care products, cleaning supplies, cooking methods, clothing, furniture, air, water, etc, etc, etc. As with anything that I teach, it’s not in an apocalyptic manner, but all about the education. The more you learn about something, the more often you can make a conscious decision to avoid or embrace that particular fact. It’s all about the baby steps – one change at a time. So anyways, the students in my class really wanted to get together on a regular basis to share their new findings – recipes, products, articles – with other people that are also looking to better their nutrition and lifestyle through these baby steps. The more I mentioned this idea, the more people outside the class wanted to attend.

So now it’s open to everyone and anyone that wants to get together, talk about holistic lifestyle changes they have made through small steps, and eat good food. Our first night is on June 28th, from 5:30pm ’till whenever, at Kinexions Holistic Health Studio (970 3rd Ave West O/S – two doors north of the Billy Bishop Museum). Come bearing a healthy potluck dish (with recipe – I’ll post them for everyone after); a plate, cup, and cutlery (so we don’t throw out paper or plastic); a lawn chair; any new products you’ve discovered, article, info etc. to share with the group; and $5 to cover incidentals. For more info, email me at ange@alignnutrition.com. Hope to see some new and old faces there!
