• Bruce Walker Travel Adventures:  Life doesn’t always go smoothly. Losses happen and a way to accept them and move on with your life has to be found. Join Bruce Walker, gay man, author, human rights advocate and retired lawyer, as he offers signed copies of his book; Bruce Walker Travel Adventures-Summer 2012. In the book he chronicles his struggles to come to terms with the loss of Lloyd Simmons, his husband and spouse of thirty years and his retirement from the practice of law.  Come to meet and talk with Bruce about his book. brucewalkertraveladventures.ca

• Erica Spring BodyTalk: Any kind of stress has an impact in our bodies whether it’s physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual. Physical problems are often a sign of an underlying factor that cannot be accessed by our ego, the part of our brain we use the most. In fact, our ego often holds on to stressors, beliefs and emotions that can cause deterioration in our health.  BodyTalk communicates with your bodymind, or whole self, which knows exactly what changes need to take place to promote healing.  BodyTalk is simply, thorough, and non-invasive. It is appropriate for people and children of all ages and in any state of health, including pregnancy. ericaspring.ca

• Eos Natural Foods has been filling healthy pantries of the Wolfville and greater community for over 42 years. We offer whole, organic, and local foods, spices, and teas. At Eos, one of our goals is to inspire our customers to cook and share more meals from scratch using our whole food ingredients as we believe this is a cornerstone to sustaining good health throughout life. eosnaturalfoods.ca

• Linda Rozee:  I have been involved in the healing arts for more than 15 years. I started my practice as a registered massage therapist and have expanded to include energetic healing in my work. I am passionate about evolving the spirit and consciousness through energetic healing and have seen clients make significant shifts with problematic issues. I hold the belief that mind, body and spirit are inseparable and that issues with one will directly affect the others. Many problematic issues do not go away , or go away and come back due to information being held in the subconscious and energetic body. Thus it is important to address all facets of our being. wolfvillemassage.com
