Nakusp is all about lakes, mountains, fresh air and beautiful hot springs.

FOR ONE WEEKEND EVERY SECOND YEAR . . . wellness practitioners throughout the Kootenays gather together in one festival with the sole purpose of inspiring you about ways to attain a vibrant, healthy Mind, Body, and Spirit.

• Learn new ways to integrate wellness as a lifestyle change.
• Be inspired by guest speakers on wellness topics.
• Participate in many workshops and mini educational talks.
• Explore new ways of healing and take part in activities that promote wellness.
• Enjoy the many booths, services, information and good food.
• Raise your awareness, educate yourself and have fun experiencing it all!

There are many ways to take part in the Nakusp Celebration of Wellness. There are booths and vendors with their healing services and products; workshops on such topics as Art Therapy Yoga, ancient history and mysteries of the Divine Feminine, and much more; demonstrations of Tai Chi; Drumming Sports programs; sessions where practitioners offer a 20-minute sample of their skills to help the public become aware of the healing value; mini talks on healing modalities; guest speakers during the day and our main guest speakers on Saturday evening in the Bonnington Theatre.

The Festival is a great place to explore new ways of healing, learn how to integrate wellness concepts into lifestyle changes, and explore and enjoy Nakusp as a wellness destination. Two commercial and several natural hot springs, the majestic Selkirk Mountains, beautiful Arrow Lake and varied wildlife all lead to an enormously pleasurable weekend retreat.

Admission: $3;    Guest Speakers: $10;    Healing Service: $15/20min;    Workshops: $20 and up

This is an opportunity for practitioners to come together in one place, enhance their presence in the public eye, share their knowledge, offer a service to the public, network with other practitioners in their field, and discover other healing modalities that might complement their service and lead to referrals to their clients. And it’s a chance to be part of a much bigger picture of global healing.
