This month is overflowing with opportunities to connect in community with like-minded peeps!

First up is the Healing Arts Festival on September 7, 2025, being brought to you by the Thrive Tribe Collaborative. This heart-centered gathering promises opportunities to nourish your body, expand your mind, open your heart and elevate your spirit. Experiential events will take place throughout the day in a beautiful indoor/outdoor setting on the water.

Next up is the bi-annual Health and Wellness Show on September 14, 2025. Hosted by event specialist Walter Perlman, this event offers the opportunity to get up close and personal with a host of over 70 vendors focused on helping you improve the quality of your life physically, emotionally and even financially. Incorporating both mainstream and more natural and holistic offerings, this event is a must for anyone interested in a wide variety of vendors.

For a spark of sisterhood, Autumn Awakening is a must on September 21, 2025. Play with vision boards, catch live readings with Psychic Medium Debbie Squizzero, connect with local authors on the wellness journey and visit vendors offering a plethora of all-good! This event will feature live entertainment throughout the day with food trucks to satisfy your belly, too. You’re sure to leave this event feeling lighter than when you arrived.

Wrapping up the month with Intention Fest on September 28, 2025, this is an outdoor festival not to be missed. With a focus on wellness and peace, you’ll be enveloped in a beautiful, sprawling, outdoor venue.  Experience a gong mediation under the tress by the beach, reiki, intuitive healings, nutrition and plant medicine education and so much more.

You’ll find more information and links to all of these and more events within this month's issue.

If you’re seeking a way to get more centered and become more involved in our community, I invite you to join us on Insight Timer, an app and tool for experiencing and tracking a daily mindfulness practice. The app is free as well as our Natural Awakenings community within the app.

We’re building this community for us, too! Knowing there are others in our community practicing mindfulness and meditation together in the same space, whether at the same time or not, helps me stay committed to showing up for myself, those I care about and that includes you too!

I hope you join us in support of the greatest good for all at tinyurl.com/NAGBRICommunity.

I’ll be looking for you this month … if you see me, please say hello and make it an awesome September!

Peace,
