The Awaken Wellness Fair, the tri-state area’s oldest and best-known body-mind-spirit-green expo, will return to Tarrytown, NY from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., April 24, 2016, at the DoubleTree Hotel at 455 South Broadway. 

The fair has grown in attendance from 42 people in 2002 to nearly 1,000 in recent years, says founder Paula Caracappa, CEO of PPC Group LLC. “For 14 years, this wellness-focused, educational and experiential event has attracted well over 100 exhibitors to locations throughout the tri-state area,” she says. “Educating the public about the variety of wellness services and products that are available today is the one thing that remains constant.”

The Awaken Wellness Fair features a continuous program of free educational presentations lasting 45 minutes each. This year’s topics cover a wide range of current wellness subjects intended to help people live healthier and happier lives, including Mary Ellen O’Brien’s “Align with Your Higher Self: A Channeled Guidance Session” and Lois Kramer-Perez’s “Four Keys to Become the Driver of Your Destiny.”

The DoubleTree’s grand ballroom will be filled with vendors offering products and services supporting a healthy lifestyle, such as essential oils, Ayurvedic medicine, nutritional supplements and organic cleaning products. Intuitive readers will also be on hand, Caracappa says. “This group offers insight through tarot readings, mediumship, angel readings, numerology, pet readings and many more, for entertainment purposes only. Then there are gifted healers, practicing reiki, reflexology and energy healing,” she says.
