Featured Event: Area's Largest Wellness, Healthy Living Event

MARLBOROUGH, MA—The Annual Natural Living Expo, New England’s largest holistic health and wellness event, is coming back to Marlborough for the 12th year.

Spirit of Change presents the Natural Living Expo at the Best Western Royal Plaza & Trade Center on Nov. 10 and 11. The annual event attracts guests, exhibitors and speakers from across the country, and usually draws more than 10,000 attendees, and hosts more than 275 exhibitors and 90 workshops.

The expo is an opportunity to learn about body-mind-spirit healing, as well as green living, healthy eating, stress relief, alternative medicine and making the planet a healthier place for everyone.

Tickets for the weekend are $15, and that includes access to the hall with more than 275 exhibitors, the Inner Space Meditation Café, the Healthy Foods Tent and live Jazz Café, plus entrance to most workshops including Saturday’s The Qigong Experience all-day presentation, featuring four 80-minute workshops led by four extraordinary qi masters.

Three special keynote speakers at this year’s expo are an additional $35-50 per speaker, including: John Holland, internationally renowned psychic medium, author and radio host; Rhys Thomas, energy medicine author, teacher and founder of the Rhys Thomas Institute of Energy Medicine; and Cheryl Richardson, celebrity coach and bestselling author on personal growth and self-care.

The Healthy Foods Tent offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options. This year the tent will offer vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, as well as healthy Thai, Greek, Mexican, Italian, beverage, and dessert specialty vendors. A coffee and Armenian pastry bar is open all weekend long near the exhibit hall entrance.

“We are the only venue in New England with access to so many unique and high-quality, holistically-minded exhibitors,” commented event founder and director Michella Brudner in a statement. “Our workshops are carefully screened to provide only best presenters and topics that will leave our attendees feeling excited with the new tools and information they have received here at the expo. Now in our twelfth season, many of our exhibitors and attendees keep returning year after year for the success and friendly atmosphere that just keeps growing and getting better! It’s not something you’ll find anywhere else in New England.”

Weekend admission to the expo is $12 in advance online, and $15 at the door. Kids under 12 years old are free. Free re-admission on Sunday is available with your wristband.
