FESTIVAL OF LIGHT IN BERKELEY SPRINGS

 

BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV ----The 13th annual Berkeley Springs Festival of Light is a psychic fair and alternative healing expo staged at the Ice House on Saturday and Sunday, November 12 and 13.   More than 60 practitioners of spiritual and physical healing techniques are featured this year, located on two floors of the building.   The festival is open to the public from 10am to 4pm both days.  “We urge people to come early so they can arrange appointments with some of the most popular readers and bodyworkers,” said Mary Ellen Willinghan, a longtime organizer of the event. 

In addition to the practitioners, admission each day includes entry to a major lecture as well as mini-workshops and demonstrations.   On Saturday,  noted astrologer, Jeanne Mozier, is speaking on 2012 and You, offering predictions for the upcoming year.  Other Saturday lectures range from auras to spirit boosters.  On Sunday, the main lecture is Marcia George speaking about After Death – Then What.  Workshops on the two days include self hypnosis, flower essences and a journey to the Akashic Records. Throughout the two days, attendees can seek individual answers and insights from practitioners reading everything from past life patterns and Tarot cards to etched stones or the swing of a  pendulum.  “With all the uncertainty in the world today, we can anticipate lots of people asking questions about finances and jobs along with health and romance,” said Willinghan.   A wide range of products is also available including drums, essential oils, homeopathic medical remedies for humans and pets, jewelry, books and more.

”We have the bodyworkers, massage therapists, Reiki masters and the like, set up on the second floor along with the movement studio,” said Willinghan.  “People can go from one to another in their own version of an alternative health buffet.”
                                   
“A group of us began the festival as a way of taking our own spiritual work out into the larger community.  Each year the event keeps expanding,” said Willinghan. “It gives interested people a central focus at least once a year.”   She encouraged attendees to visit the special gallery exhibit at the Ice House.  Rare Alignments, which opens the previous night on 11-11-11 showcases the elegance of the underlying mathematics embedded in various artistic media. 

The Ice House is located on the corner of Independence and Mercer in the heart of downtown Berkeley Springs.   For more information contact 304-258-3509 or 304-582-4449.
