Georgian Court University will host its first Wellness Expo Saturday, May 12 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the school’s historic main campus in Lakewood. The event is free and open to the public.
From Native American healing traditions to natural techniques intended to help people “de-stress, rebalance, and re-energize,” the expo features a full day of presentations, including yoga classes for adults and youngsters, lessons for healthy living, hand massage demonstrations, tips on aging, boot camp training and more. A toy drive to benefit Specialized Children’s Hospital in Toms River is also planned.
Attendees at the expo will hear from more than 50 exhibitors and guest speakers. Confirmed guests include wellness experts in acupuncture, chiropractic, massage therapy, weight loss, organic foods, finance and many other fields. The event includes giveaways, and participants may be eligible to win free massages, distance healing sessions, gift certificates, jewelry, gym memberships, and yoga studio memberships.
“It really is for all ages to explore the various dimensions of wellness,” says Sachiko Komagata, Ph.D., director of GCU’s holistic health graduate program. Graduate student Tracey Saliski—who earned a B.S. in exercise science from Georgian Court in 2010 and will soon graduate with a master’s degree in holistic health studies—worked closely with Dr. Komagata to plan the event.
“I saw bringing health-conscious people to the Georgian Court University campus, a place where one can focus on mind, body, and spirit, as a perfect fit for the expo,” says Ms. Saliski, who also serves as a graduate assistant for campus wellness. “We will have a wide variety of talent and experience at the event, and I’m sure there will be something for everyone.”

I agree with quiet time. Def consideration of my neighbors if they have a sleeping baby or back yard…Read More party. We surely try to respect that.

Funny Lelenore, I don't see that there are very many rules and regs. If it were elected it would not…Read More be an infringement. I respect your opinion, but still feel six day time hours out of an entire week is not a lot to ask. If nothing else, would love to see a ban on gas leaf blowers. There are towns that have that in place. The mowers are not really IMHO that intrusive, but the leaf blowers and concrete cutters are another matter. Trouble is, people herebouts think they are in Montana and often are as you say, on 100 by 100 lots. What is the point of having all of this grass and trees if one never has the serenity about them to enjoy it? I think the ill effects of suburban noise pollution on health - blood pressure, aggression, release of the chemical cortisol etc. are well documented. Over a twenty five year period in time in Brick I find that this has become a real quality of life issue. At one point in my life I resided in mid town Manhattan and ya know what - being high up IT WAS QUIETER! Jackson? I don't think so. Doesn't Brielle have such an elective ordinance?

Right next to the liquor store. The reason it is taking so long is the politics of Acropolis and…Read More Pat Botazzi. They kept the liquor store from opening for TWO years by controlling the planning board and caused the store owner HUNDREDS OF THOUSANS OF DOLLARES WITH COURT FIGHTS. Acropolis LOST THE COURT FIGHTS BUT CONTINUES TO BEAT UP ON THE LIQUOR STORE'S NEW TENNANT AS RETROBUTION Now Acropolis can play the code enforcement game and still get his happiness as a bigoted soon to be ex mayor and not a nice man. How about denying this. It is going to be a great store with the same owners and great food IF Acropolis doesn't have them go bankrupt due to him before they even open.

Looks good, but got sick as a dog from their food years back. Did I ever return? Nope.
