The Awaken Wellness Fair—the area’s favorite body-mind-spirit-green expo—returns to Tarrytown on November 20. Founder and CEO Paula Caracappa says enthusiasm is running high for this big semi-annual event, which gives like-minded people a chance to step away from everyday life and treat themselves to a soothing respite—and some fun.

“At the Awaken Fairs, vendors offer unusual, natural and healthy products and services—whether it’s artwork that inspires, words that uplift, jewelry that adorns or a practice that heals. Our fall event kicks off the holiday season with unique, often handmade, items that enhance everyone’s gift list,” says Caracappa, who adds that vendor spots are still available. 

In addition, experts in a variety of fields will be giving free 45-minute talks all day, offering ways to help attendees awaken to their best life, says Caracappa. Talk titles include “Stop Overworking and Start Overflowing,” “Soul Aligned Success Secrets” and “Angel Healing and Guidance.” The event will also include intuitive readers and gifted energy healers that offer sessions for a nominal fee. And something new—a séance is planned for this fair.

“Guests always enjoy the re-useable bags and glossy covered booklets given free of charge to attendees,” adds Caracappa. “Exhibitors fill the goody bag tables with gifts and special offers for guests.”
