About the Wellness Village…

The Shelter Valley Folk Festival is a grassroots family event, featuring multiple stages with performers from across the continent and around the corner, an exceptional array of talented artists, fabulous hands-on programming for children of all ages, family camping, fine local and organic food, and a wellness area where festival-goers can explore new options for health, well-being, and sustainable living.

This year's festival runs Labour Day Weekend, Friday August 29, 30 and 31, 2008

 

A key element of the festival is an area we call "The Village", which hosts artists' displays and workshops, fine food service, and specific to this application the Wellness and Sustainable Living areas. As organizers we have chosen not to rent space in the village; rather, to jury all participants in order to create a unique and vibrant Festival Village for the weekend that will support the participating contributors and encourage festival-goers to learn about and share in the experience.
With this approach we hope to provide a more integrated experience, and enhance the opportunity for the community to understand the options in alternative health and wellness.

We are looking for contributors willing to interact with our audience and demonstrate their area of interest. In this way contributors become part of the Festival team presenting a unique weekend experience for the community.

The Festival offers contributors:
  An opportunity to provide information and services for the public
  Free access to the festival on the day(s) of your participation
  Free access to the hospitality area for breaks and meals, on the day(s) of your participation
  An opportunity to display educational and limited promotional material related to your business or practice
     
Contributors may apply to offer:
  A series of mini treatments (approximately 20 minutes in duration) both for the festival public and the backstage area for performers and volunteers
  An interactive presentation or workshop on a Wellness topic or practice
  Involvement in the festival for one day, or for the entire weekend
     
For further information, feel free to contact Barbara Buntin, Village Coordinator, at 905.372.8535 or
