A Festival Of Health, A Wealth Of Wellbeing

A meaningful and meditative occasion, the Proserpine Health Festival, returned to town this year and organisers said they were excited to see so many people from the community attend and support the event.

“It exceeded our expectations and it was such a great turn out,” said organiser Selena Daly.

“It shows there is a need for this sort of event and the whole weekend felt like a very supportive, inclusive environment – it’s been relaxed but was also nourished by a wealth of knowledge and wisdom from our local health practitioners.”

Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm MP opened the festival and during her speech commented that it was wonderful to see so many Proserpine-based health related businesses that were creating this vibrant wellness culture.

Over the weekend between 40 and 50 people attended a range of seminars, workshops and interactive events.

Topics included naturopathy, nutrition, fitness, colonics, breathwork, yoga and more.  

There was also opportunity for people to interact and network, eat delicious food and spend time learning more about empowering choices around healthy living.

The biggest year so far, organisers are looking forward to growing the event next year and welcoming more guests to what is becoming a thriving local festival.
