Best-selling authors and renowned wellness experts converge in Snowmass Village, Colorado, for a holistic wellness festival August 17-19, 2007. No other wellness event in the U.

Snowmass Village, Colo. (PRWEB) July 19, 2007
In only its fourth year, The Snowmass Wellness Experience announces an all-star line-up of wellness speakers for this August 17-19 celebration in the Rocky Mountain resort of Snowmass Village, Colorado.
"Unlike other wellness events that are confined to the classroom or conference center, our participants are learning how to nurture the whole person indoors, outdoors and through practical, hands-on opportunities throughout the resort," says Event Director Josh Behrman. "We've created a totally immersive, truly holistic lifestyle festival, from morning meditations to sampling healthy cuisine to heading out on a bike with a professional athlete."
Over two days the Snowmass Wellness Experience, which is sponsored by Body & Soul Magazine, Vitamin Cottage, the Denver Post, the Crestwood, and the Shakti Foundation, gives participants access to top nutrition, fitness and spirituality and science experts, including six best-selling authors. While the popular Swing into Wellness presented by Vitamin Cottage gourmet dinner celebration kicks off the weekend on Friday, distinguished keynote speakers Marianne Williamson and Dan Millman address audiences on Saturday.
Nearly 20 other internationally respected wellness and fitness presenters such as Dr. Pamela Peeke, Michael T. Murray, Steve Hess, Janet Stone, Dr. Barry Bittman and Belleruth Naparstek, discuss topics such as stress, super foods, gluten intolerance, the healing power of music, Anusara yoga and the wellness programs used by NBA athletes. Snowmass Wellness Experience activities include guided nature hikes and bike rides, morning meditation, on-mountain yoga classes, cooking demonstrations and a Wellness Expo featuring the latest in healthy products for the mind, body and spirit.
This year's event raises the bar by also becoming certified as an approved program for up to 13 hours of Professional Continuing Education Credits. This new designation allows professionals ranging from nurses to psychologists the opportunity to gain knowledge and credit in the workplace for attending.
"No other wellness event in the United States offers such a comprehensive and intimate opportunity to explore wellness issues, both for individuals and professionals," says Marketing Director Susan Hamley. "It's not a wellness conference, but rather the opportunity to immerse yourself in a truly life-transforming weekend in a beautiful mountain destination."
Snowmass Village offers a wealth of activities for the mind, body and spirit including spa services at local hotels, golf, 40 miles of scenic hiking and biking trails, and free concerts, horseback riding and hot air balloon rides.
