Crystal Connection is serving up energy healing, acupuncture, tarot readings, Caribbean food, and more at this weekend’s holistic wellness fair! Crystal Connection, the crystal and wellness shop housed in a reformed Methodist Church, also known as “The Church of a Thousand Crystals,” is gearing up for its biggest ever event of wellness practitioners and professionals this weekend.

“We've been here for 16 years at Crystal Connection,” says Travis Odgen, co-owner of the store and organizer of the fair, “We serve the community with information and the wisdom of crystals and how they can influence and help the physical body in our spiritual journey but in a more grounded way of understanding.”

The event has become a staple of Crystal Connection for the last 14 years, but this year the scale has grown – in addition to the 15 readers and healers (all vetted by the Crystal Connection staff), the event will now include more than 25 vendors, offering the largest network of practitioners in wellness health that Sullivan County has ever seen.

“With the fair now, it's elevating everything,” Ogden said. “Connecting the whole wellness circle that encompasses so many different aspects of holistic health, spiritual health, and physical well-being, in a broader sense that people can really touch, feel, smell and explore.”

For the psychic portion of the fair, Crystal Connection is offering 15-minute readings for $25 or half-hour sessions for $45, which can be booked online or by calling the store.

In the beautiful front and back yard of the church, booths will feature dozens of practitioners offering everything from aura photography, crystal readings, energy healing, to offers to reach loved ones from beyond – and that includes loved ones of all species. This year, a pet psychic and pet help include animal wellness in the holistic health space.

While nourishing your mind and soul, don't forget to feed your appetite! All weekend long there will be Carribean food outside, with some featured vegan eats on Saturday and a coffee bar on Sunday. The Ancient Art of Salt and Wellness cave is also open and ready for exploring in the downstairs area of the shop.

“I feel that this is a very big, pivotal shift for us as Crystal Connection and what we are creating for the community in the area of Sullivan County and the Hudson Valley,” said Ogden. “There’s a few other fairs that bring together some different practices, but we're really creating a database of these practitioners who have an alternative understanding to ailments and conditions that we all go through.”

The fair runs Saturday and Sunday, August 3 and 4, at 116 Sullivan St, in Wurtsboro. Call 845-888-2547 to book with one of the 15 healers and readers featured, or visit crystalconnectionnewyork.com/holistic-wellness-fair for more information.
