The Nitty Gritty – please read all the details – they can make or break the collective experience

Before completing your application, please note…​

  • Practitioners with whom we have not previously worked may be requested to donate a mini-session to us for each service they would like to offer festival attendees as part of the interview process. We feel it is best to experience firsthand what they would like to offer to festival attendees, as it allows us to make better recommendations to festival attendees.

  • Exhibit space and speaking opportunities are at the Expo sponsor’s complete discretion.

After the Expo’s application period (1-2 weeks), exhibitors are selected from the pool of applicants to fill exhibitor spaces. Remaining applicants are placed on a waiting list. However, we do give preference to local exhibitors as it is our intent to help build the healing community in the area where the event is held.

PAYMENT POLICY: All payments are due no later than 7 days after you been approved.

  • Failure to pay by the deadline may result in your exhibitor booth space being cancelled.  This will require you to re-apply if you are still interested in exhibiting. In addition, exhibitors who fail to pay by the deadline for any event may receive lower priority at future events. 

  • Email reminders for payments will be sent 1 day prior to the payment deadline.

A FINAL NOTE:
It is our mission to hold events of the highest quality. We expect our exhibitors to behave with the utmost integrity. We will not tolerate any type of energy manipulation or actions with negative intent in any way at our events. It is our mission to serve the community and each other with the purest energy of light and love. If we suspect an exhibitor is not holding to the standard we have set here, that exhibitor may be released from our approved exhibitor list.
