“How’d your Expo turn out?”

By RAVI DYKEMA

I am tired, excited, and so grateful to the wonderful community that is brought together by this magazine. We just (ten days ago, as I write this) held our first Nexus Expo in Boulder and we are thrilled with the responses of our exhibitors, attendees and speakers. We will be creating the Nexus Holistic Expo again next year–we are just settling on dates in a few days. If you want to be notified please email us at info@nexuspub.com.
One of our most popular presenters was John Douillard, D.C., Ph.D. speaking on “Solving the mystery of your anxiety, depression and weight gain.” To keep the Expo excitement going, we are printing an interview with Dr. Douillard in this issue, on page 28. And CDs of his Expo presentation are available from us. Go to our website for ordering info, Nexuspub.com.

I want to tell you more about this historic event (the first ever wellness consumer show in Boulder!) but will let some of my 65 wonderful exhibitors do it. We sent them a questionnaire a few days ago. Here are some of their responses:

“All in all, this is by far the most stress-free, best organized, pleasant, and rewarding expo I have done in 4 years. The steady flow of interested people walking through who were ready and willing to buy was the best for me. The atmosphere of the expo hall was very sweet; very conducive to easy conversations with good people.”
Pam Lambert, Novaurora Organic Skin Care, Boulder.

“I was excited to be a part of the Nexus Expo ...We here in Boulder are the center of many types of holistic healing. It was amazing to see such a great variety of modalities and to be able to expose people to things that perhaps they were unfamiliar with.”
Karin Hoskin, Full Circle Midwifery, Boulder.

“You did an absolutely superb job on the creation of this "Nexus" for so many people and healing energies. From the captivating speakers, to the compelling advertisements, the venue, the details seemingly all cared for, to the orchids at the registration tables, it was very fine.”
Jean Martens, Attunement with Life, Sunrise Ranch, Loveland, exhibitor

“The group of exhibitors were outstanding.”
Jennifer Crews, Intuitive Teachings, LLC, Boulder.

“The education and energy of the expo was truly uplifting. Looking forward to the next one and to continue the comradery with all the wonderful people I've met. You all did a wonderful job and I'm thankful to have been a part of it”
Nancy d’Angelo, Julia Rose Botanicals, Aurora, exhibitor

“I think the quality of the exhibitors was fantastic. It was refreshing to see several holistic doctors, meditation groups and alternative healing modalities at the expo. Great Job!!!”
Victoria Singson, Supreme Master Ching Hai Meditation Association, Lakewood, exhibitor

"The Nexus Holistic Expo was well-planned with much thought given to each aspect of it; details were handled in a professional manner."
Myrna Lou Goldbaum, Boulder, exhibitor
