Volunteer Vroom !!

A huge wave of gratitude to our incredible volunteers who worked behind the scenes to bring the Birth Wellness Festival to life at the Showgrounds. Transporting all the trappings of a festival to and from the showgrounds, setting up and packing down the big marquee was a monumental effort in itself! Setting up the marketplace, creating a beautiful kids space, building the magnificent Yoni sculpture, welcoming guests, and so many tasks we didn't anticipate, our enthusiastic volunteers did whatever needed to be done with so much love and goodwill. 😍They created the warm and welcoming space where the community could gather, connect, and be inspired. Beautiful Volunteers, we truly could not have done it without you. Thank you for co-creating this vision with us! We hope to see you next year ❤️

Dear NutraOrganics team, Thanks for your support!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your generous donation of the Hot chocolate Collagen samples that were included in our festival goodie bags. The gifts were warmly received, judging by the exclamations and appreciative comments as people opened their bags, and we hope that this leads to more sales for you. Your contribution helped us raise much-needed funds to make the festival happen, but also truly celebrated and nurtured the mothers, families, and community who came together.
With Gratitude and Blessings,
The Birth Wellness Festival Team 💜
