“Wellness is about promoting inner healing, energizing our inner motivation, and developing conscious and mindful daily living. I hope this expo will trigger such consciousness in each of us,” says Sachiko Komagata, Ph.D., director of GCU’s holistic health graduate program.

Thirty-minute workshops will run throughout the day, starting at 11:00 a.m., and the complimentary yoga classes will take place at 12:00 p.m. for children and 3:00 p.m. for adults.
