This was held yesterday in the Memorial Hall and attracted a good number of stallholders with alternative therapies such as massage, Reiki and aromatherapy, as well as those probing or presenting the more mystic aspects of life, nearly all with Asian or Indian origins.

Eva and I have tried some of them before such as foot and back vibrators (good), Reiki (so-so), crystals (no effect), aromatherapy (beneficial) and acupressure (no benefit), but it’s likely people’s experiences differ a lot. Generally, we like finding out about other possibilities of what makes everything in the Universe coalesce — the Earth is but one grain of sand on the beach that is the Universe.

We bought some aromatherapy fragrance from a Japanese couple and had some interesting chats with several exhibitors. The event ended at 3:00 pm as next in the hall from 5:30 was a Rock n Roll dancing competition which we also take an interest in.
