Falling on the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo will take place on April 24, 2010 at Highland Hall Waldorf School in Northridge, California from 9:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Project OKURASE will be featured as we teach some of the skills we will be teaching in Okurase such as textile design and drumming. We will sell our product at the expo, which generally hosts 3500 people with a celebrity presence. The chair of the advisory board is Ed Begley, Jr. The Expo is run by Kathy Arnos. See what Kathy has to say in her recent blog.
In early 2005, Arnos created and began producing the Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo, a premier natural parenting and family expo that introduces attendees of all ages to the benefits of natural products, organics foods, natural medicine, enrichment learning programs, sustainable living practices and important health and environmental issues. The first WCWP Expo was held at the Los Angeles Convention Center over Earth Day weekend in 2006.
Currently, Arnos also produces and hosts an internet-radio show – Eco Family News on “I Am Healthy Radio” – as she continues to write freelance for several on-line and in-print publications. She also sits on the Advisory Board’s for California Safe Schools, Holistic Pediatric Association, bluedominoes.com, and the San Fernando Valley Green Team. Arnos leads the K-12 Environmental Educational Task Force for the Team, and has been named the Environmental Special Projects Coordinator for Northridge East Neighborhood Council.
