​Last weekend's Nomad's Mind Body Spirit Expo was an exceptional event that you missed if you weren't there. It's rare to find a gathering of like-minded individuals in one place, but this expo brought together a holistic community dedicated to promoting body awareness, mental alignment, and spiritual connection.

Nomad regularly hosts a variety of events, but this one was particularly special. Attendees had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of holistic practitioners, including teachers, massage therapists, herbalists, writers, artists, healers, psychics, aura readers, and vibrational sound and light workers. The focus of the event was on alternative forms of healing, and attendees were encouraged to ask questions and try out different approaches to promote good health.

This was our first event of its kind, but it certainly won't be the last. Keep an eye out for future opportunities to connect with the holistic community at Nomad's events.

We're excited to announce that the MIND BODY SPIRIT EXPO has expanded its footprint this year. Currently, we have 35 vendors, this is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in the holistic health benefits offered at the show. If you're interested, please register here. We have 5 spots available for Sunday, September 17th, and 7 spots available for the 16th and 17th ​

The center of Caleb Pike Heritage Park is a beautiful orchard surrounded by pathways that connect several buildings. Three of these buildings are considered heritage sites: the Caleb Pike House, made of squared logs and dating back to 1883, the Schoolhouse built in 1893, and the Teacherage. At the back of the park, visitors can find the caretaker's house, which is a replica of the Gregory home, a woodshed made of squared logs, and a museum. The park is the heart of the Highlands community's heritage values, and some of its buildings have been deemed significant enough to be listed on the Provincial and National Heritage Registers.

The park will hosts a collection of skilled vendors who create handmade goods using traditional methods. The event will feature workshops and live music, with more details to come soon.  for more info Click Here 

Some people may argue that everything is not connected in one way or another but I prefer to believe that everything is connected and that Syngery is a real thing. 


Having the opportunity to put on this event is an honor. After two years of uncertainly, it is time we make time for ourselves. Registration is open to the healing community to come to our show.
