Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo 2006 – The First Natural Parenting and Family Expo to Create Empowered Parents, Balanced Families and a Healthier Planet

The Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo will provide the answers that a fast-growing group of socially and environmentally conscious parents are looking for to keep the planet and their families naturally safe and healthy.

(PRWEB) March 31, 2005 -- The Whole Children, Whole Planet (WCWP) Expo will be held over the Earth Day weekend (next year), April 22-23, 2006, at the Los Angeles Convention Center, in Southern California.

Parents today are faced with often confusing and conflicting information about how to raise healthy children. Sifting through the facts for informed decision-making is a crucial part of responsible parenting. The WCWP Expo will provide parents with new insights on important issues.

WCWP Expo is the brainchild of Kathy Arnos, a California based mother, author and producer, who recognized a need for guidance and education in the community for creating more balanced lifestyles. Arnos feels our society is facing critical issues among our youth today – childhood obesity, epidemic numbers of autism, attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, teen suicide and depression, cancer clusters and much more. She states, The time has come to create a generation of empowered families, both for the sake of our children and our planet. There is no handbook for raising healthy children – mind, body and spirit – or for guidance in supporting a sustainable planet for their future. My goal is to offer families, teachers and friends all of these resources under one roof.”

In 1987, Arnos got involved with natural health and environmental issues as a result of her daughter Danielles chronic illness after childhood vaccines. She has spent the last 18 years doing research and sharing her knowledge with other families about natural healing methods and informed lifestyle choices.

Arnos, President of Whole Planet Productions, Inc., has teamed up with a Chicago based mother/grandmother, Mary Beth Rebedeau, of The Rebedeau Group, a consumer and trade show management company, to help bring her vision to life.

In subsequent years, the women plan on producing the WCWP Expo in other cities throughout the United States. They are committed to educating people about the benefits of using holistic medicine; homeopathy, herbs, flower essences, vitamins and minerals; natural products, i.e., body and personal care products, cleaning products, etc.; new philosophies; enrichment programs; important environmental issues and hazards; safety; and will offer families an opportunity to sample healthy foods that taste great without additives, preservatives, chemicals, coloring dyes and refined sugar.

The information presented at the Expo will be different from what is familiar to families through the mainstream news media and will bring a whole new awareness to raising children naturally.

The WCWP Expo will be filled with two days of fun for all ages, with five stages for education and entertainment – The Main Stage, The Natural Foods Kitchen, The Enrichment Village, Teen Awareness and The Reading and Fitness Corner. The Expo will address a wide range of issues – from natural fertility options to conscious grandparents.

Join us in raising healthy children – mind, body and spirit – and honoring our planet for their future.
