On June 14 from 11am to 4pm, Sticks & Stones Farm in Newtown will hold their Annual Open House & Mountain Laurel Festival. Sponsored the past three years by Natural Awakenings Fairfield County as an annual Community Connections event, this year the event is even more significant because it also celebrates the publication’s 10th anniversary party. 2015 marks the 10th year that the Fairfield County edition of Natural Awakenings has been publishing as the area’s premier resource for health well-being.

Join like-minded conscious community members for a day of family fun featuring music, nature, wellness treatments, healthy living inspiration, movement experiences and healthy food. Walk the labyrinth; join in a drumming circle; learn about gardening, stone carving or healing techniques; treat yourself to a massage, sound healing or meditation experience; enjoy the Mountain Laurel Garden; or simply hike the trails throughout the setting of the 60-acre farm.

This year’s event will feature a poetry in fabric art installation through the forest, more children’s activities and a puppet parade by the CT Guild of Puppetry.

Wear comfortable clothing and shoes for walking. The event is rain or shine, so please plan accordingly.
