Our loyal advertisers are the ones who make it possible to print Natural Awakenings magazine each month, filled with resources for living a healthier life. We feel The Springs, located ap- proximately in the middle of our magazine’s coverage area, with its beautiful grounds, is an ideal location for bringing advertisers and readers together for a fun event.”
