Natural Awakenings’ Family of Franchises Keeps Growing N


atural Awakenings Publishing Corp. (NAPC) recently welcomed a group of new publishers that completed an April training program at corporate headquarters in Naples. The NAPC training staff spent several days with the entrepreneurs now launching new Natural Awakenings magazines in Chi- cago Western Suburbs; Rochester, New York; and Hawaii. Company CEO Sharon Bruckman launched the first edition of Natural


Awakenings in 1994 and began franchising it in 1999. The company current- ly publishes 90 Natural Awakenings magazines throughout the United States and in Puerto Rico, with a collective readership exceeding 3.5 million. “Interest in naturally healthy living that’s good for people and the


planet is now influencing mainstream America, thanks in part to our active and growing readership,” says Bruckman. “Natural Awakenings’ dedicated family of publishers, supported by loyal advertisers, connects readers with a wealth of national and local resources mapping out alter- nate routes to a healthier, happier, longer life.”

Reconnect- ing to Earth events from 9 to 11 a.m., May 7, at Naples Preserve; 8:30 to


10:30 a.m., May 10, at Naples Landing; 9 to 11 a.m., May 18, at Sugden Park, in Naples; and 8 to 10 a.m., May 28, at Tiger Tail Beach, on Marco Island. These free exchanges help participants re- gain senses and reconnect with life, health and nature with purpose. Experiences and connections encompass some of the 53 separate, actionable senses, covering medita- tion, feelings, chemicals and mental capacities, plus one more, “the sense of unity of natural attraction as the singular mother essence and source of all other senses,” says Weisberg, MS (applied ecopsychol- ogy), licensed massage therapist, certified traumatologist and certified Project NatureConnect practitioner. “Planet Earth is what we, as part of a global community, have in common,” she adds. “We share a common destiny. The benefits of connection are immediate and deeply satisfying, including, but not limited to, a sense of calm, peace, connectedness, awareness, grati- tude, wholeness and joy!”
