Gathering of Light Wellness Expo T
ften children realize that they have misplaced the knowledge of how to choose peace over anxiety.
Perhaps this is because of the expansive responsibilities of impending adulthood. On November 5, from 1 to 3 p.m., Kathrine Mitchell—in-
tuitive counselor, clairvoyant, artist and facilitator of peace for more than three decades—will be conducting the Peaceful
Toys and Games from the Attic and Beyond
A
wonderful fun-filled exhibit for people of all ages. See more than
aking an afternoon to explore what wellness looks like from a physical, spiritual and planetary perspective could be one of the most important things you do for yourself. Gathering of Light Interspiritual Fellowship of- fers this at its 11th annual Wellness Expo on November 5, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., in Melville. This year’s lineup of speakers, food, vendors,
workshops, healers, psychics and prizes promises to be the best yet. The main attraction is the three speakers:
David Young, Bobbi Allison and Larry Glenz. Young is a twice Grammy-nominated musician, healer, channel, artist and author of three books. It is said that people
have out-of-body experiences while listening to his music. He will do a workshop on dream interpretation, because your dreams can tell you a lot about the level of your wellness. Allison is a renowned medium who has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show. She has the unique ability to read the future of her clients, receive messages from their deceased loved ones and put them on the path of spiritual enlightenment. A natural teacher, she uses her gifts to touch people with love in a way that inspires them to embrace their own gifts and share them with others. Glenz is the author of the book and soon-to-be movie Forgiving Kevin, a Son’s Addiction Becomes a Father’s Healing.
Cost: $10 per person; children under 12 are free. Location: 95 Old Country Rd., Melville. For more information, visit

150 toys, games and a gallery of posters explaining their origins. Legos, Frisbees, Beanie Babies, POGs, Barbies, Lionel trains, Star Wars collectibles, antique dolls, Hess trucks, Victorian toys, Mr. Machine, a Cabbage Patch Kid doll from Congresswoman Grace Meng, and on and on. Every visitor gets a copy of the National Toy Hall of Fame Register. The exhibit runs through June 2017 at the 230-year-old landmarked Kingsland Homestead in Weeping Beech Park at 143-35 37th Avenue, Flushing—the headquarters of Queens Historical Society (QHS). Also on display is a beautiful panoramic history of the Kingsland Homestead and the families that lived in it. Why toys? “At a time when there is
so much stress and turmoil in the world and in our lives, I thought it would be refreshing to offer an interlude of pleas- ant nostalgia with a chance to look back at the toys and games of our youth— and perhaps to bring children to share these wonderful experiences,” says Joe Brostek, QHS trustee and exhibit curator. The exhibit can be viewed dur- ing regular museum hours (Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m.) or by appointment. Public transportation is recommended, as there is limited street parking. During the exhibit, the museum can be rented out for birthday parties.
Cost: Adults, $5; seniors and students, $3; children under 12, free; QHS members, free. For complete informa- tion about the many buses, trains, municipal parking, etc., and for more information on the exhibit, visit
