By November 25, 2007News, People & Events

A LARGE group of local and foreign delegates will participate in the 5th Holistic Festival, in celebration of “Holistic Health and Wellness Day,” which will be held on February 15 to 17, 2008 at the Villa Jireh Holistic Resort Hotel, Uyong, in Labrador.

Festival chairperson, Helyn Escaño said the event was originally set for November this year, but organizational requirements to accommodate more participants forced its postponement to February.

The Holistic Movement promotes a balanced lifestyle among people in close communion with nature and protection of the environment.

The vital role of nature not only in day-to-day living but also in the healing of diseases has resulted in the widespread use of herbal medicines and food supplements, vegetarian cooking and other ways to harness natural, indigenous resources to maintain and enhance the well-being of people.

The Holistic Festival will further draw national and international attention on Pangasinan as a leading tourist, healing and holistic center in the whole country, Escaño said.

Escaño heads an international Holistic Movement which has been adopted as a major component of tourism programs in many countries in Europe and the more advanced economies of Asia.

She said many Pangasinan communities, especially those which own world-class natural attractions, are just waiting to be fully developed for worldwide promotions.—PIO
