Raise Your Vibe at Hawley Spring Event

Personal and community transformation is being offered through Raise the Vibe, an all-inclusive spiritual intensive weekend taking place March 9 through 11 at Woodloch Resort, in Hawley, Pennsylvania.

The all-inclusive event will be facilitated by Ataana, author, energy and crystal healer, singer/songwriter and intuitive. Workshops will include Prosperity Healing Mantras, Transformation Through Sacred Inner Dialogue, Living in the Oneness, Onement Guided Meditation and Awakening to Your Higher Vibration.

Raise The Vibe events are sponsored by the Empowered Light Holistic Expo and feature engaging workshops that focus on deeper understanding. Expo founder Sue Greenwald adds, “Raise the Vibe will be a profound spiritual transformation for the attendees. Energetic changes will start immediately and be lasting. Energetic blockages will be cleared from each guest, allowing for deeper expansion. One of the most powerful ways we have to create transformation is when we are together, in community.”

A two-night stay at the Woodloch Resort includes six healthy meals and access to the resort’s activities; spa treatments and golf are additional. The resort fee is $420. A full ticket for all spiritual workshops is $700.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
