Awareness Fest West: November 2-4 at Electric Lodge!

The Awareness Fest West Film Festival will be held at the Electric Lodge from November 2-4 of this year. This biannual fundraising event “primarily benefits the non-profit organization Heal One World“.

Heal One World seeks to educate people about preventative healthcare, non-traditional / complementary modalities, natural non-invasive treatments and self-help techniques for the body, mind and soul.

The festival is a “multi-media weekend festival that includes conscious film premieres, a bike-in outdoor film screening, multiple donation-based yoga classes, and health-oriented parties”.
