Wellness event a whole-person experience

What are you doing this Saturday? Will you be taking care of yourself, your spirit, and your heart? Youre invited to do all three by attending Heart of Wellness, an event that will enrich your mind, body and spirit.

This fifth installment of the popular local series created by wellness advocate David Sauro infuses music, wellness information, videos and talks centered on Lessons for the Heart, not to mention fantastic live music from Barnstables own Alicia Mathewson.

Sauro created Heart of Wellness in April 2013 as a workshop program. After seeing Mathewson perform at a Dancing for a Cure event, he realized he needed to include music in his Heart of Wellness events.

Her songs were very touching, very moving, said Sauro. We invited her to sing at HOW No. 3.

Sauro said that sound is a healing element and a perfect accompaniment to the lessons for the heart that each event aims to convey to attendees.

Were looking to teach simple health values such as drinking more water, eating fresh foods, exercise, he said. Simple things that we think will help peoples health.

The event will be a mix of music performed by Mathewson and fellow musicians Marcia Wytrwal, choral director at Barnstable High School, and her partner, John Dirac, wellness videos, and short talks, and will be hosted by Barnstable High Principal Pat Clark, a longtime supporter of Heart of Wellness.
