Check out Dispense Magazine and more at the Third Annual Mind, Body, Spirit Healing Expo

The Third Annual Mind, Body, Spirit Healing Expo will be held this weekend and Dispense Magazine is excited to be a part of the event again this year. We will be on hand both days, Saturday, Sept. 28 and Sunday, Sept. from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., offering information and handing out copies of the newest print issue. 

We’ll be hosting a panel discussion at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept 28. The topic is “Getting a Mental Health Diagnosis for Medical Marijuana Certification” – a discussion about the mental health issues that are qualifying conditions in PA’s medical marijuana program. Topics will include detailed info about anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, and other issues. Panelists include a mental health professional, Sara Makin of Makin Wellness; an anxiety patient and medical cannabis expert, Chad Rodman of Medical Marijuana Solutions; and a pharmacist from a local dispensary, Richard Greer, Pharmacist at Solevo Wellness. The discussion will be hosted by Sven Hosford, Founder and Publisher of Dispense Magazine. If you have any questions about the process or the stigma of getting a diagnosis for a mental health condition, this discussion is for you.

Visitors to the Expo will have direct access to hundreds of products and services as this weekend of inspiration will be packed with more than 100 vendors offering everything from Reiki, Tarot, and Reflexology to Animal Healing, Paranormal, Naturopathy, Crystals, and Holistic Living. There are more than 20 mini-lectures, seminars, and presentations planned for the event including many inspiring, comforting and illuminating speakers covering a variety of topics.

Walk and experience the 40’x40’ Labyrinth, visit and enjoy the Himalayan Salt Room, and spend some quest time in the Intention Garden.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to watch (and smell), Erik Asher, a disabled Veteran who is featured in our newest issue and on our most recent podcast, and two of his friends press legal cannabis and hemp flower. They will be demonstrating how to TRIPLE the yield of cannabis flower with the use of the rosin press.
