About us
Welcome! We're so glad you're here.
If you've been with us for a while, you may remember this community by its original name, Holistic Healing and Education of Greater Newburyport. As our community has grown beyond its original geographic roots and our vision has expanded, we've updated our name to better reflect where we're headed. While the name has changed, the heart of this community remains the same.
For nearly a decade, this community has brought people together through more than 140 workshops, gatherings, and educational events, creating opportunities to learn, connect, and explore holistic approaches to health, healing, personal growth, and conscious living.
Whether you're simply curious about holistic wellness, looking for practical tools to support your well-being, hoping to connect with like-minded people, or interested in discovering trusted holistic resources, you'll find a welcoming space here to learn, grow, and connect at your own pace.
## What You'll Find Here
Throughout the year, you'll find opportunities to:
• Explore holistic wellness approaches and complementary healing practices.
• Attend educational workshops, presentations, and interactive experiences.
• Learn practical tools that support emotional, physical, mental, energetic, and spiritual well-being.
• Meet guest practitioners, educators, and community leaders with diverse areas of expertise.
• Connect with others who value curiosity, respectful conversation, and lifelong learning.
• Discover new ideas, resources, and experiences that encourage healthier, more intentional living.
Our goal has always been to make holistic education approachable, welcoming, and accessible—whether you're just beginning your journey or have been exploring these topics for years.
## Connected to the Holistic Hive Directory
This community proudly serves as a companion to the Holistic Hive Directory, making it easier to connect education with action.
Many of the guest presenters, practitioners, businesses, organizations, makers, farms, and wellness resources featured through our events can also be found within the Directory, helping you continue discovering trusted, values-aligned resources beyond the events themselves.
As the Holistic Hive Directory continues to grow, Community Building Members may enjoy additional opportunities for community visibility, event promotion, and collaborative initiatives designed to strengthen our local holistic community. www.holistichivedirectory.com
## Our Community
This community is intentionally curated to encourage respectful interaction, authentic relationships, and educational experiences rooted in integrity. We welcome people from many different backgrounds, beliefs, and stages of their wellness journey who share a desire to learn, connect, and contribute positively to the community.
We believe that informed choice, genuine human connection, and a spirit of curiosity create healthier individuals, stronger communities, and lasting personal growth.
We hope you'll join us at an upcoming event!

We’ll be doing plenty of walking and spending a good amount of time on our feet, so comfortable clothing and supportive shoes are highly recommended.
Since we’ll be starting early and staying into the evening in November, dress for chilly weather and consider bringing layers so you can stay comfortable both inside and outside throughout the day.
Participants are responsible for their own meals, beverages, purchases, Expo admission, and other individual expenses.FAQ: DO I HAVE TO ATTEND THE WHOLE 13-HOUR DAY TRIP TO PARTICIPATE?
A: Not at all! You're welcome to arrive late or leave early. If your schedule differs from the group's, please arrange your own transportation and notify the organizer. You can also coordinate through our optional WhatsApp chat. We would be happy to connect with you once you are present!📱 EVENT-DAY COMMUNICATION
We’ll be using an optional WhatsApp group to help with carpool coordination, day-of updates, and finding one another at the Expo.
After you RSVP, you’ll receive the link to join.Please note that your phone number and WhatsApp profile information may be visible to other group members. If you’re not comfortable with that, no worries! You’re welcome to use our buddy system instead to stay connected and receive important day-of information.
Bringing a guest? If your guest would also like to join the WhatsApp group but is attending under your +1 rather than their own RSVP, please comment below with their first name and last initial so I know to approve their request to join. This helps us keep the group limited to registered attendees and their guests and prevents unknown accounts or bots from entering the chat.
