programs and inner happiness
will be the focus of the first Enrichment
& Wellness Festival, a free community
event being held Sunday, July 26, at Adat
Shalom Synagogue, 29901 Middlebelt

The festival is the brainchild of Dr.

empower attendees," says Francis. "We
have so many talented, forward-
thinking experts in our com-
munity who can assist and edu-
cate people about how to live
more peacefully and healthfully
with less stress and fear as well as
with more joy and abundance."
The event has been designed to gen-
erate empowering conversations around
self-esteem, financial stability, raising
families, aging and health.

ing to make the Enrichment & Wellness
