Discussions including Attention Deficit Disorder, the healing power of laughter, and alternative healing practices such as Reiki have all taken place at our Festival. Deeper causes of illness and the effectiveness of therapies were addressed along with a family health fair and our first Blood Drive. Journeys through hardship and healing were shared as we investigated the body as a sacred space.  

In 2000 we celebrated the fifth Festival of Faiths, taking a deep look Healing Mind, Body and Soul. We discussed the rise of Attention Deficit Disorder, the healing power of laughter, and encountered alternative healing methods such as Reiki. Guests including Diane Aprile, representatives from Hospice, Huston Smith and Dr. Clifford Kuhn joined us at our Family Health Fair and our first Interfaith Blood Drive.
