Seeking Whole Health Conf
Join us at the 2024 Seeking Whole Health Conference!
We believe you can build a healthy, vibrant life using the healing foods and natural remedies God created.
When you join us at the 2024 Seeking Whole Health Conference, you’ll be empowered and inspired to transform your health with the support of likeminded friends.
It’s all happening on Friday and Saturday, April 19-20 in Kidron, Ohio.
It can be a little intimidating to realize that no one is in charge of your health but you.
You probably know natural remedies and healthy foods are the place to start, but you may not be sure how to begin.
And if you have some experience, there’s always more to learn and explore.
But how do you get from where you are now to where you want to be without becoming totally overwhelmed, getting discouraged, or feeling all alone?
Maybe there’s a better way.
Think about what it would be like to
Join a group of like-minded people who are on this unconventional natural health path, just like you
Learn in a guilt-free and faith-filled atmosphere that leaves you encouraged and motivated instead of worried or fearful
Gain insight from seasoned, trustworthy leaders in the natural health community who want to help you feel your best
Suddenly you’re not figuring things out on your own anymore. You don’t feel like the oddball, and you’re hopeful about your health and your future.
It’s not a dream. And it’s waiting for you now.
Filled & Skilled Art Series With Artist, Tina Lawver

A note from your Instructor…
“So often, we are filled with great vision, but getting that vision onto a canvas or paper can create frustration. The issue is leveling up our artful skills so that can happen more easily.
The beginning and foundation of art is drawing. Just having a nugget of understanding proportions and values opens doors and sets us on pathways to creativity in so many ways.
We are already Filled with beautiful Vision - Let’s get skilled enough to pull it off.
I’ve experienced this breakthrough as an artist and I’m so excited to share it with you.” Tina

Artful Stories Tina Lawver
You’re invited to a very special, small group, intensive art workshop lead by professional artist and designer, Tina Lawver.
Art is the vehicle through which, Artist, Tina Lawver, has been able to tell lasting and, sometimes, life-changing stories for the past 35 years. The working together of what is chosen as the substrate, colors, brushstrokes, how the paint is laid down….all of the elements that make up a painting are like the words that make up a paragraph that eventually leads to a chapter, a story.
An image can be created that expresses a narrative before a word is ever spoken about it. Its truly powerful.
Tina has become acutely aware of the impact of how stories, authentically shared, have had on her life which has become a guiding motivation and inspiration that has been reflected in her work as an artist and creative. Whether she’s creating a painting or sourcing décor for a space, the inspiration before her is the story to be told.
All levels are welcome from experienced painters to those wonderful people who’ve never held a brush or applied paint before. You all can trust Tina and BOMA to provide an open, loving, and welcoming experience in which you can creatively thrive.

720 TIMED ENTRY FAQs:
WHY ARE TICKETS REQUIRED FOR HOLIDAY (INDOOR) EVENTS?
720 Markets are extremely well-attended events. Because of this, we have introduced a staggered entry time program for Holiday shows to help us plan for and manage attendee arrivals to avoid long lines to park and wait times for vendor shopping.
HOW CAN I GET TICKETS?
Guests simply claim a ticket through the Eventbrite link on individual event page and select their preferred arrival time.
CAN I ARRIVE AT A TIME DIFFERENT THAN I RESERVED?
We ask that you choose the arrival times closest to when you can come. If something comes up and your arrival time changes, we would accept your ticket when you arrive.
HOW DOES THIS HELP 720 MARKET MANAGE ATTENDEES?
This program lets us keep track of expected attendees numbers and helps with controlling crowds, traffic and parking. Our guests and vendors love the timed flow of crowds.
DO I NEED TO CHECK IN AT ENTRY?
We always love to welcome guests to 720 shows and hand vendor maps out and will gladly check your printed or mobile ticket at our welcome tables!

Emily Presley of Harmony Wellness Nutrition is a Certified Holistic nutrition who is passionate about helping people find the harmony in their lives with their health. From a young age she struggled with multiple autoimmune diseases, has seen countless medical professionals, and more western medicine than she could name. Until she pursued a different approach to ‘medicine’ and her health took a drastic shift. I LOVE her victory story (and her).

He not only has cooked around the world, created his own award winning recipes, but he and his wife are the proud owners of Second Chance homestead. Where he raises his own animals and gardens his own herbs and veggies for the most nutritious and delicious culinary experience.
