Prince George, B.C. -  Laughter Yoga, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Aromatherapy massage...if you've ever wanted to investigate some of these alternative wellness therapies, the 2nd Annual Wellness Event is offering you a chance.

Day two of the event runs from 10am until 5pm at the Civic Centre today.  Zen Garden owner, Kareen Pelletier, organized the event as a low-pressure way for people to check out healing techniques like massage, tune fork healing, or card reading.

She says, "Some people don't want to go into a wellness centre, but they want to take a step and this is that low-threshold step because it's safe -- there's a lot of stuff going on, so they can easily leave (without feeling uncomfortable)."

Some of today's workshops include: Laughter Yoga at 12pm, the Basics of Energy Medicine at 2pm and 'Family Wellness' with local chiropractor, Dr. Travis Morgan, at 3pm.

Pelletier says participants will walk away from the workshops with, "Some really basic tools, simple exercises to help you stay grounded, together, and clear."
