Ballard Health Walk: a Neighborhood Tour of health & wellness resources June 23, 2007

When Ballard health and wellness businesses open their doors on Saturday afternoon, June 23rd, they will be offering free samples. Mini yoga classes, chair massage, ear acupuncture, naturopathic medicine and many more example services will be offered up to the public as part of Ballard Health Walk, presented by Sustainable Ballard. Described as "The Artwalk of Health," the Ballard Health Walk will include a mapped route of participating organizations and businesses who invite passers-by to learn more about the variety of health and wellness services in the neighborhood.

In a city inclined toward healthy living and preventative health care, Ballard is a resource-rich community -- and the energized neighbor-citizens of Sustainable Ballard want to show off the bounty of their community.

Sustainable Ballard's mission is to explore alternatives for self-reliance and create a "blueprint" of a sustainable community. A cornerstone of this model is recognizing the wealth of information, skills and opportunities available within the community, and usually, within walking distance.

Health resources will be easy to find from 1-4pm on June 23rd. So join your neighbors, get some fresh air, and take a health-filled tour of Ballard.
