NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - March 10, 2008 - Media Alert - Imagine an event where Amy
Brenneman discusses how toxic chemical and environmental pollutants affect children; Ed Begley, Jr. inspires hope for the future, while

everybody moving, as she leads an interactive freestyle hula-hoop
extravaganza - Hoopnotica!
All of this and much more awaits you at this year's Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo, the premier natural parenting and family expo, taking place May 17-18, 2008 at Highland Hall Waldorf School in Northridge.

need for guidance and education in the community. "My hope is that the
Expo offers families a type of handbook for building positive role
models, both within children, and adults, which will help create
empowered balanced families, and a healthier planet for our future."
