Hi, my name is Mary Alderman and I am the organizer of the Holistic Mystic Fair. The concept of the fair came to be on a trip home from visiting schools when my daughter Jessica was getting ready for college. I wanted something I could do to occupy my mind while my daughter was away at school. Not that I had nothing to do, I have a full time job, a house to keep, a husband of over 30 years and two cats. I have recently completed my third degree in Usui Reiki, and I am an independent Scentsy Consultant.
I have always been fascinated with anything mystical and magical, but I knew that this would not be enough to interest the general public. I also had decided that when I grow up I would like to be a master herbalist. So my love of natural medicines and alternative healing grew into an idea to bring to our area something that was not readily available. I had been to a psychic fair and decided that I could do something like this on a larger scale, and I have.
The first fair was November 2006 in Augusta, Maine. Since the humble beginning at the Holiday Inn in Augusta, we have had two fairs a year one in the spring, one in the fall. I added one in the Portland area in 2009 but was not happy with the results. In 2010 I co-organized the Topsham Brunswick Holistic Health Fair and in 2011 we launched an Auburn Fair in the fall. I would be interested in organizing a fair in the Bangor area if the right opportunity presented itself.
Blessings, Mary
