Love In Motion Free Family Festival & Autism Benefit

Oct. 4, 2009 - PRLog -- Breathing Room Yoga & Healing Arts Center presents "Love in Motion", a free family festival and benefit for families challenging autism, Saturday October 10th, 11am to 5pm in Frelinghuysen, NJ.

The free family festival will offer live music, healing body work, kids activities, community  resources, unique vendors and giveaways.   The "Move, Groove and Give-a-thon" is a chance to "exercise your conscience" and raise money through free yoga, belly dance or hooping classes.  Donations and sponsors will be gratefully accepted. All money raised through the Burton Armstrong Pierce Foundation will go towards creating a small learning center—a "beloved community where everyone is welcomed—and specifically, where individuals with autism and their families can come for relaxation, inspiration, intellectual stimulation and self-expression."

The event is the brainchild of two moms with autistic sons, Nancy Sierchio of "David Versus Autism" and Michele Burns Pierce, coauthor of "Danson: The Extraordinary Discovery of an Autistic Child's Innermost Thoughts and Feelings" featured on "Oprah" and "Larry King."  Cheryl Paulson, owner of Breathing Room Center wanted to practice "seva", the sandskrit word for service through her new yoga and healing arts center.  Paulson feels service "feeds us spiritually and awakens us to the greater truth of our own being.  It is work done for the community and others without a thought of reward". Hosting the benefit at the healing arts center was the perfect solution for Burns Pierce and Sierchio who were looking for a space to create an autism friendly community event.

Breathing Room Center is located at 735 Route 94 between Blairstown and Newton, next to Wilbur's Country Market.   Love in Motion Family Festival & Autism Benefit takes place October 10th from 11am-5 pm, rain or shine.  For event details log on to www.breathingroomcenter.com.
