"Strategic Wellness: Self-Care for the Self-Aware"
Christine had a powerful dream to create a world-class day to celebrate
the magnificence and empowerment of women. With no experience, staff or
budget ... but with a clear vision, passion, belief (and a credit card!)
... WOW was born from the deepest part of her heart.
As a dynamic speaker, writer and consultant for over 20 years, Christine
has impacted thousands to healthier and happier lives and has been a frequent
media guest. As a true visionary, it's rather ironic that she was
diagnosed with a rare and incurable eye disease that was supposed to leave
her blind. She refused to accept the prognosis, and used it as a transformational
tool to deepen her understanding of the body-mind connection.
She shares her wisdom with a rather entertaining and playful energy,
and will leave you inspired with simple strategies for your own strategic
self-care and empowerment.
At WOW you will discover:
- Techniques to easily harness the untapped power of your mind
- Cellular rejuvenators for maximum energy, vitality and gorgeousness
- Natural brain-chemistry balancers to lower stress and strengthen focus
- An opportunity to feed your soul for profound relaxation and peace

minds, and by spreading his philosophy: "Life is MAGIC".
Over the years, Wayne has used hypnosis to excite, entertain and mesmerize
thousands of audiences across North America. He has performed over 2,500
shows and hypnotized over 25,000 people to explore the limits and power

"The Prosperity Panel"
This is a lively, authentic and interactive conversation with a panel of highly successful women who are living a life they love.
These women are inherently the same as all of us - and they face their own challenges and doubts just like anyone else. So what are these leaders believing, thinking and doing differently, that allows them to shine so brightly? How do they handle a bad day? What are their key belief systems and values that keep them on top?
And how do they make time for a LIFE?
Back by VERY popular demand, this dynamic discussion will be facilitated by Candace Newton. Visit her site to see personalinterviews with shining stars like Oprah's life partner Stedman Graham, Dr. Patch Adams, and of course WOW Founder Christine Awram!

Jacky Essombe African Dance & Drumming Team
A message from Jacky ...
"I dance because of the way it makes me feel. I do not perform to impress, but to touch people at their core. To inspire them. To share the beauty of life, of Africa. To connect with people at a deeper level. For me, beauty is not technical excellence. Technical excellence can impress, but it does not move the heart the same way. Inspiration does. Spontaneity does. Beauty does. Love does. For me, Africa is not a geographic location. It's in me. I carry it with me anywhere I go, and I share it with people who are longing for the experience that Africa can bring. I invite you to open your heart and feel Africa..."
