It is with regret that we are cancelling our 8th Annual Spring Enlightened Soul Expo, which was scheduled for March 28-29, 2020 at Saline Middle School, due to the coronavirus outbreak. We personally don't feel fear about the coronavirus, but it’s important to do this for safety reasons.
We hoped there would be no confirmed cases in Michigan until after the expo, and that we could still host the event, but we now have some confirmed coronavirus cases in the state and the number is growing by the hour, as more tests are being done and confirmed. Because of the confirmed cases, the governor gave a TV address on March 11 and advocated that gatherings of 100+ people be canceled. On the same day, the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic.
Our major universities are closing in favor of online classes, as well as events comparable to ours, so we feel we must comply with the state's recommendations. The Saline Schools (site of our spring expo) would be on their spring break during our expo, so if/when they make a decision to close, it would not impact us. Their famous Craft Show scheduled at the building for March 14 is cancelled.
We would not feel comfortable potentially contributing to the community spread by hosting a large gathering of up to 2000+ people. Attendees may have health issues or carry the virus home to someone who does. A large number of our attendees and participants fall into the at-risk age range, which is an area of concern. We feel it would be a very heavy weight on us if we had the expo and people became ill as a result of attending, even though statistics show that 80% of those who contract the virus would experience mild symptoms.
Even if we held the event, feeling no panic about the virus, there is also public perception. Many potential attendees might stay away because of the fear of exposure. It’s likely that our attendance numbers would be way down. We already had some vendors and volunteers contacting us to cancel, even before the announcement of cases in Michigan was made.
It’s not possible to reschedule the Spring Expo to a late spring or early summer date, because we aren’t sure when the virus will have moved through enough of the population to be considered appropriate to have large gatherings again. And at that point in the calendar, we start getting close to our Fall Expo. We will not know the date of our Spring 2021 show at Saline Middle School until sometime in July.
So instead, we plan to transfer booth and table fees to our Fall Expo, on September 26-27, 2020 at the Southfield Pavilion in Southfield, Michigan. We anticipate that many, if not all, of our vendors/bodyworkers/readers will join us there. To avoid confusion, after this expo's date has passed, in April we will open up registration for the Fall Expo at this website.
For those who live nearby and attend the Enlightened Soul Center in Ann Arbor, you should know that the Enlightened Soul Center will be open as usual, and in fact more people may be in need of the upliftment and high-vibrational energy that we can offer during these times. Learn more at: http://www.EnlightenedSoulCENTER.com. Keep an eye on the Center’s website or Facebook page (www.facebook.com/enlightenedsoulcenter) for the latest updates on Center activities.
Be well! Namaste,
The Enlightened Soul Expo Team
