  • Sunday hours are extended to 6:00 PM! (Booths must remain open until closing time or risk not being invited back.)

  • NO REFUNDS unless your application is denied. We reserve the right to limit vendors in a particular category or for any reason.

  • PROMOTION: We list all vendors on our website, on at least one social media post, and on a handout given to attendees at the Expo. 

  • NEW POLICY ON HELPERS: One helper PER BOOTH, PER DAY (two per double booth) can be admitted free to work at your table. They will receive a generic pass with your business name, but we will need their names for admittance. (Names can be given in the application or emailed to vendors@enlightenedsoulexpo.com by September 27). For one additional helper per booth beyond those allotted, you may pay a helper fee of $5 with your application. More than two helpers per booth will pay the standard admission fee.

  • SPONSORSHIP: We now offer Sponsorship Opportunities that can increase the visibility of your business at the Expo! There are various levels of perks, depending upon the monetary donation, from being included on print ads, extra social media posts, or on the At-a-Glance handout to exclusive sponsorship of a physical area of the Expo. Please see the link below to download the Sponsorship document for more information or inquire with Lori Irvin, Sponsorship & Outreach Coordinator, at (810) 820-0494 or sponsors@enlightenedsoulexpo.com

  • LOCATION OPTIONS at Southfield Pavilion (our first time in this new venue!): 
    A limited number of Small Booths will be located on the west side of the Pavilion. They are smaller and cheaper booths; two chairs are provided, but tables are not provided for small booths; one 6-foot table is recommended. Small Single Booths are 6' deep x 8' wide and Small Double Booths are 6' deep x 16' wide.
    Single Standard Booths are 10' deep x 10' wide; one 8ft table and two chairs are provided. Double Standard Booths are 10' deep x 20' wide; two 8ft tables and four chairs are provided

  • Those with Standard Booths who wish to order additional 8-foot tables can purchase them for $10 each.

  • READINGS: Vendors cannot offer readings at their booths. This is to preserve the integrity of the Reader Rooms. You can apply for an exception, if you offer something UNUSUAL that cannot conform to our 20-minute and 30-minute Reader Room procedures. If approved to offer readings, the READING COST CANNOT BE LESS than what our Reader Room charges, $1.65/minute. Please contact Amy at vendors@enlightenedsoulexpo.com to apply for an exception.

  • Booths are not to be shared by two unrelated companies. You may each purchase a single booth separately and ask to be placed next to each other. We also offer cheaper Small Booths that are very affordable for small vendors.

  • Electricity access is available for an additional $10 charge. Please bring your own power strips and extension cords to assure proper access, and duct tape to secure the cords to the floor.

  • Anyone primarily offering bodywork/energy work should apply instead as a Bodyworker. Bodyworkers are encouraged to bring a helper to take appointments while you are working and to explain what you offer.

  • VOLUNTEER PRIZE DONATION: We're asking everyone to donate a gift certificate or product to reward our volunteers. Gift certificates should be for full free offers — no coupons or discounts. If you are donating a product instead of a gift certificate, products should be chosen by you (instead of giving us a certificate asking the recipient choose), because sometimes the certificates are received too late for the volunteer to go to your booth. ALL donations should be brought to us at the Volunteer Office or given to the Vendor Coordinator or Vendor Assistant who make the rounds of the booths, so that we can allocate the right amount of certificates to cover our volunteers each day. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE YOUR DONATION DIRECTLY TO VOLUNTEERS unless these are "extra" donations, to reward a volunteer who has helped you, separate from the donation you give to the Volunteer Office. We will have blank certificates at the Expo for you to fill out, or feel free to bring your own.  Thank you for helping to support our hard-working volunteers!

  • Please do not light candles or incense, diffuse oils or sprays into the air, or use anything else scented — to respect those who have allergies or sensitivities. Demonstrations may be done only when visitors request or with the express permission of ALL your vendor neighbors (behind as well as on the sides and in front). WHEN IN DOUBT, please ask permission from the Vendor Coordinator.

  • For those who wish to stay overnight in Southfield, blocks of hotel rooms have been arranged for Expo weekend.
