In 1978 Coreen and Shanti Toll opened the Celebration New Age Store at 2209 W. Colorado Avenue on the West Side of Colorado Springs. At the same time, Shanti & Coreen joined with other holistic businesses and people to create the New Age Network Coop. The New Age Network was created to produce psychic holistic fairs that supported the community of free-thinking and planetary-minded people. The early fairs were outside in parks with lots of music, homemade vegetarian chili, and an enthusiasm for the developing ideas of holistic lifestyle and health. Eventually the volunteer coop disappeared but Shanti continued to nurture the event and the fairs grew into the oldest and one of the best metaphysical fairs in the country.
In 1985 the Celebration Metaphysical Fair moved into its current home at the Colorado Springs Historic City Auditorium. In 1995, the Fairs expanded to Denver, finding a second home in the Denver Merchandise Mart. Over the years, we have had Keynote speakers including Linda Goodman, Scott Cunningham, Mary SummerRain, Raymond Moody, Stuart Wilde, Dan Millman, Doreen Virtue, Ted Andrews, and many many more. Despite all the famous people who have enlivened the Fair, it is our regular citizens who make this Fair really special and sustainable. The Metaphysical Celebration Fair continues to nurture its roots of community service, quality and value for our citizens, and a commitment to planetary family values.
The Fairs allow people from all walks of life and belief systems to safely explore modern metaphysics, holistic health, conscious living lifestyles, and intuitive readers and channellers. We are very focused on value and service, so we screen for quality, ethics and diversity. We are proud to be major supporters of creative lifestyles and planetary values.
Our seminars and workshops at the Fairs present the latest information and technique for positive personal change and metaphysical understanding of reality. The speakers vary from best-selling authors to readers and vendors who have spent much of their lives in holistic/spiritual research. All the money raised by the workshops are given to the presenters or donated to established charities.
