The House of Now in downtown Courtenay is hosting a MARS fundraiser to celebrate the opening of its new treatment centre.
The studio has expanded its team of trainers and instructors with the addition of eight therapists.
A wide variety of classes, including somatics, children’s yoga, parent consultations, iridology and sample therapeutic massage treatments (to name a few) will be available by voluntary donation.
All proceeds will go to MARS (Mountainaire Avian Rescue Society) for the installation of a much needed flight pen. The flight pen will be used for the conditioning of large birds of prey to be released back to the wild.
