Come see Florence Grunfelder, from Money with Flo, speak about developing a positive relationship with money and manifesting abundance in your life.  She will ask questions like: Do you feel lack of money is holding you back from living the life you truly want?  Does the thought of paying your bills make you feel overwhelmed and anxious?  At the end of the month, do you wonder “Where did my money go?”  In this fun, (yes fun!), interactive and hands-on workshop, you will:

• Explore your underlying attitudes, beliefs and fears about money and see how they impact your bank account.
• Learn how to build a “prosperity” mind frame
• Find out which of your personal “money messages” are blocking abundance from entering into your life
• Acquire practical tools and techniques to quickly get out of debt and boost your cash flow.
• Discover how to align your money thoughts, words and actions so that you can easily manifest abundance

Love to swap, share and recycle? We’re delighted to announce that Sage Fair will be welcoming a swap to our awesome list of highlights!

Toronto-based Swapsity.ca, a Canadian swapping site, will be presenting its popular Book Movie Music Eco-Swap at our fair. You might have already seen them getting Torontonians swapping around the city.

To date, their Eco-Swaps have helped to recycle over 8,000 media items, swap more than 6,000 of those, and save Torontonians over $45,000. Isn’t that fantastic?

To get swapping, bring your pre-loved books, DVDs, CDs, Blu-rays and records to the Sage Fair and have fun browsing through tables of swap-worthy entertainment gems. The swap is a perfect opportunity to go treasure hunting, recycle, de-clutter and get value out of your unwanted stuff. Visit www.swapsity.ca/SwapZone for all of the swapping guidelines.

Swapsity is Canada’s leading swapping community. They are actively building a vibrant swapping economy and engaging people in Collaborative Consumption. Why do they (and we) love swapping so much? It saves money, creates a sense of community, helps the planet and it’s a lot of fun.

Swapping is the new currency. Why use cash or credit when you can swap?

We are so proud to have them at Sage Fair and we hope to recycle thousands of swappables at the event, so start digging for your books and media to join in the recycling fun!

Live Green Toronto Membership Card holders who participate in the swap will be able to receive one bonus media item, while supplies last. For example: card holders who drop off five items, will be able to pick up six items. You must present your membership card and bring at least 1 media item to do this. More details at www.swapsity.ca/SwapZone
