The Whole Children, Whole Planet Expo is the premier natural parenting and family expo that introduces and educates families, professionals and friends about the benefits of sustainable living practices, non-toxic products, organic foods, holistic medicine and enrichment learning programs. Our mission is to educate the community about important health and environmental issues and provide them with the resources and tools necessary to protect their families, and the planet.

WCWP Expo is the brainchild of Kathy Arnos, a California-based mother, editor of Eco Family News, author and producer, who recognized a need for guidance and education in the community. "My hope is that the Expo offers families a living handbook for inspiring children and adults to become positive role models who will help create empowered, balanced families and a healthier planet for our future."
