Wish Jars: An Intention-Crafting Experience
with Amanda Scandrett of Sacred Circle Healing Art Studio
Pause, create, and connect with what you wish to call into your life.
In this relaxed, drop-in experience, you'll use a miniature glass jar to hold a written intention, wish, or dream, then fill it with a selection of crystals and herbs that symbolize and honour your intention.
Whether you're honouring a dream, setting an intention, or simply taking a mindful moment for yourself, you'll leave with a meaningful keepsake to carry with you beyond the festival.
No artistic experience is needed.
Drop in anytime during the session,
create at your own pace, and enjoy a quiet moment of creativity and reflection.
Ages 6 & Up - Children and youth must be
accompanied by an adult.
$10 per wish jar.

The Ultimate Healing Experience is a deeply immersive blend of healing modalities designed to support relaxation, release, and integration. This experience weaves together gentle movement, yin yoga, energetic healing, shamanic release breathwork, live sound, and an enveloping sound bath to create a supportive space for nervous system regulation, emotional release, and inner exploration. Each element works synergistically to help you reconnect with your body, quiet the mind, and access deeper layers of healing, leaving you grounded, restored, and integrated.
✨ This 2-hour journey includes:
Gentle movement & yoga
Yin yoga with sound healing
Shamanic Release Breathwork
Immersive surround sound bath
These practices are designed to calm the nervous system, open and balance energy, release what no longer serves, and create space for deep connection and renewal.
Whether you’re new to healing practices or already on your path, this is your invitation to pause, connect, and journey inward, supported by the synergy of these modalities and the power of community.
What to Bring: Yoga mat, water bottle, pillow, blanket, bolster, eye cover, journal, and any sacred items like crystals or meaningful objects that support your practice.

About the Higher Heart Chakra:
Your Higher Heart chakra (also known as the thymus chakra and other names) is a lesser known but important energy center that rests in between our heart and throat chakras and is linked to our thymus gland. It's related to our physical immunity, our aging process and also to our capacity for compassion, forgiveness, communication and connection. I believe that as a collective, and individually, we're working on clearing, purging and activating this chakra center. There is fascinating research that shows the thymus gland grows when we're happy and shrinks when we're stressed.
Is the secret to life and health (and staying young) about shifting your day-to-day routine to do more of the things you love and less of the things you don't? Maybe!
