The Hearts Afire Gathering, cohosted by Day Vibes, promises a two-day immersion into the creative and healing arts from August 17 and 18 at the Amethyst Retreat Center, in Duncannon. With options for camping, this festival is designed to be a haven for those seeking both adventure and tranquility.

“This event is a sanctuary where live music, vibrant artistry and holistic practices unite to awaken your spirit and rejuvenate your soul,” says Day Vibes founder Jess Lupacckino.

The festival features musical performances by Cassy Yost, Wayward Giants and Winter Parks. Attendees will experience live art, interactive community pieces and sound baths, described by Lupacckino as “gentle waves soothing your mind, healing your body and elevating your spirit to new heights.”

Workshops and demonstrations will offer paths to self-exploration, while an array of vendors will provide artisan crafts and holistic wellness products. “Connect with like-minded souls on their own journeys, yet united in the quest for healing and inspiration,” adds Lupacckino.

As night falls, the gathering will transition into a bonfire and drum circle, fostering reflection and community. With limited space available, securing tickets early is recommended.
