Learn powerful intentions for well-being with information and inspiration from 60-plus healing artists and peace-makers at the second annual Intention Fest, a free peace and wellness festival to take place from noon to 5 p.m. on October 1, 2023, in Saugatucket Veterans Memorial Park, in Wakefield, Rhode Island. Those that may be suffering from illness or are just curious about self-healing methods will especially benefit from the event.

Attendees will experience relaxation, relief, peace and healing from practitioners of massage, reiki, coherent field technology and more. Free classes in yoga, the Feldenkrais method, tai chi, drum circles and meditation will also be held along with products and consulting in energy work, sound and light flowers, honey and plant medicine, Shamanism, maternity and reproductive health, mental health, nature and the environment, nutrition and healthy eating, physical body work, movement yoga and wellness.

There’ll also be acoustic music and singing, hand drumming, painting peace rocks and making peace flags; Karen Stackow of Art’s Affect to engage kids; Eco-Art Wellness programs with Beth Adoette; and a songwriting workshop at 3:45 p.m. led by Rhode Island music icon Mark Cutler.

“With our intentions, we can bring more healing and peace to ourselves, our communities and the world and become informed and inspired to live a life of peace and wellness,” says event promoter Autumn Francesca.
