Wishing Star Farm & Wellness

<h2>Community Sound Bath | Every Thursday</h2>
Step into a shared space of rest, resonance, and reconnection.
Every Thursday, we gather as community for an immersive sound bath designed to help you soften out of the noise of daily life and return to your natural rhythm. These evenings are less about “doing” and more about being — being held by sound, stillness, and collective presence.
Using Himalayan singing bowls, symphonic gong, and grounding sound textures, this one-hour meditative journey invites the nervous system into a deeply restorative state. As the vibrations move through the body, many experience a sense of spaciousness similar to the dream or REM state — where the mind quiets, the body unwinds, and the system remembers how to reset.
Sound healing is an ancient practice known to support:
<ul><li>Stress relief and nervous system regulation</li><li>Emotional processing and mental clarity</li><li>Deep rest, integration, and energetic alignment</li></ul>
Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, emotional heaviness, creative fatigue, or simply craving a gentle pause mid-month, this offering is here to meet you exactly where you are.
Each gathering is held inside Wishing Star's beautiful barn space, transformed into a warm, cozy sanctuary. You’re invited to arrive as you are, settle in, and allow yourself to be supported — by the sound, the space, and the shared field we create together.
This is a place to slow down, breathe deeper, and remember you don’t have to carry everything alone.
<h2>About the Facilitator</h2>
Bridgette Jester is the founder of Crown Creator Studios and a Sound Healing Practitioner, Licensed Massage Therapist, Thai Bodywork Practitioner, Reiki Practitioner, and Registered Yoga Teacher. With over seven years of experience holding therapeutic and ceremonial space, Bridgette weaves ancient sound practices with modern nervous system awareness to create grounded, accessible, and deeply restorative experiences.
Her sound baths are intentionally crafted to support regulation, embodiment, and remembrance — offering participants a safe container to rest, release, and reconnect with their inner wisdom.
<h2>What to Bring</h2>
<ul><li>Yoga mat, floor cushion, or folding chair (We’ll be lying down or seated for the hour — comfort is key. Chairs are always welcome.)</li><li>Bug Spray in the warm months</li><li>Blanket(s) as desired</li><li>Pillow or bolster</li><li>Eye pillow (optional but lovely)</li><li>Water</li><li>Layers — the barn is heated, but extra coziness is encouraged in the colder months</li><li>An open heart and curious mind</li></ul>
<h2>Energy Exchange</h2>
Sliding Scale: $33–$55
This offering is priced intentionally to support accessibility while honoring the depth of care, experience, and energetic exchange.

Harford Community College, Chesapeake Theater

Join us for Jeff Allen: My First "Final" Farewell Tour on Friday, September 25 at the Chesapeake Theater located in the Chesapeake Welcome Center at Harford Community College. The performance begins at 7:30 PM. There is also an option for a separate dinner that will take place at 6 PM. Dinner tickets should be purchased by September 22. The dinner ticket does not include beer/wine, but there will be a cash bar. Non-alcoholic beverages will also be available.
Jeff Allen may not want to admit it, but he’s getting old. At 69, he’s eyeing 70 and thinking about slowing down. That’s why he’s kicking off My First Final Farewell Tour -- “first” and “final” because he’s not entirely sure he’s done. What he is sure of: a show packed with fan favorites and new material, from his classic “Happy Wife, Happy Life” to fresh takes on marriage and family. One of America’s most beloved comedians, Jeff has nearly 1 billion online views and seven Dry Bar Comedy specials. He’s appeared on America’s Got Talent, The Today Show, Comedy Central, and more—but he’s best experienced live. 
Purchase tickets at <a href="https://www.harfordevents.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">https://www.harfordevents.com/</a>. Tickets for the show only start at $48. 
Harford Community College is committed to promoting the full participation of all individuals with disabilities at the event. For disability-related accommodations, call 443.412.2211 two weeks in advance. 
This event is supported by the Maryland State Arts Council and the Harford County Cultural Arts Board.
