Flowermoon Festival

on Jan 24, 2025
So what's this flower moon festival all about? After nearly a decade of vending at events, we’re excited to take a big leap into the next chapter of our journey: creating our own wellness festival. In collaboration with my three soul sisters and Husband, we’re organizing a one-day event on May 18, 2025, that will bring together wellness, creativity, and community. This transition from participating in events to putting one on ourselves feels like a natural progression, and we’re thrilled to create an experience that blends personal growth with fun, relaxation, and connection. Our goal is to offer a space where people can explore wellness practices, shop for unique products, and discover tools they can incorporate into their everyday lives. As someone who’s been immersed in the world of vending, meeting incredible makers, creators, and wellness practitioners over the years, I’ve felt the magic of how people connect in these spaces. From customers discovering handmade products to attending transformative workshops, I’ve witnessed firsthand how powerful these events can be for igniting creativity, connection, and self-discovery. Now, it's our turn to create that magic on a larger scale. Our festival is meant to be a  celebration, one that will bring together wellness, fun, and tools for living a more grounded and balanced life. We're carefully curating a space that will inspire you to explore new practices, connect with like-minded individuals, and discover products that can support your journey. Whether you’re new to wellness or have been practicing for years, this event will offer something for everyone. Check out more: www.flowermoonfestival.com What to Expect: Yoga & Breathwork: Start your day with some movement and mindfulness. Our yoga classes will cater to all levels, and we’ll offer breathwork sessions designed to calm your nervous system and set an intention for the day ahead. These practices aren't just for the festival—they’re tools you can bring into your daily life to nurture your mind and body. Free Writing: If you’ve ever felt the urge to explore your inner thoughts through writing, we’ll be offering free writing classes designed to unlock creativity and self-expression. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or a beginner, these sessions will guide you in using writing as a tool for reflection, clarity, and emotional release. You’ll leave with newfound insights and a sense of connection to your higher self. Women's Circles: Our Women's Circles are a sacred space for women to come together, share, and support one another in a nurturing environment. These circles provide a chance to connect with other women on a deep, soul-level, offering a sense of belonging and community. Through guided discussions, intention-setting, and collective sharing, we create a space where you can be fully heard and seen, free from judgment. It’s an opportunity to reflect, express, and tap into the wisdom of the group. Whether you're seeking support, inspiration, or simply a safe place to be yourself, these circles are designed to help you reclaim your inner strength and connect with the power of sisterhood. Tarot: For those curious about the mysteries of tarot, we’ll have master practitioners on hand to guide you through the basics and beyond. Learn how to use tarot as a tool for self-discovery, gaining clarity and insight into different aspects of your life. Whether you’re looking to understand your past, present, or future, these sessions will help you tap into your intuition and uncover hidden wisdom. Sound Healing: Experience the transformative power of sound. Our sound healing sessions will feature practitioners using instruments like gongs, bowls, and tuning forks to create frequencies that promote deep relaxation and emotional healing. You’ll leave feeling lighter and more connected to your inner self. Ecstatic Dance: Let your body move freely to the rhythm of the music in our Ecstatic Dance sessions. This is a space where you can let go of inhibitions, release stress, and connect with your body in a deeply personal way. There’s no right or wrong way to move—just follow your intuition and let the music guide you. Ecstatic dance is about being fully present in the moment, freeing your mind, and allowing yourself to experience the joy of movement without judgment. It’s an invitation to shake off the weight of the world and reconnect with your inner flow. Cacao Ceremony: Join us for a transformative cacao ceremony, where we’ll guide you through a sacred experience centered around the heart-opening powers of ceremonial-grade cacao. Known for its ability to inspire deep emotional release and connection, cacao helps to unlock your heart, calm your mind, and foster a sense of unity. This ancient practice will help you reconnect with your own spirit, cultivate a sense of gratitude, and promote healing on an emotional level. Whether you’re new to cacao or have experienced its magic before, this ceremony will be an invitation to journey inward and connect with the collective energy of the group. and more to come.... Vendors with Unique Wares: Of course, what’s a festival without amazing vendors? We’ve handpicked some of the most unique creators, artisans, and wellness brands who will be showcasing their products. From crystal jewelry to organic skincare, healing herbs, and wellness tools, you’ll find treasures that can support your mind, body, and spirit. What We Want to Create: This festival is more than just a fun day out—it’s an opportunity to take something valuable home with you, whether it’s a new wellness practice, a tool for self-care, or a connection that could change your life. We want to offer an experience where people can not only learn and grow but also discover products and practices that fit seamlessly into their everyday routines. In a world that can feel overwhelming at times, our goal is to create a day of joy, relaxation, and meaningful connections. We’re not here to overwhelm you with too many things or a packed schedule. Instead, we want you to leave feeling grounded, inspired, and equipped with practical tools that you can incorporate into your life to improve your overall well-being. I’m so excited about what this event will bring to our community, and I can’t wait to see everyone come together to celebrate wellness, creativity, and fun. Join us on May 18, 2025, and let’s create something beautiful together. With love,BrandiCo-Founder of Spitfirelabs, Wellness Enthusiast & Festival Curator :)

Here’s a sneak peek into what Brandi’s new journey looks like: 1. Women’s Circles: Women’s circles are sacred spaces where women come together to share, support, and uplift one another. Brandi’s women’s circles will offer a safe, nurturing environment where participants can explore their inner landscapes, connect with their authentic selves, and share their stories in community. These circles are about creating deep bonds, learning from each other, and tapping into the transformative power of collective energy. 2.

Brandi and her soul sister Amanda are curating transformative retreats designed to help women reconnect with themselves, each other, and nature. These retreats will be immersive experiences that blend relaxation, personal growth, and deep connection.

A little bit about our creative Journey

A little bit about our creative Journey

on Jan 15, 2025
Welcome to Our Creative Journey: The Story of Brandi & Andy and how Spitfirelabs came to be.Hello, everyone! We’re Brandi and Andy, a husband-and-wife duo with a passion for creativity and craftsmanship. For about 11ish years now, we’ve been running our own laser engraving company, turning our artistic visions into stunning, unique pieces of art crafted from wood. We may not be social media gurus, but we’re excited to share our journey with you here!Our Artistic ApproachAt the Brandi wooden wall hanging, an intricate decor piece, or a thoughtful gift for loved ones. We are driven by the desire to produce art that resonates with people, adding a touch of beauty and individuality to their spaces. A Leap of FaithBefore we embarked on this creative path, we both worked in computer animation in the advertising industry. It was fulfilling work, but deep down, we felt that something was missing. We didn’t want to be a part of the cycle of selling items that people didn’t truly need. So, after much deliberation, we decided to make a leap of faith. Leaving behind our corporate jobs, we ventured into entrepreneurship with the goal of creating meaningful art that people would cherish. Why We Love What We DoOwning our laser engraving company has allowed us to explore our creativity while connecting with incredible customers who appreciate handmade artistry. It’s incredibly rewarding to see our creations find a home where they can bring joy and inspiration.Despite our initial struggles with social media (we admit—we’re still learning!), we believe in the power of storytelling through our art. We hope to use this blog as a platform to engage with you, share insights into our creative processes, offer tips and tricks, and showcase exciting projects we’re working on.Join Us on Our JourneyWe invite you to join us as we navigate the world of small business ownership and the creative arts. Together, we’ll explore new techniques, discuss our inspirations, and celebrate the many ways art enriches our lives. Your support means the world to us, and we look forward to building a community around our shared passion for creativity.Thank you for being a part of our journey. Stay tuned for more updates, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and maybe some fun DIY challenges along the way!With warmth and creativity,Brandi & Andy
