UPCOMING EVENTS
WHAT TO EXPECT
Sacred and fun. At the same time.
Soul Fair exists to help you come home to yourself and to each other. It is four hours designed around one premise: that the soul remembers what the mind has forgotten, and that remembering happens best in the presence of others.
The evening moves through live music and local food. Seven creative and reflective stations designed as doorways back to the soul, led by local community healers and activists. All of it woven into a single arc that meets you wherever you are and takes you somewhere deeper. Pizza and a planting ritual. Henna and a sound bath. Ice cream and a mirror work station. Depth and joy are not opposites here. They never were.
You do not need to have done breathwork. You do not need to know what somatic means. You do not need to be spiritual. You just need to be willing to show up.
The design of the evening is itself the invitation. The spatial arc moves from the periphery (food, music, casual warmth) toward the center, where mats are laid, and the room becomes one body. Nobody is forced inward. The architecture invites it. By the time the bell sounds, something has already shifted. That shift is not an accident. It is how Wayfinding practices the thing most healing spaces only talk about: community as the mechanism through which healing completes itself.
THE ARC OF THE EVENING
Five phases. One journey.
Soul Fair is not a collection of activities. It is a single experience with a beginning, middle, and end. You will feel the shift without needing to name it.
4:00 PM
Threshold
Arrival. You are greeted personally. A welcome mocktail from Lenguas is your first gift. Live music is playing. The marketplace is alive. You cross into a different space.
4:30 PM
Exploration
All seven Pathway stations are open. Move at your own pace through journaling, mirror work, connection, planting, release, and creative expression. An opt-in movement session is offered. Nobody is herded. Freedom, not obligation.
5:45 PM
The Gathering
A bell sounds. The music fades. Drew moves to the center. He names the season, names his own truth, and invites the room into what comes next. A poet offers spoken word. The bridge between words and body. This is the hinge of the evening.
6:00 PM
The Practice
The heart of the evening. Guided grounding, collective movement, a shared gesture, and a closing sound bath. People on mats as the light shifts. Candles and string lights alive. The whole room becomes one body.
6:45 PM
The Release
Slow rise. Music returns. Ice cream arrives. People linger, connect, and let the evening settle. The real relationships form here.
THE SEVEN PATHWAYS
Seven pathways. Your pace.
Each Pathway is an experiential station designed for the Spring Equinox. You choose which ones call to you. All are self-paced. None requires experience.
1
Learning & Wisdom
Journaling & reflection with guided equinox prompts.
2
Heart
Mirror work & body liberation. Meeting yourself with compassion.
3
Embodiment
Movement session & collective Practice. The body as compass.
4
Community
The Table. Sit across from a stranger, become community.
5
Ritual
Plant an intention in soil. Take it home. Watch it grow.

Liberation
Name what you are releasing. Dissolve it or record it and let it go.
7
Creativity
Compose an intentional bouquet. Each flower carries meaning.
COMMUNITY CONTRIBUTORS
Food. Music. Bodywork. Community
Local makers, healers, and artists fill the space all evening — and every vendor keeps 100% of their sales.

Access to healing should not be a luxury. Soul Fair's Collective Investment model ensures the people most impacted by systemic harm do not face the highest barriers to the practices that support their wellbeing.
Soul Fair is where people feel the model in their body.
Everything after gives them the language for what happened.
WHAT IS SOUL FAIR
Not a wellness event. A civic ritual.
Soul Fair is the signature quarterly gathering of the Wayfinding Collective. It is the open door to the ecosystem, where people encounter the model for the first time, not through language or explanation, but through direct lived experience. Each edition is coded to the season it honors. The season is not a decoration. It is the emotional and philosophical spine of the entire evening.
The evening enacts the Wayfinding developmental arc: Awaken, Integrate, Remember. You move through it without needing to name it. The seven Pathway stations are doorways into this arc. The collective Practice is where it lands in the body. The lingering afterward is where it enters a relationship.
Awaken
Seeing what has been running unconsciously. The shock of recognition. Awareness makes change visible.
Integrate
Meeting what surfaces in the body and in relationships. Not just insight but embodied change. Reorganization makes change stable.
Remember
Uncovering what was always there. You are not becoming someone new. You are returning to what was buried. Embodiment makes change real.
THE SEASONAL CALENDAR
Four gatherings. Four seasons. One spiral.
MARCH
Spring Equinox
Emergence. What has been growing in the dark is ready to break through.
JUNE / JULY
Sumer Solstice
Fullness. Celebration, aliveness, community in full expression. Family-friendly.
SEPTEMBER
Fall Equinox
Harvest. What has been tended is now ready to be gathered.
DECEMBER

WORKSHOPS & GATHERINGS
More ways in. Coming soon.
WHO HOLDS THE SPACE
Drew Wiggins
Drew is the founder of Wayfinding Collective and the person who will greet you at the door. By name if he knows it. With warmth if he does not. He built Soul Fair because he believes the people most ignored by the wellness industry deserve the deepest work, and because he knows from his own life that healing that stays private cannot reorganize what was wounded in a relationship.
He is a trauma-informed educator, somatic practitioner, and depth coach with doctoral-level clinical training in trauma, attachment, and identity. He is certified in Somatic Experiencing and is an ongoing student within the Tantric Himalayan yogic tradition. He has spent nearly a decade in his own therapeutic work and continues, because he refuses to ask anyone to go somewhere he is not willing to go himself.
During Soul Fair, Drew moves through the space relationally, reading the room the way a navigator reads the water. When the bell sounds, he speaks from the center. During the sound bath, he is on a mat like everyone else. After The Practice, he is present. Not performing availability. Genuinely available. The deepest trust forms in the lingering.
AFTER SOUL FAIR
Soul Fair is the open door. Within days of March 29th, the full Wayfinding ecosystem opens: weekly embodied classes, the Foundational Path (a seven-month cohort journey through the Wayfinding model), and depth coaching with Drew. If something moves you on the 29th, there is somewhere to go with it. This is not a one-night experience. It is the beginning of a spiral.
You do not need to know what you are walking into.
You just need to walk in.

Community is not the container for healing.
Community is the mechanism through which healing completes itself.
