In the heart of winter, as the mountains rest beneath snow and silence, Lights in the Valley gathers the luminous healers, intuitives, and artists of the Gunnison Valley for a weekend of reconnection, renewal, and discovery.
January 30th 3:00pm - 6:30pm & January 31st 10am-6pm
Fred Field Center - Gunnison, CO
This indoor event invites the community to explore the depth of healing and spiritual wisdom that already lives among us. Visitors can experience mini sessions with local practitioners — from intuitive readings to massage, astrology, sound healing, and energy work.
The fair is FREE TO ATTEND and offers an opportunity to meet the valley’s healers, learn their gifts, and experience how our collective light strengthens when we come together.
Paid workshops will about 1 hour long and take place in an adjoining space and under a tent transformed into a sanctuary for small group process. These sessions range from guided meditation and breathwork to creative ritual and somatic healing. Classes offered freely as community gifts are typically 30 mins.
More than a fair, Lights in the Valley is a convergence — a shared altar for the people who carry light in their hands and hearts. It’s an invitation to gather warmth in the cold season, to support one another’s callings, and to remember that healing multiplies when it is shared.
A valley-wide Healing Arts Directory is taking shape. This year’s fair offers a first glimpse of some of the practitioners and modalities that will soon be available in one shared place — so you can explore, connect, and arrive ready.
ABOUT THE HEALING ARTS FAIR
Get Tickets to Headliner and Workshops
The healing arts market itself is free and open to the public.
Tickets are only required for the Friday night headliner and paid workshops.
Friday, 6:30–9:30pm, we welcome Willow Bradner for a funny, powerful group psychic mediumship experience—guests with a Headliner ticket may add their name to be drawn for live readings (not everyone will be read, but the messages shared are deeply resonant for the whole room). Choose from the three ticket options.
Meet this years Practitioners
The practitioners at Lights in the Valley represent the depth, care, and creativity of the Gunnison Valley’s healing community. Each offering comes from someone who lives and works here, bringing their own lived experience, training, and way of listening into the space. From body-based and somatic practices to intuitive, creative, and earth-rooted modalities, these practitioners are not here to fix or prescribe, but to support, guide, and walk alongside. Together, they form a constellation of care—one that reflects the richness of our community and the many paths through which healing can unfold.

Join us for an unforgettable evening with Willow Bradner, an intuitive psychic medium known for her humor, clarity, and deeply grounded spiritual insight. This ticket includes access to the full headliner experience and the opportunity to place your name into the drawing bowl for a live reading.
While not everyone will receive a one-on-one reading, at least 20 audience members will be chosen, and the messages that come through are almost always universal — offering guidance, healing, laughter, and resonance for everyone in the room.
This event is powerful, connective, and full of joy. Whether your name is drawn or not, you will leave changed.
