Featuring: The Essence of now: A Sensory Experience
The five senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—are essential for truly experiencing the present, as they ground us in our current surroundings. By actively engaging with these senses, we can fully embrace the experiences unfolding around us, allowing us to stay connected to the here and now rather than drifting into memories of the past or worries about the future. We invite you to explore our senses display, where you can discover the enchanting power of being present in the moment.

Featuring: Trees Of Hope
The "Trees of Hope" exhibit at ViewFest is a stunning tribute to the strength of community and the transformative power of hope. As you gather around with other festival participants, you became part of a living, breathing artwork — attaching vibrant butterflies to a delicate netting that stretched and expanded throughout the festival grounds. Each butterfly represented a personal wish, dream, or symbol of resilience, growing into a dynamic web of collective energy and inspiration. As the butterflies multiply and spread, they embody the unity and shared vision of the community, illustrating how individual acts of hope can come together to create something extraordinary. The evolving display is a testament to the idea that, like trees reaching toward the sky, hope thrives and flourishes when nurtured by connection and collective belief.
