The Shippensburg University Activities Planning Board (APB) hosted the “Under the Same Sky” event on Feb. 21 in the CUB Multipurpose Room (MPR). 

The event lasted from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m., and it had different activities in which students could participate. Upon walking in, the room was lit up with purple mood lighting, string lights and candles set up on the tables. 

Sound bowls and the sound bowl healer were on the stage, creating a relaxing environment in combination with the calming music that was playing. 

After checking in, students were given a ticket to put into one of the three giveaway baskets, which were provided by Luna Chic, a local business. 

The raffle baskets included a protection and spell basket; a de-stress and focus basket; and a self-love basket. Luna Chic also had a giveaway with its own basket, as well as three wooden boxes with different herbs and a homemade necklace. 

There were yogurt parfaits and toppings provided by APB, with strawberry and vanilla yogurt, strawberries and blueberries, granola toasted coconut, and honey. 

Trinity Queitzsch, the sound bowl healer, said, “I am an energy practitioner and sound healer. Being here shows how passionate I am about spreading spiritual awareness and the power of sound healing. Being here to support Emberlynn, my longtime friend, is also a major reason I am here, as she has always supported my journey.” 

There were many tables throughout the room for people to interact with. There was a table with different colored stationery, along with jewelry making with a variety of charms. Another table had “fairy dust” with different scents and herbs to put into small potion bottles with glitter, essential oils and more. There was also tarot card and astrology readings available. 

Luna Chic also had its own table at the event where they showcased many products, from body scrubs and wax melts to crystals. They also provided knowledge on their different crystals. 

Throughout the event, people went up on stage and interacted with the sound bowls. Toward the end, there was a tapestry attendees could sign, documenting their time there and getting to take in the relaxing sounds. 

Emberlynn Allen, a general APB member who held the event, said, “I am very grateful that I did this event; so many people came together for a night of soul and mental health work. We have never done an event like this in APB, so I thought it was a good opportunity to introduce something new that has helped me.”
