Band of Horses
Jun 27 @ 8:00 pm
Peace Center

There might be no other band that was able to channel the generational anxiety in those early millennial years and turn it into such powerful and inclusive art quite like Band of Horses. Band of Horses fashioned gorgeously ragged epics, Ben Bridwell’s high-flying vocals and eccentric enunciation floating like a specter that felt like a prelude to a dream. Full of profundity, truth, and sometimes just homespun advice on how to live, Band of Horses songs have become anthems and touchstones for fans.

Together we will explore and express ourselves by making our own personalized deck, sharing cards, journaling, and consulting our cards about our own life questions. We will use simple tools—images, 5×8 cards, scissors, and glue, so no artistic experience needed!

Open Studio is a time when supplies and space will be available to create cards for your deck. You can drop in for a little while or stay the entire time. New and experienced practitioners welcome! While this is mainly time for independent creation, Michelle will be there to chat, answer questions, provide tips, and guide you through the process. If you’ve been curious about SoulCollage® this is a great way to get started.

Bring your water bottle and something to journal with. All other supplies will be provided.

Materials Fee Contribution: $5.00/Card

Energetic Experiences

Sonic Spheres
The Sphere Of Mystery

Join us for an immersive sound journey into the mystery of vibration and resonance. More than just sound waves traveling through air, sound is the invisible thread weaving together all of existence – connecting stars to our beating hearts, and speaking directly to the soul.

“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” – Nikola Tesla

You will be gently guided through layers of harmonic tones and resonant frequencies designed to calm the mind, open the heart, and awaken profound inner balance. Each sound becomes a gateway, carrying messages beyond words and inviting you to journey inward, beyond thought and time.

This is the first, inaugural Sonic Sphere. They each will have a theme, a specific instrumentation and/or carry their own unique quality. Each one offers a sacred space where every vibration holds a secret, every silence hums with possibility, and every tone helps you reconnect to the universal rhythm that connects us all.

Be the first to experience ✩ The Sphere of Mystery ✩

Please bring any comfort items you might want: a pillow, blanket, eye mask, etc. We have a limited number here to offer.

The energetic exchange starts at $20. Please be generous and give more if you can to support both facilitator and host. Spaces are limited.

Reserve your place HERE or RSVP through Meetup.

Note: If the number of participants is less than 4, the event might be canceled.

Steel Pulse
Jul 2 @ 6:00 pm
French Broad River Brewery

Experience reggae revolutionaries Steel Pulse, LIVE on their 50th Anniversary Tour! July 2nd @ French Broad River Brewery – OUTDOOR stage! Presented by Asheville Music Hall. ALL AGES welcome! Get Your Tickets NOW: https://buff.ly/YFzDUo6

Bearing witness to the accelerating negativity of global affairs, Steel Pulse emerges with musical vengeance to halt the disarray of humanity. The bands twelfth studio production, titled Mass Manipulation, reflects four decades committed to bettering mankind through music. Steel Pulse continues to be revolutionary in engaging controversial topics of racial injustice and human rights on a global scale. Their musical stance and conceptualizations are as potent and relevant today as they were at the beginning of their career. The album’s uniquely thematic approach provokes thought as it presses forward, toward humanities unification. A manipulation of our minds has been influenced by a New World Order currently dominating humankind. Steel Pulse reappears at a fated moment, armed with compassion, encouraging all people to reject false ideals, set higher goals, and demand more from themselves to further this unification.
