Returning to Concerts in the Park is “Mission Accomplished,” an Asheville, NC based classic rock cover band made up entirely of Mission Health colleagues. Who knew that three surgeons, a nurse, a pharmacist and a data scientist could have so much fun rocking out together? Playing classic rock and blues tunes from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s, Mission Accomplished delivers on the expectation that the audience “may not know what they like – but they like what they know!”

Join us in the beautiful Asheville neighborhood of Olivette for an outdoor concert by *dream folk* trio South for Winter. BYOB • BYOC (chair) • KIDS ARE FREE!
With a blend of dreamy acoustic duets, foot-stomping folk and bluesy murder ballads, New Zealand-formed and Nashville-based South for Winter’s sound is as eclectic as their origins. The band is composed of New Zealander Nick Stone, Coloradan Dani Cichon, and Michigander Alex Stradal, and together the three multi-instrumentalists and songwriters combine elements such as classically-trained cello, percussive guitar, mandolin, suitcase stomp, poetic lyricism, and haunting melodies into a genre-bending sound described by American Songwriter as “impeccable”.

This event will be inspiring and uplifting, despite the serious subject matter. It is about answering the call to work towards freedom and justice. Learn how one person can make a huge difference in someone’s life, even when they don’t know how or where to start.
After a life-changing phone call, Rich became an everyday hero, helping to coordinate an international rescue operation for his niece, Loan, who became a victim of human trafficking in Malaysia. A Special guest will be joining virtually to share in this multidimensional story.
This journey to freedom exposes the hidden reality of modern slavery- and the strength it takes to reclaim one’s life.

You are invited! Please join us for a Metaphysical Meetup in Asheville!
This is for all spiritual seekers, psychics, mystics, tarot readers, healers, and anyone interested in learning more about spirituality. No matter where you are on your journey, you are welcome here. :)
We begin by having everyone do quick introductions to share what they’re into metaphysically and if they have any offerings they want to share, then we all mingle and hang out.
If you’re wanting to swap services or do readings, that is welcome here. We also have reference books and oracle decks to dive into if the socializing gets too overwhelming for the introverts.
