| At Better Than Unicorns we seek the most curious souls, those who ask questions, those who dare to make demands, and those who can’t resist exploring ideas old or new…
If that’s you, get your things packed… for adventure awaits! We want to make the VR journey as accessible as possible. The experience we’re committed to sharing with as many people as possible is aNUma, a psychedelic-like journey where you can experience the most unique moments of life… from the oneness in us all to experiencing the fullness of the field surrounding each of us. If you own your own headset, simply email us for an invitation to our twice monthly, guided experiences in aNUma. If you don’t own a headset, you can rent one from us for 24 hours. |

Asheville’s best ping-pong players join Asheville’s worst table-tennis players at Sovereign Kava every Thursday at 7 p.m. to battle for glory and a $50 bar tab. No charge.
Whether you learned to play in the basement as a kid, or in a prison as a young adult, or in a rehab facility as an older adult, this is the tournament for you.
Located just down the hill on the Asheville-side of Mission Hospital, we are convenient walking distance to medical help after you get your heart broken on our Butterfly table.
Bring your paddle or borrow one of ours. Open to all skill levels and clothing styles. Beginners welcome. Hell, we’re ALL rusty after not playing during the Pandemic so don’t let that stop you.
Our table-tennis table is open for play 7 days a week, noon to 11 p.m. unless there’s a music event.
