Join us for a transformative community experience of Love, Liberation, and Leadership on 3/31/2019 from 2-6pm at Diana Wortham Theatre in Asheville, NC. Claim your best seat NOW at this reserved seating event!
.
The Shift from Fear to Love is a live event, a mission, a movement, and a growing community. It activates us, personally and collectively, to lead with Love and liberate from Fear.
It is a growing community of rising leaders that share:
1. A common mission to personally and collectively shift from fear to love.
2. An awareness that: our inner challenges and our world’s problems are rooted in fear; healing & sustainable solutions are aligned with love; and we each have the leadership capacity to shift from fear to love with every breath, thought, choice, action, and contribution.
3. A dedication to unleash our greatest leadership contributions, each shifting the world from fear to love in our own unique way.
.
The purpose of the Live Event is to liberate your next level of leadership contribution, as we come together to shift ourselves and our world from fear to love.
The Vision for the Live Event includes many collaborative elements that will be woven together into a transformative, artful, improvisational, engaging experience on-stage. Whether you are on-stage or in the audience, you will experience personal transformation and community-building. Your full presence will naturally contribute to The Shift from Fear to Love.
We will begin our 4-hour experience creating a heightened state of love and liberation–weaving in the power of music, dance, singing, spoken word, meditation, guided visualization, and communal intention. You will then be invited into transformational experiences–a collage of journaling, partner work, open forum sharing, spotlight coaching, and improvisational creativity. Everything will be by choice where you decide how deeply you’re ready to engage.
.
Ticket Sales & Free Membership are open to all rising leaders.
Claim your best seat now at this reserved seating event.
Then land in our SHIFT Home Base where your experience begins now.

Be part of what the world needs.

The Literacy Council of Buncombe County will hold “Beauty and the Bee,” an adult Spelling Bee, on April 3, 2019 at The Mothlight in West Asheville. Beginning at 6 pm, fifteen teams of three adults each will compete in the themed, spirited, and zany word challenge.
While the word list is challenging to even the most advanced spellers, this event is not a traditional, stilted spelling bee. Audience members are encouraged to cheer on their favorite teams and can even purchase opportunities to cheat on the spellers’ behalf. Spellers and audience members are encouraged to wear costumes in homage to this year’s beauty-pageant event theme: Beauty and the Bee.
Spelling Bee teams are fielded by local businesses, non-profits, community associations, colleges, book clubs and friends. This year’s teams include the 2018 winning team, Malaprop’s Bookstore/Café; the 2017 highest fundraising team, Chestnut/Corner Kitchen; and more.
Funds raised by the Beauty and the Bee Spelling Bee support the Literacy Council of Buncombe County’s programs that provide basic literacy and English language services to 2,200 people in Buncombe County.
