Step into this sacred space and unlock the divine gifts of Mary Magdalene as we embark on a transformative journey to empower your sacred self-leadership and receive sacred blessings. The ongoing cosmic shift heralds the ascent of the Divine Feminine, a transcendent force resonating within the collective consciousness and very core of your being – from the depths of your soul to the essence of your cells.

Join us in recognizing and integrating the divine union of your inner feminine and masculine aspects, guiding you toward unity, empowerment, love, and a life experience infused with grace.

In this 90 minute program, you will immerse yourself in this profound experience, where the alchemy of crystals and anointing with sacred oils accelerates your inner spiritual awakening. A guided meditation in the Love Frequency will clear and activate the innate wisdom and divine potential within, allowing you to embrace the boundless love that resides within.

Delve into the tenets of ancient alchemy and modern knowledge, learning to embody the sacred self-leader of your most authentic and abundant life. Uncover the art of infusing the mundane aspects of daily life with sacredness through simple yet profound modern alchemical practices.

Embark on a journey of transformation, transitioning from mere survival to authentic thriving. Adora shares her personal healing journey, highlighting the profound connection with the Divine Feminine – especially Mary Magdalene, who as a guiding presence, embodies the mastery of love, faith, trust, surrender, and tantra. This workshop invites you to join in the healing power of sacred community to express your leadership, creativity, sensuality, and empowerment, enabling your inner feminine to rise as a radiant beacon of love, light, and peace.

This event is at Crystal Visions, Hendersonville NC 20 minutes from Asheville

You don’t need to know plié from a jeté to enjoy Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo. The company, affectionately known as the Trocks, brings its internationally beloved troupe of male dancers to Greenville to perform a brilliant combination of skillful pointe work and hilarious parodying of classical ballet favorites like Swan Lake.

In the nearly 50 years since the company’s founding, it has grown to achieve great appeal among more mainstream audiences who flock to theaters throughout the world to see the prima ballerinas perform. The Trocks are “a guaranteed hoot for people who know nothing of ballet and an absolute must for those who think they know the originals” (Sydney Star Observer).

Live Staking Workshop

Do you have a stream on your property that has issues with erosion? Are you losing more and more of your yard every time it storms? Then live staking may be an appropriate, and cost effective, solution to repair your stream bank.

Live staking involves using dormant cuttings of fast rooting woody native plants to revegetate a stream bank, holding it in place and preventing erosion as the plant’s roots grow. A vegetated stream bank is essential for a healthy riparian buffer and to prevent erosion.

In this workshop, we will introduce live staking and stream repair including best practices and species to use, when to install, and where to get live stakes. We’ll then have a hands-on workshop in partnership with Mountain Valley’s RC&D to repair a section of stream bank along the Swannanoa River in Azalea Park.

Date: Friday, January 26th 

Time: 1pm-3pm

Location: Meet at overflow parking lot at Azalea Park (the empty field between the last soccer field and the dog park). — Parking here can be tricky. The best place to park is usually by the last soccer field closest to the overflow lot, here.

For questions, please email [email protected].
