Both regular attendees and newcomers are welcome, and the venue is kid-friendly.
As always, this event is all about helping those with an interest in real estate and investment build relationships within the industry and make meaningful connections. We encourage all attendees to bring at least one friend and one question to the event .
The event will run from 5:30 to 6:30pm, but the earlier you get there the better – we’ll cover the first beer for our first ten arrivals! Our goal is for everyone to walk away with a new connection/relationship that is going to help you take the next step forward in your real estate journey.
Shoot us a message and let us know what that step might be so we can do our best to make that introduction on Wednesday. Or maybe it is a question that you have, let us know so we can try to either answer it ourselves or introduce you to the person who has the answer.

What do you value? What do you want to change?
Government spends money on the things that we value collectively, like safety and roads. It decides every year the prioritization of issues to address and services to provide.
Are you already working with a group that’s working to make specific change? For example childcare, housing, education, justice system, community health.
The government budgeting process is where the rubber hits the road and is one of the most important processes for change in our community. During the budgeting process, government allocates money to these issues, as well as specific projects.
What if you feel your values aren’t heard?
If you want to the government to address issues or make change, the budgeting process is where you should speak the loudest.
How do you do it?
Find out how you can participate in the city and county (and even state and federal) budgeting process through an interactive workshop. You will learn content of budgets, the timeline and processes for approval, and the best ways to advocate for change.
FOOD, CHILDCARE AND INTERPRETATION PROVIDED
Event is Free but please RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/budget-advocacy-101?referrer=children-first-of-buncombe-county&source=direct_link

_______________________
¿Qué valoras? ¿Qué quieres cambiar?
El Gobierno gasta dinero en cosas que valoramos colectivamente, como la seguridad y las carreteras. Y cada año decide priorizar los temas y los servicios que va a bridar a la comunidad.
¿Ya estás trabajando con un grupo que desea hacer cambios específicos en las prioridades del gobierno? Como, por ejemplo, cuidado de niños, vivienda, educación, sistema de justicia, salud comunitaria entre otros.
La presupuestación es uno de los procesos más importantes para el cambio en nuestras comunidades. Durante ese proceso, el gobierno asigna dinero a temas, así como a proyectos específicos.
Entonces ¿Qué pasa cuando tus intereses no son escuchados?
Si desea que el gobierno aborde los problemas que a usted le interesan o haga cambios, el proceso de presupuestación es algo que usted debe conocer para hacer oír su voz.
¿Qué puedes hacer?
Descubra cómo puede participar en el proceso de presupuesto de la ciudad y el condado (e incluso del estado y federal) a través de un taller interactivo. Aprenderá el contenido de los presupuestos, la línea de tiempo y los procesos para su aprobación, y las mejores formas de abogar por el cambio.

FREE YOGA CLASS
<3 WEDNESDAY 2/6! <3
New class on Wednesdays begins February 2019 with Danielle Manisha Landis <3
5:30pm – 6:45pm
Raja Yoga with Danielle
Raja Yoga in Sanskrit is known as Royal Yoga because it is the classic yoga path to attaining the state of union with our true nature which is Light or Divine, through body-mind-spirit systematic approach. The class offers gentle opening movements to awaken and loosen tension and stress in the body, postures (Asanas), breathwork (Pranayama), and Meditation (Dhyana.) This is a great class for beginners and all levels as there are offerings to deepen into your own level of practice (Sadhana.) There will be a deep relaxation period at end of movement (Yoga Nidra) which allows the body, mind, and spirit to digest and integrate the yogic experience. Being a devoted practitioner of Yoga, Light, and the Healing Arts, Danielle may offer wisdom from the great Saints and Sages of all traditions and opportunities to chant Universal sacred sounds (mantras.)
Bio
Danielle is a deeply devoted Bhakti yogi and Mystic who is in love with the Divine and the Divine’s expression through and as her very Self. Each moment is an opportunity to listen and Be in the Silence; that sweet place where Truth, Consciousness, Joy, Peace, and the Grace of God exist. She humbly bows to these moments as they offer great wisdom and medicine in supporting the awakening of our True Self. As Swami Vivekananda said, “Each soul is potentially Divine.” She walks and lives in the Light of this Truth. Her greatest calling and desire is to support others in remembering their true identity and to help end suffering in ourselves and in the world.
As a result of a motor vehicle accident in 1994, she became keenly aware of the importance of internal balance and harmony. It was through the healing arts of massage, and body-mind awareness practices such as yoga, tai chi, and qigong that began her life-long spiritual journey of waking up. In 1998, she received her license in Massage Therapy and continues to offer services at her private practice in downtown Asheville. In 2000, she was certified as a yoga instructor through Frog Pond Yoga in Massachusetts and Swami Vivekananda Yoga Ashram in Bangalore, India, as well as being graced to sit at the feet of her Guru, Dr. VS Rao for over 9 years before he took MahaSamadhi (left his body].
Danielle’s intention as a teacher is to support and allow what is showing up in our body, mind, and experience personally and collectively, and to honor the process of transformation as it occurs occur naturally rather than attempting to force a result. She has adopted her Guru’s teaching style – the ancient tradition of Raja yoga – simple yoga class structured with gentle opening movements, yogic breath and postures, and meditation fit for beginners and all levels. In addition, her classes are imbued with the Sacred through Pure Knowledge (wisdom and teachings of Saints and Sages of ALL traditions), prayers/chants to invoke Light and Love within.
First class 2/6 will be free!
Classes on 2/13 and later
$5-20 sliding scale
