Hey there,
I thought it might be helpful to have a meeting about these things:

• What are the Akashic Records?
• How does a reading work?
• How do the Akashic Records help you heal pain from your past?
• How else can you use them to improve your life and find more peace, joy, confidence, and freedom? (by freedom, I mean… freedom from the past, running thoughts, negative thinking, fear, anger, shame, regrets, and releasing the past while intending the future you desire)

Honestly, if you’d told me back in 2008 that I’d be ‘reading’ the Akashic Records for myself and others, I’d have laughed. I didn’t even know what they were, and I was never interested in being an intuitive.

However, we ALL are intuitive, and whenever I provide a reading I make it clear – I am the least important person in the room. This is all about YOU and your Divine Team (the Masters, Teachers, and Loved Ones + angels, guides, past lives, and other information) who are loving you and guiding you.

If you want to learn more about the Akashic Records, how they work, and how I run a Healing Circle… join me!

This is virtual (on Zoom), so I can have an unlimited number of people on the call. Grab a drink, curl up on your couch, and join me… I’d love to meet you :)

PREVIOUS YEARS EVENTS HAVE SOLD OUT. CONSIDER PURCHASING IN ADVANCE, AS DOOR SALES WILL BE LIMITED, OR NOT AVAILABLE AT ALL!

Created and produced by Adventure Entertainment, this is Australia’s original women’s adventure film tour. This short film festival is a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure.

Once again, the evening’s guest emcee is Asheville local, business owner and previous holder of the Fastest Known Time on the Appalachian Trail, Jennifer Pharr Davis. Blue Ridge Hiking Company and She Jumps will be onsite with information and volunteers to answer all of your adventure questions!

Every year, our selection of unique films are carefully chosen to show women achieving their personally adventurous goals. Being adventurous doesn’t always have to mean being the fastest, going the highest or doing the most extreme things. Adventure for most of us is just stepping outside of our comfort zones and climbing our own personal Mt Everest. The films showcase real stories about women from a variety of cultures and sports around the world. We aim for the festival to be enjoyed by women, children and men of all ages.

This year’s line-up features a diverse set of films with women of all ages including Australian Olympic champion Torah Bright, ultra trail running champion Lucy Bartholomew and many more, including women in climbing, distance swimming and mountain biking. The official WOMEN’S ADVENTURE FILM TOUR line up includes 7 short films in the 2 hour set.

All ticket buyers will have the opportunity to enter an awesome prize draw from the WOMEN’S ADVENTURE FILM TOUR official partners, including Flikr*, Cee Coach and others.

The WOMEN’S ADVENTURE FILM TOUR is exempt from classification, but the films are suitable for the entire family and would normally achieve a PG-13 rating, though, there might be some instances of “spicy” language peppered throughout.

Jeff Sipe Trio is a compelling example of the endless possibilities of the improvising trio. “That the power of the melody comes through matters more than anything to me,” reflects drummer, composer, and bandleader Jeff Sipe. His selfless dedication to the song at hand – to elevating it, enriching it, and propelling it – is why Sipe has long been considered a leading light in a vital, unique musical landscape that expands to encompass elements of jazz, rock, country, and funk. It’s a landscape he helped to create over his three-decade career, and one he brings to life here with guitarists Mike Seal and Taylor Lee.

It can be ruff out there for our canine companions, but we have pawsitively great news. Buncombe County’s first-ever dog park is now open at our Sports Park in Candler. While this is a soft open, the park features two fenced-in play areas; one for large dogs and one for smaller pups. “We do have plans to add other amenities and water fountains,” exclaims Recreation Services Program Coordinator Mac Stanley. “People are very excited about this new opportunity. Since it was announced, we have gotten letters of support as well as many emails questioning when will the project be completed.”

So join us in a round of apaws as we celebrate the opening of this new venue for hot dogs and cool people. “It’s an amazing place to bring your dog to run free without a leash and interact with other dogs,” says Stanley. “One of my favorite aspects of this new dog park is being able to cultivate a community. Hopefully, this dog park will be instrumental in connecting dogs as well as people within the community.” Paw-yeah, sounds great.
