Postures and exercises to replenish strength and encourage healing in your pelvic floor and core, as well as release neck, shoulder and back tension—those achy baby-holding muscles
Identify and address any separation of the abdominal muscles known as diastasis recti
Discuss the essentials of self-care and what that can look like for your (and baby’s) schedule
This workshop is ideal for Mama’s at least 6 weeks postpartum to anyone healing post-birth, but please leave that sweet bundle of joy with a caregiver. We want to devote all of our limited time to Mama!

An Oskar Blues’ employee’s sweet dog, Biscuit, was recently diagnosed with “wobbler syndrome,” a disabling disease that has progressed to the point that Biscuit spends most of his time lying down or in a crate so as to restrict movement in the front shoulders.

The best odds for Biscuit’s stability, self sufficiency, and well being at this point is a highly advanced spinal surgery performed in Knoxville, TN. The trips for neurological evaluations, an MRI, and the ultimate surgery will be very pricey. We need your help to make this successful!

Come out to Oskar Blues on Saturday, February 9 for a fundraiser to help get Biscuit back on his feet! Complete with a chili cook-off, group mountain bike ride, raffle, and live music.

12PM – Group MTB Ride. Meet at the brewery. Suggested donation to participate.

3PM – Chili Cook Off – Show us what you got! Prizes for Judges Pick and Peoples Choice.
$25 entry fee, $10 suggested donation for all you can eat chili
*To enter, email [email protected] for a registration form.

6-8PM – Live music from Chris Jamison’s Ghost

Raffle with items from local businesses!

If you would like to donate directly to the cause, head to www.gofundme.com/surgery-for-biscuits.

Maggie Valley is the most elevated incorporated valley in the United States at 3020 feet!

The other half flows from Fie Creek and Jonathan Creek, which border the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Drawdown is that point in time when the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere begins to decline on a year-to-year basis. Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming.

Drawdown is based on meticulous research that maps, measures, models, and describes the most substantive solutions to global warming that already exist. It is the most important goal for humanity to strive for at this time.

The four-session series was created by Pachamama Alliance and Paul Hawken – the Drawdown Project lead scientist. This is the first time this series has been offered in Asheville.

This series is designed for individuals and groups who are ready to identify personal and family solutions that are within reach and/or have an interest in working with community organizations and the City of Asheville to implement climate solutions and policies.

Katherine Wilkerson, VP of Communications and Engagement at the national Drawdown Project, will be in Asheville delivering a lecture at The Collider’s Climate City Expo in April 2019. The Collider is generously offering free tickets to this event ($35 value) to anyone who participates in this four-session series.
