Join Emily Bell of Rhythm & Ritual for an afternoon of broomcraft and connection.
More than a handcrafts class, Emily creates a ritual space for participants to settle in and create with intention. Everyone will have an opportunity to make their own cobweb broom.
A variety of broomsticks will be available to choose from and wood selection will be discussed, as well as cultivation of broomcorn.
This class is open to those who identify as women.
Class size is limited, so register early!

Note: this is a two-day course which takes place on Saturday, July 23, and Sunday, July 24, 9:30AM-5PM each day.
This is a beginners class for students wanting to learn the skills, exercises, and the fundamentals of mediumship. (Students need to bring a pen and notebook. Printed handouts will be also provided.)
Anthony Mikolojeski will be teaching students the foundation and techniques behind mediumship, and all healing aspects. Students will begin to learn various exercises in how to expand their energy to connect with loved one’s in the spirit world. Students will be engaging in exercises with each other while being mentored by Anthony. They will learn the boundaries, the responsibilities and professional ethics surrounding doing this work.
We will be doing a few singing bowl meditations, practice in meeting spirit guides we haven’t met before and learning techniques on how to build your personal power.
(Because of the summer tourist season and increased high traffic, students will be expected to allow extra traveling time so you arrive promptly for class.) We will start at 9:30 am sharp.
I just love what I do and look forward to to working with everyone in class!❤️
Lunch will be provided along with water, coffee, teas, and chilled beverages. (Please indicate if you have any specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please email Anthony at: [email protected].
Anthony has studied with some of the best mediums in the U.S and U.K such as James Van Praagh, Tony Stockwell, Mavis Pitilla, and Sheila French, just to name a few. He has completed a mentorship in mediumship with James Van Praagh and advanced mentorship with Mavis Pitilla. Anthony has also studied at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, England, in advanced mediumship.
Anthony Mikolojeski is known as the Asheville Medium. He has traveled internationally demonstrating mediumship on stage and provided personal readings. You can read more about his background, how he works or to book your next appointment at his website: ashevillemedium.com

The Blood Connection (TBC), the community blood center serving the Carolinas and Georgia, is partnering with local restaurant chain, Outback Steakhouse, to call attention to the importance of blood donation this summer. While TBC has avoided a blood shortage so far, the non-profit community blood center is currently experiencing a shortage of blood donors. The two groups are partnering to host blood drives at select Outback locations, to make blood donation accessible for more community members.
The Blood Connection’s mobile donation units will be at twenty Outback Steakhouse locations across North and South Carolina on July 28. As a thank you for helping save local lives, all donors will receive a $20 eGift card, redeemable for an Outback eGift card, plus a coupon for a free Bloomin’ Onion.
You can also donate between July 28 and July 30 at a TBC donation center to receive a $20 Outback eGift card and a free Bloomin’ Onion!
