Join us for a screening of Paul Bonesteel’s documentary Muni (2020), followed by a panel discussion of the film with the filmmaker, community leader Matthew Bacoate Jr., and Chris Corl from the City of Asheville.

Muni is a love letter to the game of golf as told by the Black caddies-turned-players who, despite Jim Crow laws, built a rich and vibrant golf culture on a classic municipal course in Asheville, affectionately known as Muni.

This free program will be Friday, July 7 at 4:30 p.m. at the East Asheville Library and everyone is invited. Click here to watch a trailer for Muni.

Guests will meet outside the Asheville Art Museum (2 S. Pack Square, Asheville, NC 28801) and then depart with their treasure map on a walking team scavenger hunt where they will use their minds and feet to follow clues, solve puzzles, and crack codes to find and unlock the treasure chest for a grand prize!

The hunt involves walking a distance of up to 2.0 miles in total and will take place rain or shine, so long as the weather does not become dangerous. The hunt typically takes about 60 minutes to complete.

Do you feel a deep connection to the elements and the natural world, and yearn to unlock the hidden wisdom within them?

Hi, my name is Adora, and I am a modern alchemist, healer, and teacher. I’ve spent the past 30 years studying and practicing the art of harnessing the power of the elements to create sacred spaces for meditation, reflection, and personal transformation. And now, I want to share these life-changing teachings with you.

Are you ready to unleash the modern alchemist within you and transform your life?

Discover the ancient wisdom of the elements and create your sacred space to manifest abundance, harmony, and focus faster than ever before.

In this complimentary online workshop, you will:

• Discover the secrets of how modern alchemy and The Love Frequency can transform your life
• Learn the ancient wisdom of the elements and how to access their unique energies
• Understand how you can use the five primary elements – Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether – to balance your body, mind, and spirit
• Use the elements to increase your ability to create and manifest faster
• Create your own sacred space for meditation, reflection, and intentional creation
• Receive direct guidance from Adora on how to choose element-rich objects for your sacred space
• Access the Power of the Elements to Create Your Sacred Space

Imagine a space in your home that serves as a sanctuary for meditation, reflection, prayer, journaling, and other healing practices. A space that not only honors your commitment to transformation but also accelerates your intentional creation process.

In this transformative workshop, you’ll learn how to tap into the alchemy of the natural world and wield the power of the elements to create a sanctuary for your sacred intentional practices. This will help you manifest greater abundance, harmony, and focus in your life, expediting the manifestation process.

Together, we’ll explore the power of the elements – Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Ether – and learn how to harness their energies to create balance, harmony, and abundance in our lives.

By working with the elements and creating your own sacred space, you’ll be able to:

• Balance your emotions and purify your spirit with the power of water
• Inspire your thinking and elevate your communication with the power of air
• Ignite your passion and radiate purpose with the power of fire
• Anchor your life purpose and enhance your vitality with the power of earth
• Create from effortless intention and connect with All That Is with the power of ether
Embrace The Love Frequency™

These acts of sacred alchemy help you more deeply embrace The Love Frequency®, a spiritual accelerator for the modern alchemist. It awakens your inner power and guides you toward living an authentic and abundant life.

The Love Frequency is a flow state of conscious creation that you have been called to as a reminder of your infinite nature. Your sacred heart, the source of all creation, is ready to open to new potentials and to remember the truth of who you are. How are you called to live life to the fullest? What is bubbling up to the surface of your consciousness to be created?

How to Prepare for This Workshop

To prepare for this workshop, please gather objects that symbolize each of the elements and hold personal significance for you:

• Water: a bowl of water, seashell, or a chalice
• Air: a feather, incense, a bell, or photo of winged creatures (butterfly, bird)
• Fire: a candle, incense, or an image of a dragon or phoenix
• Earth: a crystal, salt, a bowl of soil or coins
• Ether: an image of sacred geometry, the cosmos, or a pyramid crystal
Additionally, please bring two photos of yourself – one from your childhood, and one where you felt strong, clear, capable, beautiful, or empowered. If you do not have these photos, you may sketch an image or bring a physical representation that holds significance for you.

By the end of this workshop, you will have created a powerful sacred space that invites balance, harmony, and abundance into your life. Your connection to the elements will be strengthened, and your manifestation process will be accelerated.

Are You a Modern Alchemist?

Have you ever felt that there’s more to life than what meets the eye? That beneath the surface of our everyday existence lies a hidden world of magic, mystery, and limitless potential? If you answered yes, then you are probably a modern alchemist.

Modern alchemists are spiritual seekers who recognize they are co-creators of their reality and have developed the power to transform their lives and the world around them. They dedicate themselves to a development path that continually reveals the hidden mysteries of Universal Laws and The Love Frequency.

Modern alchemists understand how to use these powers to improve their everyday life. They recognize their multidimensional nature and know that they have a gift and light within them that can change the world, first by healing themselves.

If you resonate with these traits, then you’re already on the path of a modern alchemist. And this workshop is the perfect opportunity to take the first step toward unlocking your full potential.

Reserve Your Spot Now and Begin Your Journey as a Modern Alchemist

Don’t miss this chance to learn the ancient secrets of modern alchemy and harness the power of the elements to create your sacred space at no cost. Join me, Adora, in this free online workshop and discover the magic and transformation that awaits you.

Grail Moviehouse in Asheville’s River Arts District continues its popular event series: Music Movie Mondays. Showcasing the best in new, classic and cult films about music, these special screenings feature an introduction by music journalist Bill Kopp (that’s me), followed by a screening of the film and then a moderated discussion about what we’ve just seen and heard.

The latest in the series is HEAD, The Monkee’s 1968 film made to deconstruct their cuddly TV image. Is it weird? Oh, yes indeed. Is it fun? Absolutely. And it’s rarely seen on the big screen. Details are in the attached press release; more info at http://musoscribe.com/movies

The Monkees was quite popular during its year-and-a-half run NBC-TV. In light of the group’s enduring popularity, it’s remarkable to realize that they existed onscreen for such a brief time. And as is widely known, the four members — admittedly to varying degrees — bristled at the manner in which they were packaged and sold to the public. So it was in 1968 after the show had gone of the air that the group — with show creators Bob Rafelson and Bert Schneider and a friend of theirs named Jack Nicholson — decided to make a motion picture that would destroy once and for all their cuddly image.

That film was and is HEAD. Imagine The Monkees TV show expanded to movie length and dosed liberally with LSD, and you’ll begin to get a sense of what HEAD is like. The list of co-stars hints at the madness: Frank Zappa, Victor Mature, Annettte Funicello, Sonny Liston. “Weird” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Weirdly wonderful, too.

HEAD is not often screened these days. We had to jump through some hoops to get it for Music Movie Mondays. But we did, and we’re excited to share it with you.

Some 55 years after its original release, the willfully bizarre HEAD continues to fascinate, to entertain, to bewilder. Grail Moviehouse proudly presents a special one-night screening of the movie on Monday, July 10. Hosted by author, speaker and music journalist Bill Kopp, the evening will feature a screening of the film followed by an interactive discussion. HEAD is the latest in Grail Moviehouse’s ongoing series, Music Movie Mondays.
