Darla
Darla is a 7-piece instrumental band from Philadelphia. Since forming in 2014, the group has honed their palette of funk and rock grooves, drawing from their origins in the Philadelphia DIY basement scene and influences of 1970s funk and fusion. The Darla sound is an accessible one—free from over-complication and over-indulgence. Fronted by saxophonists Wil Schade and David Bartler, the duo acts as the vocal core of the group, layering catchy melodies atop the methodical, feel-focused rhythm section of Michael Morrongiello (bass), Brendan Monahan (guitar), Jake Held (baritone guitar), Kosta Johnson (keys), and Richard Straub (drums). This talented group of non-conservatory musicians gets every crowd in the dancing mood with their raw, unpolished energy.
Darla has shared the stage with the likes of George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, KNOWER, The Disco Biscuits, George Porter Jr. (The Meters), Kamasi Washington, Bill Laurance, Big Sam’s Funky Nation, and Cory Henry & the Funk Apostles. The band works closely with the legendary engineer and member of The Butcher Brothers, Phil Nicolo (Ms. Lauryn Hill, Billy Joel, BonJovi, Bob Dylan) of Phil’s Records.

But when she disappears, her replacement is the hard-as-nails, detention-loving, recess-canceling, homework-overloading substitute teacher Viola Swamp!

Reclaimed Creations is a unique sculpture exhibit created by renowned artist Sayaka Ganz. Utilizing reclaimed plastic objects, such as discarded utensils, Ganz creates amazing sculptures that visually appear unified at a distance, but are in fact separated when examined up close. Described as using a “3D impressionistic” style, Ganz’s exhibit includes installations of animals in motion, which are in rich in color and energy, to create an illusion of form.
About the Artist
Born in Yokohama, Japan, Sayaka Ganz grew up living in Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A lecturer and teacher, Ganz’s work has been displayed at various institutions around the globe, including the Hermann Geiger Foundation in Cecina, Italy, the Isle Gallery in Isle of Man, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.
My work is about perceiving harmony, even in situations that appear chaotic from the inside. When observing my sculptures up close, one might see gaps, holes and items being held on only by small points; step away, however, and the sculptures reveal the harmony created when the objects are aligned to the same general (but not identical) direction. Similarly, it is important to gain perspective by stepping back from current problems and look at the larger picture. Then one can perceive the beauty and patterns that exist.”

Source and Synchronicities is a two-day course for anyone seeking greater health, greater wealth and greater love.
The Course will take place Nov 10 – 11 in 8 US cities : Asheville, NC, Austin TX, Boston MA, Chicago IL, Kansas City KS, Miami FL, New York City, NY and Washington DC.
Come experience an ultimate fusion of the Power of Source with the Power of Consciousness.
What is Consciousness?
Consciousness is the very ground of all existence. It is the fundamental essence of all that is.
By locking into the Source to access limitless power and awakening to the Power of Consciousness, you will learn the mystic science of creating synchronicities, directly from Preethaji, the founder of O&O Academy.
What Is Source?
Throughout time Source has been addressed by various names: the divine, an inner presence, cosmic consciousness or innate intelligence.
What Are Synchronicities?
Synchronicities are meaningful and favorable coincidences that happen in alignment with your intention. It feels as if this randomly moving universe is arranging itself in patterns in response to your heart’s longing, bringing together beautiful people and situations to support you. When this happens every day with incredible frequency we say you have entered a magical life of synchronicities.
What Will You Receive?
During this course you will awaken to the three important zones of synchronicity:
– The Healing Zone to experience increased physical health and
rejuvenation
– The Love Zone to attract and sustain relationships
– The Power Zone to create and enjoy greater abundance
– You will be empowered with a meditation practice to create
synchronicities in your daily life.
Faculty
Source & Synchronicities is taught via live simulcast by Preethaji and supported by O&O Academy faculty members.
Preethaji is the founder of One World Academy and O&O Academy. She is a philosopher who has impacted scores of seekers across the world. A loving wife, a dedicated mother, a conscious leader and spiritual mentor to the community of teachers at the Academy, Preethaji has created 5 successful global businesses along with her husband Krishnaji.
Preethaji is a rare enlightened sage who impacts her students not only through her wisdom but also the power of her consciousness. Her wisdom is a perfect convergence of two worlds, the worldly and the spiritual; scientific and the transcendental.

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.
In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
Sunday, November 11th

The Haen Gallery, located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is proud to present their 12th Annual Lynn Boggess Exhibition. The exhibit will run through November.
Lynn Boggess is one of the most unique and noteworthy American landscape painters of the 21st Century. He resides in West Virginia, a state whose diverse mountains, forests, and rivers provide abundant inspiration for the artist’s plein air paintings. In place of brushes he uses palette knives and trowels to thickly layer the broad sweeping strokes and exquisite fine detail that capture all the colors of the seasons in rushing rivers, snow covered hillsides, and thick forest vegetation. Mr. Boggess’ work is recognized internationally for its incredible three-dimensional texture, rendered solely in oils. These remarkable paintings combine elements of Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism to create a style that is totally unique and original.
The Haen Gallery in Asheville is located at 52 Biltmore Avenue between City Bakery and Chestnut. There is a parking garage at the Aloft hotel across the street, another garage just up the hill, as well as street parking.
The gallery is open Monday through Saturday 11am-6pm & Sunday 12-5pm. For more information: 828-254-8577 or www.thehaengallery.com. Gallery contacts: Chris Foley, Director; Leslie Logemann, Gallery Manager.
With locations in Asheville and Brevard, The Haen Gallery offers the work of established artists whose distinctive and unique style sets it apart from ordinary and imitative efforts. Visit the website at thehaengallery.com.

You don’t have to be a fan of Game of Thrones to know that winter is coming. It’s in the air, fogging up the window panes and biting at noses and hands. And that means coats and warm accessories are needed in the community. Mast Store is ready to Share the Warmth in all its communities with its 14th annual coat collection drive November 1-30.
Our partner Columbia Sportswear shares in this important drive with their tenth year of donations of new coats and jackets to be distributed among Mast Stores. And we need your help too. Check our closets for gently-worn jackets, fleeces, gloves, hats, and scarves that might serve someone else this winter. Bring your clean coats and put them in the convenient donation boxes at any store.
In most of our communities, there is a greater need for children’s coats and coats in sizes XXL and larger.
Donations at the Mast Store in Asheville are given to Resource Center at Hillcrest. Help us share the warmth … it’ll warm your heart too.
