Southern Appalachia is often thought of as a place where little slavery existed prior to the American Civil War. Yet for those individuals held against their will in various places across the mountains, their experiences were just as real as their desire for freedom.

This event is free and open to the public. Registration required.

We will be as close to as directly across the parking lot as we can, near the water, with the tent (go past the bathrooms and head to the water). So, you should be able to find us pretty easily if it’s your first time).

We’ll enjoy meditations/visualizations, psychic ability empowerment, chakra activations, and lively discussions about how we can participate in the evolution of the new earth… a world where truth and the ethos of love (e.g.: Law of One) are the guiding forces.

All who are interested in spiritual growth and evolution and getting to know others who are “on their wavelength” are welcome.

NOTE: Bring a chair, pillow, or towel to sit on, an open mind, and energies of love, receptivity, and curiosity.

We look forward to meeting you!

Bountiful Cities has been gifted this beautiful glass greenhouse from the Sovereign Oaks Community in Asheville. We dismantled it and will be and installing it in our Pearson Garden and Nursery in Montford. At this garden we grow out plants to share with the community through our Community Garden Network. Free plant starts enable communities to get a jump start on the growing season and grow as much food as possible.

We need your help! Moving and reconstructing a greenhouse is an exciting and expensive project. Please support us as we support the community. Purchase a raffle ticket support the Greenhouse at Pearson and get involved in growing food, and building climate resiliency for our community.

Opening the Door to Spirit (Introduction To Mediumship)

Bullington Gardens

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].
