Our nature is Boundless, Infinite, Awareness, One, I Am. The sharing of this Truth provides a deep, direct knowing. So that we can live as this.
I let my personality to fall to the background, allowing The Boundless to shine through. When this happens a transmission of energy flows through, along with teachings from the Boundless. All participants are invited to open to this Awareness. As people experience the shift in frequency, the energy in the room builds.
There will be meditation, singing bowls, energy and wisdom transmission

TAROT + Less known Spreads – for couples, destiny, chakras + crazy questions.
Tarot is so much more than a divinatory tool. With proper intention, it can be our guide and trusted friend in times of need, and a mirror of our soul.
As humanity stands on the threshold of the new evolutionary era, Tarot cards with their deeply mystical symbology and soul-moving archetypes bring a new dimension of self-understanding and self-development.
During the classes, you will learn how to work with the cards intuitively and how to recognize the symbols, archetypes, and meanings that are special to you.
If you enjoy journaling, we will have fun exercises for you to take home!
You can choose any class that tickles your fancy, or attend all the classes and start reading the cards easily for yourself and others!
CLASSES TOPICS:
1. TAROT – A road map to spiritual evolution
2. TAROT & Elemental Energies – finding your inner fire, filling up your love cup.
3. TAROT & the Royal Cards – the authorities that guide us.
4. TAROT & the Shadow – the dark side of Tarot – and the healing that follows.
5. TAROT – Don’t be Fooled – the real pictures of Major Arcanas and your own archetype.
6. TAROT & ‘Strange’ coincidences – timing, connections, relationships, and astrological attributions.
7. TAROT & Less known Spreads – for couples, for destiny, for chakras, for crazy questions.
8. TAROT & Pendulum – asking the yes and no questions.
9. TAROT and ORACLE- mixing the cards for greater guidance
In A Path with Heart, renowned teacher Jack Kornfield provides a comprehensive guide to the spiritual path with very applicable tools and practices. Because there is so much goodness in this book, we’re going to split it into two events.

WNC’s own Mountain Top Polka Band will be playing some high-octane Polka music to get your toes tapping! Since 2009, MTP has performed hundreds of events in six states around the south and southeast US, these guys are as entertaining as they are musically talented.

Local artist @FacePaintingAsheville will be there to paint faces and spread joy.

Can’t have sausages and pretzels without beer! We’ll be serving local beers, ciders, seltzers and non-alcoholic beverages to slake your thirst between Polkas, with a local brewery helping pour some serious pitcher specials of local suds.

French Broad River Park location: Go to the parking lot off of Riverview Drive, which is off of Amboy Rd. Find the cobalt blue canopy tent!
We will be as close to directly across from 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).
NOTE: Bring a chair, pillow, or towel to sit on, an open mind, and energies of love, receptivity, and curiosity.
Activation is 2 hours together: The 1st hour is a discussion and sharing (OPEN conversation with a topic we choose from a container that all participate in), a sharing from a group member or members, and then the last hour is a chakra detox/tune up via meditations/guided visualizations, or a psychic ability empowerment session led by the hosts Natalie and Adriane.
This is how we participate TOGETHER in the evolution of “New Earth” energies moving into a world where truth and the ethos of love-light (e.g.: Law of One ideation) are the guiding forces.
All who are interested in spiritual growth, OPEN-MINDED conversations that include the light and dark of our planet, evolution, and the desire to co-create and get to know others who are like-hearted (not just like-minded) are welcome!
We look forward to meeting you!

Songs From The Road Band is an Asheville, North Carolina based bluegrass supergroup featuring Mark Schimick (mandolin), Charles Humphrey III (bass), Sam Wharton (guitar), James Schlender (fiddle), and Gabe Epstein (banjo). The band takes flight with virtuosic picking, singing, and grammy award winning songwriting. Several of their most recent singles have gone to the top of the Bluegrass Today Grassicana chart. They have 6 studio albums available at all musical outlets.
Saturday Special Guest: Casey Driessen
Driessen has never taken the standard path in his music career. Described by Zac Brown as “a mad scientist with a five-string fiddle,” the GRAMMY-nominated fiddle player loves to experiment, collaborate, teach, travel, and push the boundaries of not only his instrument, but of what it means to be an independent working musician in the modern music industry.
Currently, that means pouring himself into Otherlands: A Global Music Exploration. Produced, performed, recorded and filmed by Driessen, Otherlands is a travelogue of on-location recordings, short films, and essays documenting musical collaborations through Spain, Ireland, Scotland, India, Japan, and Finland. Driessen undertook this nearly year-long journey with his family, and the results are a 26-episode video series, a 13-song recording of collaborations titled Otherlands:ONE, stories from each encounter, and hundreds of photos.
Sunday Special Guest-Eternally Grateful
Charlotte based acoustic Jam duo with guitar and upright bass focused on the music of Jerry Garcia and so much more!
