With special thanks to our training sponsor, YMCA of Western North Carolina, the Chamber is offering personal training opportunities with YMCA’s trainer Suzanne Ion. Meet in the Chamber parking lot for a brief warm-up then head out with the group in a session designed to move you from the couch to the race course!
Sessions are every Tuesday, March 21 thru April 25th. The last session will be a preview run/walk of the actual Chamber Challenge 5k course beginning at the Chamber, winding through historic Montford and finishing in the parking lot once again.
These training sessions are open to anyone — whether you’ve registered to participate in the event or not! But in case you DO want to join in, go here to see more details, more training tips, and to register: www.chamberchallenge.org
We recommend you bring your own water bottle. The doors to the Visitor Center will be open 5:00-5:30 on training days so you can come in to get water, use the restroom, etc.

French Broad River Park: 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 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!
