Cedar Bear has been trained in the lineage of Richard Rudis who created the original “Gong Bath™”. Cedar’s Gong Bath’s and concerts include elements from Nada Yoga, DJ mixing, drumming, Tibetan Buddhism, Tantric Hinduism, sacred geometry, and Reiki. This creates a meditative experience in which each participant is acoustically guided via harmonic overtones, into realms of physical & mental/emotional well-being as well as cellular healing. Carefully designed vibrational constructs are used to further entice the brain into Alpha/Theta/Delta wave-scapes of clarity, peace, and wholeness which promotes physIcal, mental, and spiritual awakening, wisdom, and healing.
:: How to Prepare/What to Bring ::
-yoga mat or something soft to lie on and or a pillow.
-we have chairs and back jacks for sitting
-avoid wearing any heavy scents or oils

This holiday season, give your friends and family (or yourself) beautiful alcohol ink gifts that they can use to accessorize their home or wardrobe!
If you’ve been wanting to try a new and vibrant medium that works on a wide variety of materials and surfaces, you’ll love alcohol inks. As you drip, blow, and manipulate the brilliant colors of this art form, you’ll be amazed at the intricate patterns that emerge!
The multi-talented Deana Murchison will show you how to create beautiful, professional-looking artwork with very little effort. You’ll leave with at least one print, a ceramic coaster(s), a fashionable 11”x60” silk scarf, and a nifty stuffable cotton tote. Only you (and your fellow classmates, of course!) will know how quick and easy your masterpieces were to make!
No dyeing, drawing, or painting experience necessary!

Though we usually don’t get a lot of snow in Asheville, this super cute needle felted snowman is sure to get you into the holiday spirit! Join us for this fun workshop with fiber artist, Camille Daunno.
In just a few hours, you’ll learn the basics of needle felting, including what fibers are appropriate for creating a needle felted structure, how to build a three-dimensional piece (and how to shorten the process by using a Styrofoam ball), and how to embellish creations by needle felting details and attaching accessories.
You’ll leave the class with an adorable 8-1/2” free-standing snowman that will make a charming addition to any seasonal décor!

The Runes and Norse Magic are deeply shamanic and esoteric forms of divination and self-exploration. During the classes, we are going to enter a personal journey into the wisdom of runes and discover the mysteries hidden within them. We will work on developing a deep personal understanding and we will build a lasting relationship with them.
The classes are not scholarly teachings about the history of runes. We will focus on hands-on practice to invoke in us the energy of the futhark.
Each class is different, destined by the runes the students pick at the beginning of the event. The Norns will guide the process! Classes are held on Tuesdays 3 times a month.
Some of the topics include:
– Futhark – the Norse alphabet
– Nordic Shamanism – other techniques and surprising practices
– Singing the Runes – the power of galdr
– Drawing the Runes – Bindruns
– Shamanic Worlds and the Tree of Life
– Visualizing the Runes
and more
You don’t have to have runes of your own to participate.
If you have your own set of runes you are welcome to bring them on board.
Tickets:
Standard: $15 – pay at the door or buy a ticket online to secure your spot.
Ticket + Runes – $45 – Purchase a ticket online and receive a set of runes carved in beautiful gemstones.

My experience with the Runes.
In short, I always loved runes, I actually don’t remember when I got introduced to them for the first time. It was a long time ago.
My first business was named ‘Kenaz’- after the rune of creativity.
I am also a historical reconstructor of the Viking Age period, and I am particularly interested in the historical evidence of Norse magic with an emphasis on living archeology – meaning testing out the theory in reality. And oh boy, the stuff that’s coming to light is absolutely amazing! More during the class.
Lets’ cast some runes, shall we?

You are invited to join within sacred space on the Winter Solstice as we celebrate the Balsamic phase of the Moon. We are preparing for the Capricorn New Moon, a fantastic time to vision your year of 2023 and make space for powerful manifestation.
Each month we gather in this temple space as a community of women reclaiming our connection to the Divine Feminine. As we come together in this sacred way we stretch our nervous systems to hold more for one another and therefore ourselves and our lineages.
This is a time to align to your visions with solid and sovereign clarity. The Dark Moon offers a necessary time to shed in a sacred container that transforms the lessons learned in the previous moon cycle into higher consciousness, so that with the new lunar cycle you are ready to cast your seeds.
You will receive astrological downloads, a handcrafted stone medicine tonic, and experience a guided meditation and sound healing within an intentional container. Address and information will be emailed a few days prior to the live event.

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!
