When it comes to Breast Cancer, we know that early detection saves lives! The Buncombe County Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) offers free lifesaving mammograms to qualifying Buncombe women and transgender individuals who don’t have health insurance. “Last program year, over 1,000 qualifying residents got free mammograms,” reports BCCCP coordinator, Melanie Evans. Melanie continues, “Thanks to our services, eight of those women were diagnosed with breast cancer and were able to seek treatment.”
Receiving a cancer diagnosis is life-changing news. “At Buncombe County BCCCP, we do our best to show up for all of our clients in this emotional time,” says Melanie. “We are here to hold your hand through testing, potential diagnosis, and subsequent treatment to make sure you have all the support and information you need.”
We also offer resources to cover the cost of cancer treatment! NC Breast and Cervical Cancer Medicaid is available to help all individuals who receive a cancer diagnosis through the BCCCP program, pay for cancer treatment. This added layer of service allows those who receive a cancer diagnosis to focus of self-care and healing instead of expensive medical bills.
One of our clients lost her job during COVID. Here is what she had to say about our services:
” What I thought would be no more than 2 months out of work, turned into 7 which challenged me in many ways, financially included. The services and assistance you all offered me was exceptional. The entire cost for my breast imaging was covered and I was able to rest assured that I am cancer free. Please know that you greatly enhance people’s lives and truly are a godsend to this community. ”
Remember, early detection saves lives. Find out if you qualify for BCCCP services on our website www.buncombecounty.org/pink. If you meet eligibility criteria and are in need of your annual mammogram, call (828) 250-6006 to schedule your appointment today.
Be a lifesaver and share this information. Do you have friends or family who may qualify for BCCCP services? Send them a link to this article. You could be the one who saves their life.
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!

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.
