About the instructors:

Corey Brown, LPC, RYT 500, C-IAYT
Corey Brown is a Facilitator at Sacred Roots Wellness, LLC. Corey blends wisdom, humility and compassion as an accomplished counselor, teacher, guide and mentor. She currently will be teaching some of our Level 1 trainings in the SouthEast.

With her natural gift of joyful and trusting connections with others, Corey offers an outstretched hand to anyone who is struggling to regain his or her wild, authentic self.

Through her own personal experiences, education and training, Corey realizes that the solution to most of our challenges come down to the most simple of resolutions:

To acknowledge the goodness of who we were before the world burdened us with its unrealistic and cultural expectations that caused us to disconnect from each other and drift away from the beauty, delight, and celebration a self-actualized life offers.

The need to connect with our true, loveable selves so that we can then connect, with faith and love, to those we meet along the way as we journey through this sacred life.

Joy comes from the courage to fully experience our feelings including sorrow, pain, and suffering. These feelings, particularly the intense ones, are pathways toward fertile ground, which nurtures deep connection to others and ourselves.

We will discuss cones, kilns, firing dynamics and principles as well as applying those principles to various firing cycles. This will lead us into some basic classifications of glazes, like ash, celadon, temmoku, etc. We will discuss how and why each type of glaze works and how you can achieve them, how to adjust your glazes and how to find new ones.

The Watauga Riverkeeper and MountainTrue are combating sediment erosion in our local waterways. Sediment is a major polluter in our river basin, clogging fish and aquatic habitats, increasing water temperatures, and transporting toxic substances. We are helping to reduce the amount of sediment that flows into our rivers by planting live-stakes along eroding riverbanks. These stakes will grow into trees that will stabilize the sides of the rivers and creeks where we plant them, and will reduce the overall amount of sediment getting into the river. So, come hop in a boat, or wade and help us reduce erosion along our local rivers!

I am more empowered to refuse to deal with conflict in a negative way.. You have this calm aura around you… Thank you for that! Plus you make my brain work :) – Lisa Wilcox

Variety of modalities. Very creative in making it interesting and meaningful. – Dr Pegge Saylor

I seem able to «extract» myself from the immediate drama and to have a less emotional perspective on my current situation. – Roger Beaumont

For me, these 3 sessions gave a glimpse into the world of sound and community as an inspiration towards manifesting the desires that many of us vocalized in the group that was present. What kind of world do we want to live in? – Christine Westfeldt

Join us for the 2019 Cider Crawl through the River Arts District and West Asheville. We’ll have a flight of three craft ciders (to be named the week of) available.

https://www.facebook.com/events/336793880294161/

2019 Map Link: https://bit.ly/2tV6G7V

Full Lineup coming Friday at 10am!

Last year we had over 50 ciders at 15 stops. This year we are going to make it even better! Expect more exclusive cider releases for the crawl and expansion of the crawl to include the RAD, so look out for some fun new stops including Daidala’s Tasting Room.

About Cider Crawl:
Cider crawl is a self-guided crawl allowing you to engage with a variety of restaurants, bars and bottle shops. Each stop will showcase cider in their own way, doing what they do best.

The list of stops, ciders, cider cocktails and food pairings hosts stops are featuring will be released a week or so before the event. You get to pick and choose how you spend your afternoon and evening.

The crawls’ hope is that you explore new places and new ciders all while drinking what you love and supporting your local community. You will find only locally-owned businesses and a focus on North Carolina cideries and craft cider!
