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!

Description: Winter can be the most beautiful time of the year at Chimney Rock. Leafless trees make for expansive views of Lake Lure and the Hickory Nut Gorge. The sky is clear; you’re likely to find a quiet spot to sit and enjoy the peacefulness. You may even see a critter scamper by you in the forest. Capture that special moment or scene on your camera, enter it in our Winter Wonders Photo Contest and tell us about it. We’ll use the winning entries on our website and Facebook album, and you’ll win some fun prizes. Photos must be taken within the Chimney Rock section of the Park.

Cost: No additional cost to enter.

We are leaving shame, perfectionism, and performance at the door as we travel deep to the depths through dance. We dance to access the truth, to heal, to surrender, to know Self. We will be dancing to the depths, transcending consciousness, to the unknown. It is there that we come face to face with truth and acceptance.

It’s a beautiful space to say yes to YOU!!!

My body will open the door and guide you throughout the workshop. Your role is to stay present with your body and trust its innate wisdom. All emotions, movements, sounds, breathing, and expressions are WELCOME in this held space.

Our bodies are capable of more than we can often comprehend and have access to limitless amounts of information. Let’s open to that together!

No experience necessary ~ I will guide you

$15 ~ pre-registration
$20 ~ at the door

Experience art at a new level and use it to inspire your writing.

Poet Jodie Hollander teaches this workshop, in which participants respond poetically to exhibitions. Students will study examples of celebrated poems that respond to or were inspired by art. Then students will be led through a variety of writing activities inspired by the art of Who’s Afraid of RED? curated by Barbara Fisher, ultimately leading to a draft of an original poem. Students will discuss poetic techniques such as meter, the use of vivid imagery, the importance of sonics, how to shape a poetic line as well as techniques for drafting and revision. No experience necessary.
