Save the date for the 14th Annual HEAL Retreat. That’s right! Retreat; not Conference.
This year, instead of more workshops and CEs we’re shifting gears and preparing for a full day of care-for-the-provider sessions and connection. We’ll have dynamic speakers and networking while we spend a gorgeous WNC fall day rejuvenating. Doesn’t that sound so good!? After this past year and now with re-entry to ‘normal,’ this is how we have chosen to provide professional development for eating disorders clinicians in 2021. Stay tuned for more information soon. For now… please just put it on your calendar and plan to be with us on Friday, October 8th! Ahhhhhhh
WNC Garlic Fest was founded by Sow True Seed with the aim of bringing the awesome world of garlic to the awesome people of Western Northern Carolina. In 2019 The Utopian Seed Project took over as event organizer, but continues to work with Sow True Seed as event partners.
At its heart, WNC Garlic Fest is a celebration of all things garlic. The festival brings together local garlic-inspired vendors to create a family friendly farmers market feel infused with so much garlic! The WNC Garlic Trail is an unforgettable experience of local creativity and flavors as participating vendors offer garlic infused samples. And our commitment to education and growing gives everyone an opportunity to learn about growing great garlic.

May we align our breath to sync with the beating of our hearts, healing ourselves and this planet from the inside out. Wandering through this life we connect with the elements.
Through the earth, our breath, and Yoga we ground deep in our roots.
The air is wild, free and full of possibility.
Water nourishes our souls while reminding us to go with the flow.
We ignite the fire of passion and light an awakening within, becoming one with the elements and connecting under one sun.
