45 minute meditation with sharing.

How is this 3-part Active meditation different?

It incorporates body, mind, heart and spirit, through both activity and stillness.

You can move your body!

We use lots of different moods of great music—from quiet instrumental, to intense, to longing to dance songs.

You can move through stored up emotions to help you calm your mind.

You learn how to think in a focused, organized way.

You can have profound spiritual experiences.

Bring a journal, pen, and hand towel from home if you have one (the studio will provide if you forget).

Join us at our next Council Conversation on November 19, 2018 at the Henderson County Health Sciences Center – Room 2003 – 801 Sixth Avenue West. This meeting will be hosted by Councilman Jerry Smith.

In an effort to improve communication between the City Council and Hendersonville residents, the City Council will be hosting five community meetings throughout the City of Hendersonville. These meetings or “Council Conversations” will be held at strategic locations in Hendersonville. According to Mayor Barbara Volk, “the Council has made it a priority to meet with our citizens to discuss our vision for the community and receive feedback about what we are doing well and what we can improve on. We believe the best way to do this is to get out of City Hall and meet our residents in or near their neighborhoods.” Each meeting will be hosted by an individual council member with the City Manager and staff in attendance to help answer questions or provide information. Out of respect to everyone’s time, each “conversation” will be limited to one hour. Mayor Pro Tem Ron Stephens stated, “We hope these meetings will be well attended, because we want to hear from our residents!”

The 2018 Council Conversations are planned for the following dates and locations:

October 15, 2018 – Union Grove Baptist Church – 901 Robinson Terrace – 7:00 PM – Hosted by Mayor Barbara Volk

October 29, 2018 – Hendersonville Church of Christ – 1975 Haywood Road – 7:00 PM – Hosted by Mayor Pro Tem Ron Stephens

November 5, 2018 – Ebenezer Baptist Church – 2557 Chimney Rock Road – 6:00 PM – Hosted by Councilman Jeff Miller

November 19, 2018 – Henderson County Health Sciences Center – Room 2003 – 801 Sixth Avenue West – 6:00 PM – Hosted by Councilman Jerry Smith

December 3, 2018 – Henderson County Chamber of Commerce 204 Kanuga Road – 7:00 PM – Hosted by Councilman Steve Caraker

The City Council has made an effort to locate a meeting in close proximity to all Hendersonville residents. However, residents are welcome to attend the meeting that is most convenient for them.

Service industry workers are the backbone of the Asheville economy. Without us the bars, restaurants, shops, and hotels would shut down. So then why is it that the majority of us continue to work without a living wage, reliable scheduling, or respect on the job? We share these issues and many more, but what can we do about it?

Join us for discussions on the challenges we face as service industry workers and how we can work together to improve our lives. The assembly will take place at Kairos West at 610 Haywood Rd, Asheville, NC 28806 (directly below Firestorm).

Food will be provided!

This class is both nourishing + deeply trains the core.
Every Monday, meet Buti Yoga Master Trainee Judy M. Nemeth on the mat for DEEP at Primal Studios! ??

DEEP by Buti Yoga is a restorative movement sequence that utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique to connect mind to muscle and catalyze vibrational changes on a cellular level.

The class focuses on:
? a deep core workout but does not contain cardio
? micro-movements with physical touch to connect the brain to innervated muscle
? deep hip and shoulder stretches
? allow yourself to wind down + focus.

DEEP is designed to prevent injury, restore innervation and assist in the recovery of bladder/uterine prolapse and diastasis recti. The class structure also includes self-massage and pressure point activation to release muscles during deep asanas. There is no cardio or plyometrics, just a whole lot of deep engagement on the mat!

Reclaimed Creations is a unique sculpture exhibit created by renowned artist Sayaka Ganz. Utilizing reclaimed plastic objects, such as discarded utensils, Ganz creates amazing sculptures that visually appear unified at a distance, but are in fact separated when examined up close. Described as using a “3D impressionistic” style, Ganz’s exhibit includes installations of animals in motion, which are in rich in color and energy, to create an illusion of form.

About the Artist

Born in Yokohama, Japan, Sayaka Ganz grew up living in Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A lecturer and teacher, Ganz’s work has been displayed at various institutions around the globe, including the Hermann Geiger Foundation in Cecina, Italy, the Isle Gallery in Isle of Man, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.

My work is about perceiving harmony, even in situations that appear chaotic from the inside. When observing my sculptures up close, one might see gaps, holes and items being held on only by small points; step away, however, and the sculptures reveal the harmony created when the objects are aligned to the same general (but not identical) direction. Similarly, it is important to gain perspective by stepping back from current problems and look at the larger picture. Then one can perceive the beauty and patterns that exist.”
