SoulCollage® is a playful and transformative method that helps us acknowledge all aspects of self. The process helps us discover our unique inner/outer guides and challengers in life. Together we will explore and express ourselves by making our own personalized deck, sharing cards, journaling, and consulting our cards about our own life questions. We will use simple tools—images, 5×8 cards, scissors, and glue, so no artistic experience needed!

Open Studio is a time when supplies and space will be available to create cards for your deck. You can drop in for a little while or stay the entire time. New and experienced practitioners welcome! While this is mainly time for independent creation, Michelle will be there to chat, answer questions, provide tips, and guide you through the process. If you’ve been curious about SoulCollage® this is a great way to get started.

Bring your water bottle and something to journal with. All other supplies will be provided.
Materials Fee Contribution: $5.00/Card

Join us for a relaxing sound bath meditation led by David Heiss, Master gong player and sound healing musician. David has been playing gongs and facilitating sound healing journeys since 2012. You can learn more about his work at [​https://starsounds.love](https://www.starsounds.love/)

Leave the week’s stress behind as you relax and reset your nervous system with this special clearing crystal gong bath.

We will begin with a brief overview of the current astrology aspects in our sky. Then enjoy a powerful yet relaxing 45 min. gong meditation followed by an integration.

When the gong sings, you listen. You listen listens with every cell of your body. You hear it and feel it. You begin to sense more. The obscure sounds leave your brain guessing and eventually surrenders to the soundwave as you begin to relax, feel and heal. The vibrational frequencies can awaken stagnant energy. The experience is like a personal dream. There are moments during a gong meditation where the subconscious can become more conscious, where illumination and insight follows.

Suggested donations for this event are $20-40. Donations can be made at the event via cash or Venmo.

Please bring any comfort items you may desire: blankets, pillows, bolsters, eye mask, etc. We do not yet have enough community items for everyone.

A rare celestial alchemy unfolds On July 7th, 2025, Uranus—planet of awakening, disruption, and liberation—enters the air sign of Gemini, initiating a seven-year cycle of radical change in how we think, communicate, learn, and connect. This workshop is an invitation to explore the deeper meaning of this transit: a collective rewiring of the mental field, a shake-up of outdated narratives, and a call to innovate the ways we exchange information and truth. When Uranus makes its move, hold on to your hats and glasses, this will be a fast ride into the future. Lets talk about it, and prepare for success.

Together, we’ll delve into how this transit may stir revolution in education, technology, media, and consciousness—and how to align personally with the frequency of curious rebellion and conscious speech. Expect insights, chart examples, and space to vision your role in the coming wave of mental and social evolution.

Our Circle Agreements

🌑 All are welcome. There is no competition or hierarchy here—no one is above or below another. We meet as equals, honoring the wisdom within each of us.

🌑 Self-awareness over judgment. If judgment arises (because we are human), see it as an opportunity for self-reflection. We are all mirrors for one another.

🌑 Confidentiality and respect. This is a safe and sacred space. What is shared here stays here.

🌑 Honor your needs. Move as you need to—get water, use the restroom, grab a tissue. You are a sovereign being and can care for yourself as needed.

🌑 Emotions are sacred. There is no need to hold back, apologize, or adjust your emotions to fit others. Your experience is your own medicine.

🌑 Witness, don’t fix. We honor each other as whole beings. We hold space for one another without assuming needs or rushing to console. Simply witnessing is enough.

Join us for The HEAL Collective’s one-of-a-kind Summer Tour!

📅 Tuesday, July 29, 2025
🕔 5:00–7:30pm (doors open at 4:45)
📍 The Studio AVL — 34 Wall Street, Asheville, NC 28801

You’ve done the inner work.
You know how to name your patterns, ride the emotional waves, maybe even hold space for others.

But…
You still crave something deeper.
A place where your body can exhale.
Where healing doesn’t feel like a solo mission.
Where you can be held, celebrated, and activated alongside others who get it.

This is that space.

We’re Carissa & Eric—partners in love and in the wild vision of a more embodied, relational world.
We’ve walked through burnout, heartbreak, anxiety, and the kind of disconnection that healing work alone couldn’t quite touch.

This event is a call to come back into the body.
Into connection.
Into playful, powerful presence.

✨ What You’ll Experience:

❤️‍🔥 Grounding breathwork + guided meditation
❤️‍🔥 Somatic practices for regulation and joy
❤️‍🔥 Authentic relating & vulnerable connection
❤️‍🔥 Dance, movement, and community magic

🌟 You’ll Leave With:

💫 Practices to anchor yourself when the world feels chaotic
💫 Soul-nourishing connections with conscious humans
💫 A felt sense of possibility—in your body, your life, and your relationships

We believe healing is a path we must each walk ourselves, but we don’t need to walk it alone.
Healing can be embodied. It can be communal. It can be alive.

This isn’t just an event.
It’s the revolution.
A gathering of people who are ready to feel more free—together.

🎟️ Tickets
$44 – Individual
$77 – Bring a friend, partner, or fellow seeker and receive a discount

🍇 Light refreshments provided.
🌸 Space is intimate—reserve your spot early.

Come as you are. Leave more fully expressed.
We can’t wait to heal with you.
