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.

Ages 18+
For nearly a decade, We Hate Movies has been ripping on the worst movies to hit the big screen, including white-guy-karate pictures, modern-day superhero epics, or misbegotten 90s thrillers. On their first full tour of 2019, hosts Andrew Jupin, Stephen Sajdak, Chris Cabin, and Eric Szyszka bring their antic and uproarious takes on bad movies to the stage once again. The boys will be on hand to break down everything from incomprehensible accents and cheap CGI to dated references and one liners that make you yearn for the sweet embrace of the grave. There might also be talk of Secundus and cold Burger King. Film to be announced.
