COVID-19 is not a food-borne illness. It is extremely unlikely that someone will catch it through eating. The virus is most likely to cause illness through respiratory transmission. The routes to be concerned about include being in very close proximity to many people, or coming in contact with high touch surfaces.

Thank you for your continued support during these unprecedented times!

Live Morning Didgeridoo Meditation
Apr 5 @ 7:30 am – 8:00 am
online

Tune in with me on Facebook Live each morning at 7:30am for a 20 minute live meditation with didgeridoo. I’ll be guiding you through simple and effective ways that will help you to:

  • Calm your nervous system
  • Become more resilient to stress
  • Get you ready for the day and evening

The intention is for you to learn this simple skillset quickly and use it right now to stay centered, balanced and show up for yourself, your family, and your community.

The more of us that can do that, the better! I hope to see you soon.  

Warmly, 

Corey Costanzo

Driving Miss Daisy
Apr 5 @ 2:00 pm
Hendersonville Community Theatre

HCT is proud to present, Driving Miss Daisy, the winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and the Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway
Play. A warm-hearted, humorous and affecting study of the unlikely relationship between an aging, crotchety white Southern lady, and a proud, soft-spoken chauffer . A long-run Off-Broadway success and an Academy Award-winning film. —a perfectly poised and shaped miniature on the odd-couple theme.—NY Post

Well
Apr 5 @ 2:00 pm
NC Stage Company

Well is a funny and touching comedy about mothers and daughters, mind over body, social activism and theatre itself. Lisa, the onstage playwright, attempts a memory play about her force-of-nature mother, Ann, who though constantly ill manages to heal a community. The playwright asks the provocative question: “Do we create our own illness?” The answers she gets are much more complicated than she bargained for as the play spins dangerously out of control into riotously funny and unexpected territory.

Tapping into Purpose, Power & Passion Online
Apr 8 @ 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm
Sun Woman online

*Strengthen your commitment to your inner truth.
*Feel more solid and resourceful.
*Fuel your purpose with your passion and power.

This worldwide pause and everything that is happening can be a little scary. There are many unknowns and that can put us in a very negative, unresourceful place where we are left feeling powerless. Yet, we have the opportunity to make this a pivotal time in our lives. As in the Heroes Journey, where the heroine steps into her power and turns it all around.

There is no better time than now, to reassess and take inventory of our lives. Have you created a spiritually fulfilling life? A life of meaning and purpose? Have you fully stepped into your power to offer your true gifts?

In this session, we will use tapping, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help move beyond fear and anxiety and bring forward and strengthen your core passion.

This is a video-on type of meeting because I want to see you.
