The Sowing Circle Series will hold a free Zoom presentation on identifying and preventing common invasive plants in WNC.
Non-native invasive plants introduced into North Carolina are causing problems for our native plant and animal species. These plants are taking over our natural areas, parks, forests, urban environments, yards, and gardens. We have invited Barb Harrison, Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener, to teach you how to recognize and identify the most common invasive plants in our area and how to reduce their spread.
Registration required. This talk is sponsored by Black Mountain Blooms Seed Lending Library and Buncombe County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers. Come join our gardening community and grow with us!

How can we change the pattern in which the cultural expression of the majority dominates other cultures?
This Devotional will include prayers and music, connecting with our spiritual nature, and illuminating the oneness of humanity.
A Zoom link will be sent in advance to those who register.
Presenter: Nina Shippen, Landscape Designer and Owner, Hidden Road Landscape Design
Designing a landscape is like creating a sculpture that we walk through. We are shaping space. What does the design of that space contribute to a satisfying experience in the garden? On the other hand, what detracts from it?
During this talk, we will explore design fundamentals such as scale, balance, coherence, context, texture, and color. We will review the landscape design process, starting with the all-important site assessment. Insights gleaned from both successes and failures will be salted throughout the presentation.
Come join us and find your landscaping answers.
Registration: The talk is free but registration is required. Please click on the link below to register. If you encounter problems registering or if you have questions, call 828-255-5522.

On Thursday, September 17, 2020 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm the Center will discuss the second film in our Reel Spirit Film Project series—The Truman Show (1998), a comedy/drama/science fiction film starring Jim Carrey, Ed Harris, and Laura Linney, and directed by Peter Weir. This movie is an allegory dealing with timeless questions and dilemmas: Is each of us alone? Who is really in control? What or who pulls our strings? Can we break the illusion? If so, what will it take to do so? Join us for a discussion of the life and decisions of Truman Burbank and how these might relate to our own lives.

Earthdance Asheville is collaborating with producers around the world to produce a one main, live-streamed festival to be aired on Earthdance.tv. This is centered on our traditional synchronized meditation, happening at 7:00 PM (ET) on September 19th.

In this enchanted hotbed for the Arts; dancing, farming, music, and beer are just some of the ways we keep it weird around here.
For Vision 2020: Co-Manifestival we are excited to bring you a weekend’s worth of talented presenters, hailing from Berkeley to the Bays of Puerto Rico!
…and for the first time EVER, Earthdance Asheville is also working with the Global XR Community to provide you with an Xtended Reality experience as we manifest our Multiverse.

How ’bout them Apples?
We post each Thursday morning any ripening updates in the orchard. Remember we are an heirloom apple orchard. Our mission is to save the good stuff…including apple varieties. In addition to trees that fruit during the normal late September/October season in greater quantity, also we plant small batch numbers of heirloom apple trees. Some ripen earlier (an unexpected gift); all have their uses from apple sauce, to butters, to juice and ciders, and just fresh eating off the trees. They won’t all be available all the time. But, when they are, we’ll let you know. Please come and see for yourself.
