We all know that muscles make us move, but do we know what it feels like to be in all our tissues when we move? What does it feel like when we focus on our skin, fascia, or bones? In this 4-week series we will explore what it feels like to initiate movement from different tissues and to “listen” to what each “says”. We will also explore what it feels like to “share energy” throughout the rest of the body with areas that feel depleted or less energetic than others.

All paints and supplies will be provided, and you can order beer, wine, craft spiked seltzer or kombucha to sip on while you paint. The Tin Kitchen Food Truck will also be on site if you get hungry. I will lead you step-by-step through the painting process so you end up with a beautiful portrait of your furry friend!

Susi Gott Séguret presents Child of the Woods: An Appalachian Odyssey
Child of the Woods is a uniquely beautiful collection of short stories and observations from Susi Seguret’s experiences growing up in the natural settings of rural Appalachia.
Immerse yourself in the vibrant and exciting world of Appalachia! Child of the Woods is an exploration of the world through the eyes of a young child, whose life was defined and enriched by nature that surrounded her. This collection of short stories and insights highlights the wonders of growing up in rural Appalachia, learning to live as one with the land. These stories embrace the universal themes of self-discovery, adventure, and finding one’s place in a living world.
Susi Gott Séguret was born and raised in the woods of the Appalachian Mountains, in Western North Carolina. During her 20-year trek around Europe spent honing her culinary expertise, Susi remained connected to nature, hunting mushrooms in the forèt d’Orleans and bouldering in the forèt de Fontainebleau. Today, Susi leads foraging expeditions in Blue Ridge and teaches others how to blend the elegance of French cuisine with the simplicity of mountain ingredients. She is the author of Appalachian Appetite.

We’ve been talking to the folks from Bardic Alchemy, a Celtic Rock band from Asheville and they’ve agreed to play at Triskelion as many Tuesdays as they can come down to the Brewery.
Bardic Alchemy is a brand new element in the Celtic Rock world. This trio, based in the mountains of Asheville, North Carolina is comprised of multi-instrumentalist Connell Sanderson, guitarist Nick Marcone and percussionist and vocalist Tyler Watts.
Bardic Alchemy is best described as a psychedelic trip into a musical world that is heavily inspired by the Celtic musical traditions…run through various effects pedals. Everything from soothing, mellifluously reverberating whistle melodies supported by groovy guitar lines and thumping djembe beats to high energy dance tunes on the Scottish and Irish pipes to three part vocal harmonies and even improvised pieces, Bardic Alchemy is a surprisingly dynamic and unpredictable musical journey.
So… Tuesdays… will now be…
Celtic Rock Tuesday!
