Enjoy original local Asheville music anywhere.

We recently put out a “call for musicians” to create a compilation that is Asheville. We were blown away by the response and the talent in this town! And with COVID-19 putting a temporary halt to live music, now is the perfect time to begin sharing this playlist for you to enjoy from the safety of your own couch. While you’ll likely recognize some of these artists, there are many new ones that you’ll love to discover.

We’ll be adding new local music to our Spotify playlist every week for your enjoyment.

Yep, that means fresh local music. Free access all the time! Coming soon additional songs by The Styrofoam TurtlesHope GriffinBombassicVia and more!

 Check out the first 10 songs on our playlist on Spotify, and tell us which local artist you dig the most!  Stay tuned…

Live Morning Didgeridoo Meditation
Apr 29 @ 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

ps If you miss the live meditation, check our website later in the day. We will be uploading all recordings.
