Calendar of Events

This 5-day intensive yoga teacher training is designed to educate the student in the fundamentals of teaching a slower Vinyasa-flow style yoga class for beginning and intermediate students by focusing on the creation of a well-rounded sequence. The curriculum will encourage teachers to begin to intertwine the skills that they have been taught with those skills that they have acquired through their own personal practice. This will be accomplished using journaling exercises, practice teaching, and lecture.

Plan to leave this training with a completed class sequence and the ability to successfully design and build a safe slow flow class using peak poses, energetic awareness, and time management. This training is best for those who have some experience teaching but have not yet fine-tuned their own personal style or voice and who are looking to deepen their own understanding of self.

Reclaimed Creations is a unique sculpture exhibit created by renowned artist Sayaka Ganz. Utilizing reclaimed plastic objects, such as discarded utensils, Ganz creates amazing sculptures that visually appear unified at a distance, but are in fact separated when examined up close. Described as using a “3D impressionistic” style, Ganz’s exhibit includes installations of animals in motion, which are in rich in color and energy, to create an illusion of form.

About the Artist

Born in Yokohama, Japan, Sayaka Ganz grew up living in Japan, Brazil and Hong Kong. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Indiana University, Bloomington, and a Master of Fine Arts degree in sculpture from Bowling Green State University in Ohio. A lecturer and teacher, Ganz’s work has been displayed at various institutions around the globe, including the Hermann Geiger Foundation in Cecina, Italy, the Isle Gallery in Isle of Man, and the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California.

My work is about perceiving harmony, even in situations that appear chaotic from the inside. When observing my sculptures up close, one might see gaps, holes and items being held on only by small points; step away, however, and the sculptures reveal the harmony created when the objects are aligned to the same general (but not identical) direction. Similarly, it is important to gain perspective by stepping back from current problems and look at the larger picture. Then one can perceive the beauty and patterns that exist.”

Hundreds of families across the state of North Carolina are impacted by distracted driving every year, and we encourage the Legislature to pass a statewide cell phone ban to hopefully prevent more tragedy and loss of life.

We invite you to hear from local and national experts about distracted driving, and examine whether changes to
the state law would reduce the number of fatalities.

I have the utmost love and respect for this 5000+ year old tradition…I’ve studied many different lineages and forms, traveled and studied in India, and at yoga centers all over the world. These days, though, I am feeling the integration of all that wisdom with a more laid back, inclusive, and soulful approach- having a little more fun with it!

When reflecting on the current state of the environment, it seems that we have entered into times of seismic sorrows. Carbon emissions, water pollution, fracking, and changing climate patterns all point to a troubling reality with serious consequences for human and non-human populations. Through weavings, installations, sculpture, and print, artists Rena Detrixhe and Tali Weinberg (Tulsa, OK) explore the complex relationship between humans and the planet, offering insights, expressing grief, and creating space for resilience and change.

In Time of Seismic Sorrows is curated by Marilyn Zapf and organized by the Center for Craft. The Center for Craft is supported in part by the N.C. Arts Council, a division of the Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Enjoy a visit to Christmas pasts from the 1840s to the 1890s. Each room contains antique and reproduction decorations and traditions. Four live trees, one of which will be decorated with traditional Appalachian decorations, hand made by our SMH over History club.

The Haen Gallery, located in downtown Asheville, North Carolina, is proud to present their 12th Annual Lynn Boggess Exhibition. The exhibit will run through November.

Lynn Boggess is one of the most unique and noteworthy American landscape painters of the 21st Century. He resides in West Virginia, a state whose diverse mountains, forests, and rivers provide abundant inspiration for the artist’s plein air paintings. In place of brushes he uses palette knives and trowels to thickly layer the broad sweeping strokes and exquisite fine detail that capture all the colors of the seasons in rushing rivers, snow covered hillsides, and thick forest vegetation. Mr. Boggess’ work is recognized internationally for its incredible three-dimensional texture, rendered solely in oils. These remarkable paintings combine elements of Abstract Expressionism and Photorealism to create a style that is totally unique and original.

The Haen Gallery in Asheville is located at 52 Biltmore Avenue between City Bakery and Chestnut. There is a parking garage at the Aloft hotel across the street, another garage just up the hill, as well as street parking.

The gallery is open Monday through Saturday 11am-6pm & Sunday 12-5pm. For more information: 828-254-8577 or www.thehaengallery.com. Gallery contacts: Chris Foley, Director; Leslie Logemann, Gallery Manager.

With locations in Asheville and Brevard, The Haen Gallery offers the work of established artists whose distinctive and unique style sets it apart from ordinary and imitative efforts. Visit the website at thehaengallery.com.

Please note corrected date.

On Wednesday, Nov. 14, the City of Asheville will host an open house about the potential to create affordable housing on two City-owned properties. Everyone is invited to attend! Refreshments will be served.

Asheville, like many other high-cost housing markets, is using vacant or underutilized public land to develop affordable housing options for people at all economic levels and stages of life. This effort is a large part of the $25 million Affordable Housing Bond Initiative, which city residents passed in 2016.

“Open House: Redevelopment Sites/Affordable Housing”

The Site Assessments for 91 Riverside Drive, 319 Biltmore Avenue, and 171-179 S. Charlotte Street are moving along.

The City of Asheville would like you to come by next week and review the initial findings.

Anyone in the public can drop in between 4pm and 7pm on Wednesday November 14th (at 161 S. Charlotte Street- flyer attached) They really hope to see and hear from you.

Laissez les bons temps rouler! Let the Good Times Roll! Join us at Jargon on Thursday, November 15th for our first New Orleans-themed jazz dinner.

Chef Marcus Day gets back to his roots to present a one-night-only exclusive dinner menu designed around the culinary traditions of Louisiana. In addition to an array of small and large dishes to choose from, we’ll have LIVE New Orleans-style jazz, cocktails and desserts. Dining options will be presented à la carte, in lieu of our regular menu.

Some tantalizing highlights of the nights’ menu will include Trout Court Bouillon, a fresh Green Onion Sausage Charcuterie, Shrimp-Stuffed Mirliton and a Bread Pudding with Rum Sauce.
Chef Day’s grandmother, “a Creole lady who was a mean cook” (“mean”… as in “amazing”!) was a strong influence on him growing up, and inspired him to cook. He is very excited to take the dynamic and unique culture of New Orleans and bring it to the mountains.

And don’t forget about the music! Authentic New Orleans jazz will be presented by Les Chats Violet, (The Purple Cats) Alex Bradley, Lenny Petinelli and Kyle Snuffer, who are also members of Empire Strikes Brass.

Make a reservation online for November 15th on our website, with the Reserve app, or by calling the restaurant at 828-785-1761.
