BEER AND HYMNS Benefit
Aug 28 @ 7:00 pm
White Horse Black Mountain

White Horse is excited to launch a new monthly concert series, BEER AND HYMNS.

Beer & Hymns brings people together to raise our glasses, raise our voices, 

and raise funds for organizations that change the world.

The Beer and Hymns concept is simple:

Come together as a community once a month to:

  • sing hymns 
  • drink beer (or other beverages)
  • raise money for various nonprofits ( in the Swannanoa Valley in our case)

Group singing is loved and appreciated by many. For some they sing hymns every Sunday with other members of their faith community. Others may not have been inside a church for decade, but they miss the hymns and the sounds of voices joined together in song.

This event is intended for everyone in the community.

The Musical Director for tonight is AARON PRICE of Black Mountain Presbyterian Church

and the beneficiary is

THE SWANNANOA VALLEY CHRISTIAN MINISTRY

In addition to the joy of group singing, you’ll be raising money for various charitable organizations in Black Mountain and the Swannanoa Valley. Each month a different local nonprofit will be selected as the beneficiary of the monthly event.

Mary Magdalene
Sep 5 @ 7:00 pm
Online

Mary Magdalene Sacred Circle
I invite you to meditate with me and commune with Mary Magdalene’s sacred mysteries for healing, personal transformation and self mastery.

About this Event

Every nature, every modeled form, every creature, exists in and with each other. -Mary 2:2
You are the keepers of sacred magic, the template of the divine feminine, protector of the Holy Grail, the goddess, the Holy of Holies. She is known by many, many names, Magdalene being one. Keepers of the sacred flame, you are being called to come together in community to be held, seen, and to heal your wounds, our wounds of separation, struggle, and profound forgetting. Together, we will awaken, shift, heal, and evolve. Stepping forward with our unique light, truth, and expression of the divine in physical form. As we heal one and awaken, we heal the many, lifting the planetary vibration and collective consciousness together. We will unite all aspects of her beauty, wisdom, power, and grace. We will rise as one, shining in our greatest love.
-AW
Mary Magdalene’s story is shrouded in mystery and mysticism. In the sacred circle, we invoke her truth, wisdom, deep love and reverence for visceral teaching, clearing and activation.
Each month we will gather to connect and commune with the essence of this visionary aspect of divine feminine. We will explore the alchemy of Mary Magdalene in relationship to her Divine attributes of mysticism, love, sacred sexuality, Divine adoration, surrender, faith, and unity consciousness to awaken deeper levels of the Divine feminine to RISE with YOU!
I will offer teachings on alchemical interventions and guided meditation to invite the Divine Feminine to rise in greater ways of clarity, vibrancy and empowerment in your life.
Recurring every 1st Tuedsay of the month, 7:00-7:30pm EST
For questions please contact Adora: [email protected]

IC Imagine Fine Arts 5k
Sep 9 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
IC Imagine

Join us for the 8th Annual IC Imagine Fine Arts 5k and Fun Run on Saturday, September 9th!


We invite you to attend as a participant, sponsor, volunteer or spectator, and encourage you to share this event with family, friends and business associates. The more the merrier! All proceeds from this annual event benefit our Fine Arts Department.


This race specifically benefits the Fine Arts department at IC Imagine.

When IC Imagine first opened in 2014 our Fine Arts staff consisted of three people and our students were able to put on three public performances throughout the school year – 2 band concerts and 1 chorus concert, all of which only involved students in 5th-10th grades. This year, we have ten Fine Arts staff members and our students are scheduled to particiate in over 50 performances throughout the year. Our Fine Arts programs are growing and thriving and we could not be more proud of our students and teachers that are providing these amazing experiences to our community. We have the opportunity to expand our programs even more with our new building and space, but we need your help. Your support goes directly to providing throwing wheels for our visual arts students to study ceramics, purchasing band instruments, allowing our choral students to sing new music at each performance, and outfitting our new performing arts center with sound and lighting equipment.
