📍 The Studio AVL — 34 Wall Street, Asheville, NC 28801
You’ve done the inner work.
You know how to name your patterns, ride the emotional waves, maybe even hold space for others.
But…
You still crave something deeper.
A place where your body can exhale.
Where healing doesn’t feel like a solo mission.
Where you can be held, celebrated, and activated alongside others who get it.
This is that space.
We’re Carissa & Eric—partners in love and in the wild vision of a more embodied, relational world.
We’ve walked through burnout, heartbreak, anxiety, and the kind of disconnection that healing work alone couldn’t quite touch.
This event is a call to come back into the body.
Into connection.
Into playful, powerful presence.
✨ What You’ll Experience:
❤️🔥 Grounding breathwork + guided meditation
❤️🔥 Somatic practices for regulation and joy
❤️🔥 Authentic relating & vulnerable connection
❤️🔥 Dance, movement, and community magic
🌟 You’ll Leave With:
💫 Practices to anchor yourself when the world feels chaotic
💫 Soul-nourishing connections with conscious humans
💫 A felt sense of possibility—in your body, your life, and your relationships
We believe healing is a path we must each walk ourselves, but we don’t need to walk it alone.
Healing can be embodied. It can be communal. It can be alive.
This isn’t just an event.
It’s the revolution.
A gathering of people who are ready to feel more free—together.
🎟️ Tickets
$44 – Individual

🍇 Light refreshments provided.
🌸 Space is intimate—reserve your spot early.
Come as you are. Leave more fully expressed.
We can’t wait to heal with you.

FEATURING COUCH, MEMBERS OF THE STEEP CANYON RANGERS & AUNT VICKI – To Benefit Longterm Regional Resiliency
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Footprint Project, Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and many other local partners stepped in to deploy solar and battery storage microgrid systems with a focus on restoring power, telecommunications, and clean drinking water to communities across Western North Carolina. In the months since this storm devastated the region, these partners continue to deploy clean energy solutions with more than 60 operational battery and solar projects on the ground serving North Carolinians. As part of plans for long-term regional resiliency, these partner organizations are working with local, state, and federal entities to deploy more clean energy solutions to serve the community in these next phases of recovery and to prepare for future storms. Join us for an evening of music at Sierra Nevada’s Mill River taproom to enjoy local artists and support regional recovery through clean energy solutions. Proceeds from this event to benefit Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council of Governments and their efforts to serve Western North Carolina.
The event will also feature short remarks from local leaders and recovery organizations about efforts made to date and future recovery needs that can be supported through clean energy solutions. AMPlify Appalachia will also kick off a recovery summit in the Asheville area hosted by Footprint Project and Land of Sky Regional Council.
Join us at Sierra Nevada’s Mills River High Gravity Room for a benefit concert to remember.
The Swell Season is back. After reconvening for a limited number of sold-out shows in March 2022, followed by a more extensive US tour in August 2023, the duo returns with new music. A studio session that started out as an effort to create a couple new singles to bring with them on tour, ended up yielding a full-length album, fittingly titled Forward. Although The Swell Season released a standalone single The Answer Is Yes in June 2023, Forward will be their first full length album in 16 years.The album consists of 8 tracks written by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, who take turns singing the lead.
On July 31, August 1, and 2, 2025, a different show will be presented live on stage each evening allowing you to appreciate the talent and dedication of the hundreds of musicians, dancers, and storytellers who are preserving the traditions of the Southern Appalachian Mountains. These traditions involve not only the hand-clapping, toe-tapping rhythms of Bluegrass, the style and stories of century-old ballads, the high energy of clogging, the elegance of Big Circle Mountain Smooth Dance, the fun and entertainment of storytelling, but also include an awareness of the hardships and trials that have brought us to this place and time.

Bill Kirchen: “Bill Does Bob”
In 1964 and 1965, a young Bill Kirchen made two pilgrimages from his home in Ann Arbor to the Newport Folk Festivals. Among many other wondrous things, he saw Dylan debut Mr. Tambourine Man in ’64, then go full on electric in ’65. Bill swears what he saw and heard at those Festivals ruined him for normal work. Bill brings his ace Texas band for songs and reminiscences from Dylan at the ground breaking Newport Festival shows in ’64 and ’65.
