Join us for The HEAL Collective’s one-of-a-kind Summer Tour!
📅 Tuesday, July 29, 2025
🕔 5:00–7:30pm (doors open at 4:45)
📍 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
$77 – Bring a friend, partner, or fellow seeker and receive a discount
🍇 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.
