Green River Green Love & Good Luck - Hemlock Treatment Volunteer Workday
2025-03-17 10:00 - 16:00 | Trail to Little Bradley waterfall, Little Bradley Trail, Saluda, 28773
Are you in need of some good luck? Come help us treat hemlocks to protect against hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) at Little Bradley Falls in Green River Game Land! We’ll be hosting a Volunteer Hemlock Treatment Workday for good luck on Monday, March 17th, from 10am – 4pm.
Hemlock trees are an essential and irreplaceable part of western North Carolina’s forests, but for over 20 years, they’ve been under threat from the hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)—an invasive insect that can kill trees in as little as four years.
Please note, volunteers will be working with insecticide and moving through the forest off trail in potentially challenging terrain. Every volunteer will be paired with an experienced, licensed professional who will provide instruction and guidance.
In case of inclement weather, the backup date will be Thursday, April 17th.
Reach out to Ayla at volunteer@savehemlocksnc.org or (828) 252-4783 with any questions. To learn how to register, visit our website. More details will be provided after registration.

Fundraiser for Limestone Gumption
2025-03-17 18:00 - 21:00 | Citizen Vinyl, 14 O'Henry Ave, Asheville, NC, 28801, United States
You are invited to a fundraiser for Limestone Gumption: The Stage Musical Comedy on Monday, March 17, 6-9pm. Free!
The free event will showcase top professional entertainment, side-splitting laughter, free delicious, hand-crafted food from Chef Michelle Bailey, and a cash bar. Hazel Brindley opens the show, riding a self-driving motorized piano on wheels around the room through tight twists and turns while playing your favorite hits on the keys!
The host of the fundraiser is the talented “DelightedToBeHere.” A live singing drag queen as seen on “America’s Got Talent” performs hilarious, fall-out-of-your-seat-laughing numbers.
The all-women band, Channeling Granny, performs original numbers from the production on fiddle, base, and guitar.
Be sure to wear your green. We’ll be celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day.
ABOUT THE MUSICAL COMEDY: Southern charm and religious values are currency, and townsfolk die of natural causes in the sleepy town of Whitecross. Until now. Who killed town football hero, Big Jake? When legal authorities fail to protect the women denizens of Whitecross, the Sisterfriends—members of the Women’s Preservation Club—take matters into their own hands to see that justice is served.
The surprising answers are revealed in a dark descent into the campy, musical romp. The mystery will keep you on the edge of your seat and make you fall out of it laughing. Or maybe even both!

Simon provides music for worship, ceremony, and prayer in a wide variety of churches and non-religious spiritual communities. He particularly loves to create music for meditation, healing services, and rites of passage.
Simon is also an experienced workshop and retreat leader, drawing on 15 years of study, training, and practice that grew from his time living and working in Iona Abbey. Although influenced by many traditions, Simon’s spiritual path and teaching are deeply rooted in Celtic Christianity, the wisdom of the earth, and the Scottish land where he’s spent most of his life. simondevoil.com
Join Simon for his spring residency at Kanuga for this special retreat. With Kanuga’s beautiful forested landscape as our sanctuary, each day will include a blend of wisdom teachings in the Celtic tradition, contemplative practices including song, chanting, and silence, and personal time for reflection.
Other retreat highlights include:
*Daily Birdsong Vespers, an inclusive outdoor worship that welcomes the evening with song and prayer, online and in person
*Tools and practices to support finding our place in the web of creation
*Spring Equinox Concert in celebration of spring equinox: Thursday, March 20, 7:15 p.m.
As evening falls and birdsong gives way to starlight and the frog chorus, welcome the return of spring with music to soothe the soul and nourish the spirit. Rain location: Chapel of The Transfiguration.

She Has A Voice - Junior League of Asheville
2025-03-18 17:30 - 19:30 | Eaton Corporation, 175 Vista Blvd, Arden, 28704
Women seeking a bold and confident approach to their business and profession, know creating meaningful connections is key to gaining respect, making sales, and building a tribe of supportive colleagues, clients and team members.

In “She Has a Voice” Barrie leads attendees through interactive practices to help embody confidence, express authenticity, and articulate a compelling message. Barrie believes in living boldly. She knows you have something to say and she wants to help you say it!
In this 2-hr. session, attendees will:
Improve and expand speaking skills.
Understand how non-verbal communication undermines authority.
Apply proven methods to turn down nervousness and amplify poise and presence.
Learn and apply the framework of crafting a speech
Understand and utilize the persuasive power of stories.

“It is only for the sake of those without hope that hope is given to us.” –Walter Benjamin
We will engage writer, historian, and activist, Rebecca Solnit and her friend Saket Soni in a discussion about recovery, rethinking, and rebuilding after the Hurricane Helene disaster in Western North Carolina.

Rebecca Solnit is the author of more than twenty books including Orwell’s Roses; Recollections of My Nonexistence; Hope in the Dark; Men Explain Things to Me; A Paradise Built in Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster; and A Field Guide to Getting Lost. Rebecca writes regularly for the Guardian, serves on the board of the climate group Oil Change International, and launched the climate project Not Too Late (nottoolateclimate.com).
Saket Soni is a labor organizer and human rights strategist working at the intersection of racial justice, migrant rights, and climate change. He is founder and director of Resilience Force, the voice of the rising workforce rebuilding America after climate disasters. He was profiled as an “architect of the next labor movement” in USA Today, chosen as a 2022-23 Aspen Institute Fellow, and was named one of Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business for 2022.
