SUMMARY:Blue Ridge Orchestra's "Finding Home"\, Sunday Performance
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Ridge Orchestra introduces its 25th Anniversary Season with two performances of “Finding Home.” This series debuts new Music Director\, Dr. Emily Mariko Eng.  \nThe Blue Ridge Orchestra had originally planned to perform “Finding Home” for the season opening in October. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene\, we have rescheduled our “Finding Home” performances to December\, in recognition of the heroic and tireless efforts of our region\, our state\, and our country\, to rally around rebuilding and restoring our beloved home of Asheville and Western North Carolina.  \nPlease join the Blue Ridge Orchestra for this tribute\, in two 3:00 pm concerts: on Saturday\, December 7th in Charles Beall Auditorium of Haywood Community College; and on Sunday\, December 8th in Lipinsky Auditorium\, UNC Asheville. Finding Home elicits the many emotions that accompany life’s journey and explorations. Experiencing the magic of both urban and rural environments\, far away destinations\, and the familiarity of home\, this concert will include Quinn Mason’s Inner City Rhapsody\, Copland’s Letter from Home\, Gershwin’s American in Paris\, and Carlos Simon’s The Block! We are proud to feature renowned baritone Isaiah Feken on Mahler’s Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen and of course we will include holiday favorites…In the wake of Hurricane Helene\, this program is all the more poignant\, bringing our community together with its inspiring music.  \nThis is a pivotal year for the Blue Ridge Orchestra. Dr. Emily Mariko Eng is excited to begin her tenure as Music Director of the Blue Ridge Orchestra\, after guest conducting Schumann’s Symphony No. 1 in last season’s Spring Fourth concert. Originally from New Hampshire\, Emily serves on the music faculty at UNC Asheville\, where she is Director of Wind Bands. Prior to her role at UNC Asheville\, Emily earned a DMA in Conducting from the University of Georgia\, an MM in Conducting from New England Conservatory\, and a BS in Biochemistry and Music Composition from Brandeis University. \n “This concert program explores many meanings of home: finding community\, discovering a sense of self\, pioneering one’s artistic voice\, feeling at peace even in a faraway land. Following the devastation from Hurricane Helene\, we are looking forward to coming together as an orchestra and providing comfort through music.” \nThe Blue Ridge Orchestra has been making quality\, symphonic music accessible to audiences across WNC since 1999. Comprised of over fifty talented local musicians who volunteer their time to practice\, rehearse\, and perform\, the BRO has showcased its talents in Asheville\, Canton\, Swannanoa\, Black Mountain\, and Clyde.  \nFinding Home is generously sponsored by Mosaic Community Lifestyle Realty. \nDetails: Blue Ridge Orchestra’s Finding Home\nSaturday\, December 7th\, 2024\, 3:00 pm\nHaywood Community College\nCharles Beall Auditorium\n185 Freedlander Drive\nClyde\, NC. 28721 \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission: $25\nStudents (ages 5+): $15 \nSunday\, December  8th\, 2024\, 3:00 pm\nUNC Asheville\nLipinsky Auditorium\n300 Library Lane\nAsheville\, NC. 28804 \nTickets:\nGeneral Admission: $20\nFriends of the Orchestra: $15\nStudents: $5\nChildren 6 and under: Free \nInfo: https://blueridgeorchestra.org/finding-home-dec-24\,  Facebook\, Instagram\, or call 828-782-3354.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Treatment Volunteer Workday at Violet Hill Cemetery
DESCRIPTION:The Hemlock Restoration Initiative is hosting a Hemlock Treatment Volunteer Workday on Tuesday\, December 10th from 11:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Violet Hill Cemetery in Asheville\, NC. \nHemlock trees in western North Carolina are an important and irreplaceable component of our forests. These trees have been suffering for over two decades from hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA)\, an invasive insect that can kill the tree in as little as four years. \nCome help us treat hemlocks in this beautiful area! This volunteer day will involve re-treating healthy hemlocks around the cemetery area on mostly flat terrain\, great for those interested in a less strenuous day. \nOn HRI chemical treatment workdays\, volunteers treat hemlocks with insecticide to protect them from hemlock woolly adelgid. Every volunteer will be paired with an experienced\, licensed professional who will provide instruction and guidance. For more questions and to register\, reach out to Ayla at volunteer@savehemlocksnc.org.

SUMMARY:Innerdance: Altered States of Consciousness with Soundscapes & Energy Work
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a healing journey into altered states of consciousness as we flow through brain wave states with soundscapes & energy work! \nThe Innerdance is a music-based\, meditative\, healing journey. It involves the use of special soundscapes that mimic circadian rhythms and enable people to move effortlessly between different brain wave states. As a result\, people experience an expanded sense of awareness and altered states of consciousness that support conditions for self-healing\, as old paradigms change and new ways of being emerge. \nIn this space of unlimited possibilities\, very profound and mystical things can happen. Common ‘movements’ in the Innerdance include drug-free psychedelic experiences\, past life regressions\, lucid dream-like states\, near-death experiences\, kundalini activations\, synesthesia\, non-dual awareness\, and womb/birth memories. \nBenefits may include nervous system regulation\, circadian rhythm reset\, mental clarity\, inner peace\, greater neural plasticity\, increased intuitive discernment\, emotional regulation\, improved self-esteem\, deep insight\, and enhanced sensory perception. \nLearn More on my YouTube Channel: @linda.innerdance \nMy Innerdance Experience \n \nUnexpected Things That Can Happen In The Innerdance \n \nThe Innerdance Soundscapes vs Sound Baths \n \nINVESTMENT $45\n(Advance Tickets available for purchase from The Horse Shoe Farm only) \nTo register\, please visit https://thehorseshoefarm.com/upcoming-events \nTo purchase advance tickets\, please call 828.393.3034 \nDATES: \nWednesdays 6:00pm – 7:30pm \nSeptember 4\, 18\nOctober 2\, 16\, 30\nNovember 13\, 27\nDecember 11 \nEvent will take place at The Horse Shoe Farm in The Sanctuary.

SUMMARY:Hemlock Hike at DuPont State Recreational Forest
DESCRIPTION:Please join us on Thursday\, December 12th at 1:00 pm for an educational hemlock hike with the Hemlock Restoration Initiative at DuPont State Recreational Forest near Cedar Mountain\, NC. The hike is about 3.5 miles total round-trip\, and is considered easy to moderate terrain. \nWe will walk along Pitch Pine Trail\, Three Lakes Trail\, and Conservation Road. Along the way\, we will traverse through one of our Hemlock Conservation Areas (HCAs). We will cover the ecological importance of hemlocks in riparian areas\, what is threatening them\, what is being done about it\, and more. \nThis HCA is very special\, as it is a site of active Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practice- it is managed using many different methods to protect our hemlocks from hemlock woolly adelgid. These methods include chemical\, biological\, and silvicultural controls. We will pass through active research plots and discuss the work that is being done to find the best way(s) to protect our hemlocks for years to come.  \nPlease note that although the trail is open and clear\, some overhead hazards remain present. \nWe’ll meet at the DSRF visitors center. More information about the meeting location and what to bring will be provided after registering. \nFor any questions or to register\, contact Olivia Hall at education@savehemlocksnc.org or 828-252-4783.

SUMMARY:The Campfireball: Humans vs. Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse\, here come the Holidays breathing down our necks. Sure\, it starts out nice\, pretty decorations\, warm feelings\, but all that slowly starts to crumble as we stress ourselves to the brink searching for the perfect gift\, or not being able to escape our weird family\, or being reminded or our fundamental loneliness. At The Campfireball: Humans vs. Holidays at Story Parlor on December 12th you finally have a chance to fight back.  In this battle for the ages\, the audience will go toe-to-toe with the ghosts of Christmases  past\, present\, and future (plus all the other holidays from ‘this time of year’) in a part game-show\, part existential escape room\, part group therapy immersive storytelling experience. Mark your calendars\, the fate of humanity depends on you.

SUMMARY:Exhibition | Moving Stillness: Mount Rainier\, 1979
DESCRIPTION:Bill Viola’s Moving Stillness: Mount Rainier\, 1979 on loan from Art Bridges is an immersive experience that explores the ideas of death and regeneration in nature. In a darkened room\, sounds from nature envelop the viewer\, as a placid pool of water reflects a projected image of Mount Rainier onto a screen. The water is periodically disturbed\, causing the image to dissolve and slowly recompose as the pool settles. \nImage: Bill Viola\, “Moving Stillness: Mount Rainier 1979” (1979)\, Video/sound installation.

I am grateful to the good people of St John in the Wilderness and the greater Flat Rock community and beyond who have supported my efforts as I will be entering my sixth year of performing this wonderful\, heartfelt story\,” said Dr. Haire. \nThe show is free to the public but seating is limited to 60 people per performance and RSVP is required.  The direct link is http://bit.ly/christmasmemory24 or visit www.stjohnflatrock.org.  Face masks are optional. \nA Christmas Memory takes place during the Great Depression of the 1930s.  Until he was ten years old\, Truman Capote lived with elderly relatives in a small town in rural Alabama. The story is an autobiographical account of those years\, especially of his relationship with one of the elderly cousins\, Miss Sook Faulk.  \nThe greatest examples of Capote’s skillfulness as a writer are found among the stories inspired by his early childhood and the relationships he forged growing up in the rural South.  \nA Christmas Memory first appeared in Mademoiselle Magazine in the late 1950s\, when Capote was 27 years old\, and has since become one of his most beloved and bestselling works.  \nMr. Capote was a flamboyant figure in both literary and cultural circles. Controversial\, colorful and complex\, he was a writer of uncommon grace.  His best-known works include Breakfast at Tiffany’s\, In Cold Blood\, Other Voices Other Rooms\, and The Grass Harp.  Mr. Capote died in 1984 at the age of 59. \nEarle Ross (E.R.) Haire\, Jr. PhD is a native of North Carolina. His professional achievements combine acting and theology.  In Los Angeles\, he worked as an actor and at Paramount Studios. Theater credits in Los Angeles include The Foreigner\, You Can’t Take It With You\, Hamlet\, Henry V\, Richard III\, The Importance of Being Earnest\, The Caucasian Chalk Circle\, and the comedy spoof Riffs of Shakespeare. Dr. Haire is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild.  \nDr. Haire received a Master of Sacred Theology from Yale University\, studying at both the Yale Divinity School and the Yale School of Drama. He earned his PhD in Theology and Ethics with a concentration in religion\, media and culture at the University of Edinburgh in 2017. \nSt. John in the Wilderness is located in Flat Rock\, NC at 1895 Greenville Highway.

We begin to have and feel compassion for all of our different sides of ourselves. In moving the Shadow and Light\, we become aware of our humanness! Having authentic expression in our daily lives can be healing.

SUMMARY:PERSPECTIVES: David Silver on The Farm at BMC
DESCRIPTION:BMCM+AC will host David Silver\, co-curator of The Farm at Black Mountain College\, for a gallery walk-and-talk alongside a book launch / signing event. Join us for an in-depth look at the Farm story and a celebration of the exhibition. This event is free and open to all. \nBuilt on more than a decade’s worth of deep\, original archival research\, The Farm at Black Mountain College constitutes a comprehensive new history of Black Mountain College. By focusing on the farm\, the exhibition sidesteps the popular paradigm of approaching BMC through its famous faculty and students\, and instead offers a new cast of characters\, one that includes mostly students\, women\, and farmers. It spotlights the importance of collaboration\, both on campus among students\, faculty\, and faculty families\, and in the community with farmers and organizations in nearby cities and towns. Finally\, the exhibition shows what happens when communal living is no longer communal\, and offers the first ever detailed account of the fall of the college\, a dramatic and often dangerous story. \nPresented in BMCM+AC’s lower gallery\, the contemporary installation DEER FREAKS…and decoys explores the hyper-natural forces of attraction and repulsion informing our interactions with the landscapes we inhabit. From fence rows to scare-crows\, DEER FREAKS documents the creative ways people propagate\, shape\, lure\, and protect in their environments. This multi-media\, multi-layered project of Swannatopia responds to the themes of The Farm at Black Mountain College.

SUMMARY:Hand-Dipped Beeswax Candle Making
DESCRIPTION:Just in time for Winter Solstice\, shine brightly on the shortest day of the year by creating your own beautiful\, sustainable light! Dipping tapered beeswax candles is a craft as old as time\, and with recycled beeswax\, you can feel even better about utilizing this precious resource for your own cozy comfort.  \nSo\, come celebrate Solstice in style with a group of friends old and new. We will circle around the fire (well\, stovetop!) and dive into this soothing\, meditative activity. Workshop participants will walk away with two pairs of twinned dip candles (4 candles total) – as well as the know-how to make your own at home!   \nIn this class\, students will:  \n-Make two pairs of hand dipped candles (or more\, with cost adjusted accordingly!)\n-Learn about wick size & shape selection\n-Understand the process of recycling and reclaiming used beeswax\n-Become proficient in tapering (slowly growing) the candle shape\n-Acquire skill in trimming bottom drips for a candle that stands on its own\n-Master the cooling/heating control required for candle making
