Doors 7:00 PM || Event 7:30 PM
Experimental Meditation Club with Kelly Kelbel and Tony Rolando
Tuesdays in September, we’ll convene as the Experimental Meditation Club.
We’ll provide partially guided meditations with sonic accompaniment. Think breaths to let go of tension, sonic ambiance, a bit of grief work, heavy drones, and psychedelic introspection (without any drugs).
The event begins at 7:30 sharp, so please be prompt to avoid disruption.
You are invited to all four sessions, but don’t have to come to all of them. The first one will provide some more context for meditation, but if you can’t make it, still come to what you can, and you’ll figure it out along the way. The best way to meditate is just to do it. That’s it!
While everyone is welcome, this will be tailored to people who:
*are new to meditation & may be skeptical or rekindling a practice
*like the company of sonic vibrations
*are open to trying this experiment & okay with it being messy
*want to test their own rigidity and capacity for expansion
*like the idea of democratizing meditation
Here’s a general idea of what will happen:
Each night will include some context, a guided meditation around the theme, a short conversation (no one is required to talk, so introverts don’t run away, please), and a longer meditation using only sound.
Kelly Kelbel
Kelly Kelbel meditates every morning in bed, mostly using the Happier App. She started meditating shortly after she started chemotherapy out of desperation to find relief from her fear. It worked! Chemo Sessions is a project she created to offer support to folks going through treatment through a letter, music, tips from pals, and guided meditations. She is also a writer and co-owns a synthesizer company, Make Noise, in West Asheville. Previously, she served as a legal advocate for survivors of sexual violence in Chicago and youth being tried as adults in New York City. She was a founding teacher of the School for Democracy and Leadership in Brooklyn, and directed the Rise Project at Warren Wilson College.
www.kellykelbel.com
Tony Rolando
Tony Rolando meditates irregularly, but notices a benefit every time he does a sit. He often uses the quiet. He is a self-taught electronic musical instrument designer who got started by obsessively reading Amateur Radio Relay League books at the public library, building electronics for artists, such as the light controlled remixer for Simon Lee’s “Bus Obscura” which debuted at the Whitney Biennial, working for Moog Music, and always playing music. Tony has recently released music with Important Records and the Asheville based Ceremony of Seasons. He is the founder, lead designer, and co-owner of Make Noise.

Stormy Daniels is one of the most talked about personalities in pop culture, and now you have the chance to see her live and unfiltered for a night of laughs, stories, and truth!
Whether you know her from television (SNL, VH-1 Surreal Life, Host of OutTV’s “For the Love of DILFS”) or from magazines (Vogue, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone) or from the Peacock Documentary “Stormy” or from movies (that can’t be mentioned here) or from headlines, Stormy Daniels is now taking her talents to the comedy stage. Her performances are getting high praise from both venues and the audiences.
Her set is filled with humorous tales from her time in adult entertainment and to stories about her personal life as a wife and mother…and of course, politics and scandal. Never one to shy away from the bold truth, Stormy ends each show with a live Q&A with the crowd. But Stormy is quick to add a word of caution “Just don’t ask a question if you aren’t prepared to hear the answer to it”

IMMERSIVE FLORAL INSTALLATION
– a contemplation on impermanence, grief, & flowers –
TRACKSIDE STUDIOS
4/10-4/16, 11am to 4pm
Designed to die, each day a new experience!
“How long will it last?” is a common question in a florist’s career and a mirror to our impermanence. Inspired by the reverence, companionship, and guidance of a death doula, we want to invite the public to hold hands with existence and mortality.
Fascinated by the ephemeral, the objective is to create an immersive portrayal of the transitions from life to death in a way that challenges our measure of worth by longevity and durability. Our installation will be composed of flowers and plant material and enhanced by play of light, reflection, height, and poignant ephemera to envelope participants in the spectrum of transience and grief.
The creative team is: Hanna Zahory @gulbaaz_, Grace Bates-Toulson @willowandwheel, Simon Bonneau @singeavl, Allison Omlor and Gabrielle Thompson
