Amidst the challenges and uncertainties of our rapidly changing world, local communities are a necessary source of belonging and resilience. This year\u2019s InterBeing Festival \u2014 Community: Refuge in a Changing World<\/em> \u2014 will be held Saturday, October 5, at the 10-acre Samasati Sanctuary retreat center in Weaverville. Festival organizers invite individuals from all walks of life to gather, elevate the spirit, connect with others, and explore the power of community.<\/p>\n

“In the face of adversity, communities serve as a source of strength, support, and solace, offering refuge and renewal to all who seek it” says Vinit Allen, festival founder and organizer.<\/p>\n

Through an array of interactive workshops, engaging discussions, artistic performances and group ritual, participants will embark on a journey of discovery and connection. Whether singing in a song circle, sharing a cacao ceremony, creating art on the spot or dancing to the rhythm of world music, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

The festival will feature an inspiring lineup of speakers, activists and artists; performers include musical headliner Alexander Caruso, Adama Dembele, Billy Jonas, and One Heart Band.<\/p>\n

Community organizers will share their insights and experiences on building resilient communities, and finding solutions to some of the challenges that all communities face. Organizations represented include: LEAF Global, Mankind Project, Mountain True, Urban Dharma, Alas (Latinx). Intentional communities include Earthaven, Celo, Westwood Co-Housing, Hawk & Hawthorne, Sacred Mountain Waters and Mountain Hearth.<\/p>\n

The InterBeing Festival is more than just an event, it is a call to action to embrace the spirit of collaboration and the collective good, forging bonds that transcend borders and differences.<\/p>\n

The festival is a benefit for Beloved Asheville, a local nonprofit serving the community with programs including food sharing, housing for those experiencing homelessness, street medic training, racial healing, and Latinx community development.<\/p>\n

Advance tickets for the festival are $40 general admission and $55 including food. Day-of tickets are $55 general admission and $73 with food.<\/p>\n
