Meditation for Moms and Dads (kids welcome!)

A family friendly event to celebrate the release of Shana Smith’s new book, “Meditation for Moms and Dads”! Join the author for banana yoga (musical yoga for kids), a GEM circle (Good Energy Magical Mantra Music for kids and families), family meditation, followed by snacks and a supervised craft for kids while parents join in on the book reading, discussion, and signing.

This event is made possible with the support of our neighbors, West Asheville Yoga Studio. Check them out!

Shana Smith is a mom, musician, meditator, marine biologist, teacher, and writer. She is an avid and longtime student of Zen and Buddhism, a decades-long yogi, and a much sought-after kirtaniya, or devotional chanting leader. Known across the state of Florida and the U.S. for the past 20 years as her children’s entertainment persona “Shana Banana,” Shana and her family (husband Dan, daughter Grace Ohana, and son Benny Albert) have settled down in Gainesville, Florida to run their meditation- and yoga-based Gainesville Retreat Center, which attracts many renowned teachers and practitioners.

Wintergreen Falls Hike @ DuPont State Forest

 

This 3 mile hike is an easily accessible, lesser known, and quieter DuPont Forest Trail. After hiking in 1.5 miles we will stop to enjoy the views at the waterfall, maybe splash our feet in the water, and enjoy a snack/lunch before returning on the same trail.

The trail has a gradual incline on the return trip, and due to the distance, please bring a back up carrier for little walkers under 3 years old.

47th Annual Beech Mountain Pig Roast & Fireworks

The summer party has always been known as the 47th Annual Roasting of the Hog, even back when it consisted of 100 potluckers and one pig at Wade’s house. The following year, Wade relocated the roast to a friend’s hotel, but kept the “47th Annual” name. When the fire department in 1974 took over the event, it followed suit.

“The tradition carries on, but now it’s 2000-plus people,” says Wade. “They have bands and clogging and all that kind of stuff.”

Featuring fireworks, games for kids, raffle, face painting, concessions, music, dancing, Beech Mtn Resort shuttle rides to ‘5506 ($1 round trip 10am-6pm
