Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath with Vivek Chugh
Come join us on a journey of somatic bliss with our Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath with Vivek Chugh, an immersive experience designed to transport you to a realm of deep relaxation and rejuvenation.

Whether you're a seasoned mindfulness enthusiast or someone seeking a novel path to relaxation or seeking stress relief, our Tibetan Singing Bowl Sound Bath is a therapeutic journey where ancient wisdom meets modern well-being.
The energy exchange options for this event are $20-40. Energy exchange can be made at the event via cash, Gpay, or Venmo or ahead of time here: https://somaticsounds.net/energy/
Please bring any comfort items you may desire: blankets, pillows, bolsters, eye mask, etc. We do not yet have enough community items for everyone.

✨ What to Expect:
🔹 A welcoming space to explore and experiment with sound

Sonic Immersion with Wolfgang Ettenreich
Sonic Immersion
This Sonic Immersion is an invitation to simply be with what is in the moment, the impermanence of our experience as sounds emerge and subside. And being ok with whatever arises, just as Rumi says: “… Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! …”
Together we will traverse soundscapes created by the ancient didgeridoo, crystal & metal singing bowls, drums, Light Language vocals, and several other instruments. If you want more intense, activating vibrations, they will be played close to your body.
This journey will assist you in finding your own inner clarity, inspiration and wisdom for these times.
Bring whatever makes you comfortable to lay down (or sit) for an extended period of time and allowing you to fully enjoy this journey: a mat, blanket, pillow, eye cover to name a few things.
When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery
you return to rhythm with yourself

Evolutionary Astrology Readings with David Heiss
Evolutionary Astrology readings focus on your souls purpose helping you align with yourself. You will feel the accuracy of the reading when you feel the messages resonate with your body and mind as you feel the alignment.
You can book a private reading with me before if you don't feel like waiting at my website Star Sounds and can meet on zoom. I can also be reached at david@starsounds.love
The readings I offer are authentic and palpable. They make sense to you and effective or you don't pay me
I can also be found at https://www.starsounds.love/
Evolutionary astrology is a unique and insightful approach with a focus on personal growth and spiritual evolution of your soul. Dive deep beneath the surface uncovering the deeper meaning of your life events and challenges, a framework for understanding your purpose in this life including past incarnations. Through this lens, you’ll discover your higher purpose, where you are coming from and where you are headed. You will discover what drives you, what hangs you up. You will know more about who you are.
I had an astrological reading with David! It was very interesting and detailed. It confirmed many things for me, but it also opened my eyes to things I had not thought about. I’ve listened to the recording a couple of times and hear more information each time I revisit it. David was very knowledgeable and did a great job further explaining areas that are confusing to those of us who don’t know much about these sorts of things. I really appreciated the time and it provided forward momentum in my life.
—Trinity
"I’ve had a number of astrology readings over the years, and have some familiarity with my chart. David brought things to life in my Evolutionary Astrology reading. His focus on my growth points brought about tangible and useful insights. What he shared about my Occupation and Vocation were especially helpful affirmations for energies I’d been feeling yet a little timid to fully own. I’ll revisit the info in this reading multiple times to really absorb the wisdom so it can permeate my life. David is funny, intuitive and his relaxed and open nature feels like I’ve known him for years. You’ll receive a true gift in his presence, not just another astrology reading. Oh, and the grounds at Inner Wolf retreat space are impeccable. Just go!" 'Cindy
15-minute reading $30
30-minute reading $60
60-minute reading $120
Readings are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Join us at our Spiritual Open House to meet David:

Celestial Sound Bath with Levi Reynolds
Levi Reynolds has recently upgraded many new instruments specifically with high-vibration celestial energies, including very rare pieces of Mercury, Mars, the moon, and asteroid Vesta (aka Tatahouine).
This sound bath will be a powerful experience where you will feel the synergy of the sound vibrations mixed with the energies of these celestial minerals.
You are invited! Please join us for this unique gong and sound bowl experience in Asheville!
Please bring any comfort items you may desire: blankets, pillows, bolsters, eye mask, etc. We also have some community items available for use.
Why a Gong bath with crystals?
Gongs are incredible instruments for moving energy! Our gongs and sound bowls are very unique and have been "upgraded" with high-vibration crystal energy. By combining the energy of sound healing + crystal energy, we add a new dimension to an already immersive experience. Meditate, journey, and amplify your intentions with a greater purpose as you enjoy an experience you will not forget.
This experience is $33 per person. Please purchase a ticket for this event when you arrive.
This event is hosted at Moldavite Life crystal shop (entrance is at the center of the shopping center in Woodfin, upstairs)

Meditation Concert with Kennedy OneSelf
A journey into stillness through sound.
Immerse yourself in a sonic sanctuary where sound becomes a gateway to deep stillness. This meditation concert and sound healing experience with Kennedy OneSelf is a profoundly potent orchestration of acoustic vibration—an invitation to rest, receive, and reconnect with the peace that already resides within you.
Simply lay down and listen as waves of harmonic resonance wash over you, guiding you into a deep state of relaxation and inner awareness. Kennedy weaves together the ethereal sounds of didgeridoos, RAV handpan, Guzheng (Asian harp), crystal and metal singing bowls, gongs, flutes, Shruti box, monochord, and more—creating a symphony so fluid it feels as though it’s played by many hands.
This is sound healing like no other—a vibrational experience that lingers long after the last note fades.
About Kennedy OneSelf:
Kennedy is a meditation enthusiast, instrument maker, and sound artist who has devoted his life to cultivating soundscapes that lessen suffering and awaken serenity. He believes that a single moment of peace speaks more than words ever could. Through intentional resonance, he crafts sound journeys that remind us of our divinity and help us align with the stillness within.

Intentional Clothing Exchange for Men & Women with Betsy Finkelhoo
You’re Invited to an Intentional Clothing Exchange!
Come share your energy, your stories, and your carefully curated items in a space designed for mindful exchange and renewal.
Join us on April 7th at Energetic Experiences for a transformative in-person gathering that celebrates connection, community, and conscious sharing.
This event is expertly facilitated by seasoned facilitator Betsy Finkelhoo, who is renowned for curating transformative community experiences that honor individual expression and collective intention, especially with her specific formula for making clothing exchanges organized and intentional.
Unlike traditional swaps that can feel a bit chaotic and like a race to claim the "best" items, this style of intentional exchange is rooted in mindfulness and mutual respect. We encourage a spirit of looking out for one another; its not about grabbing; it’s about giving and receiving in balance, while reinventing ourselves with powerful intent.
Before the swapping begins, we gather in circle—a sacred pause where we set intentions, share stories, and support one another.
This isn’t just about clothes; it’s about acknowledging the energetic layers they carry and giving ourselves permission to evolve.
During our opening circle, you’ll have the option to choose one special item to talk about, sharing its story and the energy it holds and be seen as you release it.
This event is curated for all bodies, with separate rooms for female bodies and male bodies during the swap portion. We’ll come together in a co-ed shared circle and then split for the clothes-changing portion, so everyone can enjoy a comfortable and supportive experience.
Shoes, jewelry, accessories are welcome along with clothing.
In addition, sacred items, blankets, a few books, decorative items, and are welcome too—with the understanding that if you bring bulky items and they aren’t taken home, you’ll bring them back with you to reduce the heavy lifting on hosts. Thank you.
Remember this is not a place to dump your junk.
ONLY NICE ITEMS THAT OTHERS WILL WANT.
What to Bring:
• A minimum of at least 5-10 pieces of clothing and/or accessories
• A maximum of 2 bins or bags of items (3 is okay if it’s really special stuff that you know people will love). This helps minimize heavy lifting at the end and keeps our swap organized.
• An extra bag or box to help with donation clean-up.
• A smile and good attitude!
What NOT to Bring:
• Only bring clothes that are wearable—no holes, stains, stretched-out elastic, or broken zippers. Remember, these clothes are going to the people in our community.
• Worn underwear, one sock, unwashed or smelly clothes.
• Please minimize wearing strong perfume or scents the day of to honor sensitivity of others.
•Please do not bring anything with pet dander or has been smoke infused to honor allergy sensitivity.
A Few Important Notes:
• Arrive on Time in the first 30 minutes: Punctuality is key to ensure everyone can participate fully in the circle and the organized swapping process.
• RSVP & Secure Your Spot: This event has limited capacity and will fill up, so please secure your spot by sending your RSVP and donation of your choice of $10-$40 via Venmo to @Betsy-Finkelhoo
A fun swap trick is to wear your favorite undies and come dressed in something you’ll be offering to the pile, so you can leave in something new and exciting!
As you clean out your closet, consider these principles of letting go
GET RID OF IT IF:
If you haven’t worn it in over a year+
If it reminds you an old identity or part of you that has evolved
If you wished it would fit better, but doesn’t and likely won’t ever
If it doesn’t bring you joy
Let’s come together, RELEASE, RENEW, share our treasures, and create something beautiful!
Feel free to reply if you have any questions or need additional details. We can’t wait to see you there!

Join us for a relaxing sound bath meditation led by David Heiss, Master gong player and sound healing musician. David has been playing gongs and facilitating sound healing journeys since 2012. You can learn more about his work at https://starsounds.love
Leave the week's stress behind as you relax and reset your nervous system with this special clearing crystal gong bath.
We will begin with a brief overview of the current astrology aspects in our sky. Then enjoy a powerful yet relaxing 45 min. gong meditation followed by an integration.
When the gong sings, you listen. You listen listens with every cell of your body. You hear it and feel it. You begin to sense more. The obscure sounds leave your brain guessing and eventually surrenders to the soundwave as you begin to relax, feel and heal. The vibrational frequencies can awaken stagnant energy.

What to Bring: Your open minded self dressed for some possible movement. If you need your coffee, ok, that too.

Embodying Consciousness Playshop with Wolfgang Ettenreich
Step into an exciting transformative practice!
We all have the ability to recognize and share the feelings of another person, commonly referred to as empathy. In this playshop we will be utilizing a method called ‘Walking In Your Shoes®’ (WIYS), which will take us beyond our experience of empathy in daily life. What is it like putting yourself into someone else’s shoes? See how it feels when you embody another consciousness or are in resonance with another being.
Together we create a safe container where we can be each other: be seen, be vulnerable - without judgments or interpretations. We then ‘work’ (or play) with what’s arising in the very moment.
Join us to explore and cultivate empathy, to connect more authentically with others, and to experience a different kind of knowing. This is an opportunity for diving deeply into the vastness of human experience.
If you could walk in my shoes,
You would see, I paid my dues,
I worked hard my whole life through,
Even though, I no longer do.
You would see how hard I tried.
You would see how hard I cried.
Can’t you see my condition is real,
Even though you can’t see what I feel.
Manuela McPhee (5/23/2009, excerpt)
What To Expect:
Intro: Short introduction to WIYS and levels of empathy (as needed).
Breathwork & Meditation: a simple breathing exercise, sensing of the body and/or a short guided meditation.
The ‘Walk’ - An Exercise In Empathy: The main part of the playshop. We will take turns to embody the consciousness of another person, elements of nature or what you would like to explore.
Time For Sharing/Questions: Ask any questions which came up during the playshop. Share your experience with the group.
Closure: A brief singing bowl meditation and some closing words.
Details:
Location: Energetic Experiences, 81 Weaverville Rd, Suite 2, Asheville, NC 28804 (next to Moldavite Life)

Energy Medicine & Healing with Archangel Raphael with Lisa Gontarski
Archangel Raphael, the healing Angel, would like to work with us on issues big and small. Even those issues we think of as too mundane for healing are still based in spirit! Raphael can be in many places at once, and can work with each of us one-on-one, even as we sit in a workshop together. He supports each of us to land fully in our bodies, in the moment, and to be present with our inner selves. He supports our bodies, emotions, and spirit as we move through our daily lives. He loves working with us humans and is very gentle in his work.
During this session you’ll learn how to connect with Raphael on your own, after the class. We’ll run through the process that I’ve used for many years to communicate and work with him.
ANGEL ESSENCE ENERGY HEALING - Lisa has been a practitioner of Angel Essence Energy healing for almost two decades. This gentle and supportive healing modality assists with practical issues, deeper transitions, and everything in between. Lisa has worked with individuals, couples, groups, animals, and with nature directly.

Astrology Workshop with David Heiss
David has a unique approach to transmitting messages from the stars as he translates the meanings into practical application that is learnable and understandable at a working level. Come see for yourself how this astrology workshop can stoke your soul's evolution.
Why Astrology...
Inner Self-Discovery: I received my first astrology reading in 2012 at 41. I was blown away as the reading explained in 30 minutes what counselors, therapists, parents, and friends didn't understand. It was a relief to realize I was wired in a specific way, and I no longer needed to fight it. I just needed to accept and integrate the parts of me that everyone else tried to fix. Since 2012 I have been studying and integrating the stars and planets within myself and others. I'm convinced that the stars and planets are energies inside of us, we can see the planets and stars, we also feel them as they are a part of us we are connected to the entire universe.
What is Evolutionary Astrology...
Evolutionary astrology is a transformative approach that goes beyond traditional astrological readings. Rooted in the belief that our soul evolves over lifetimes, it explores the karmic lessons and evolutionary journey encoded in an individual's birth chart. This branch of astrology focuses on personal growth, self-discovery, and the development of consciousness, offering insights into the soul's purpose and the evolutionary path ahead. It views challenges as opportunities for spiritual development, guiding individuals toward a deeper understanding of their life's purpose and the continuous evolution of their soul.
My Astrology readings intentionally speak to your soul, penetrate beyond the mind, you begin to see how you are divinely wired. I have heard the readings many times and are unique and like none other. Astrology stokes the intellect first, you can make sense of it, but it doesn't stop there, it stokes the subconscious, it stirs your Soul, waking up dormant energies, you become more of who you truly are.
"I’ve had a number of astrology readings over the years, and have some familiarity with my chart. David brought things to life in my Evolutionary Astrology reading. His focus on my growth points brought about tangible and useful insights. What he shared about my Occupation and Vocation were especially helpful affirmations for energies I’d been feeling yet a little timid to fully own. I’ll revisit the info in this reading multiple times to really absorb the wisdom so it can permeate my life. David is funny, intuitive and his relaxed and open nature feels like I’ve known him for years. You’ll receive a true gift in his presence, not just another astrology reading."

Sonic Immersion with Wolfgang Ettenreich
This Sonic Immersion is an invitation to simply be with what is in the moment, the impermanence of our experience as sounds emerge and subside. And being ok with whatever arises, just as Rumi says: “… Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! …”
Together we will traverse soundscapes created by the ancient didgeridoo, crystal & metal singing bowls, drums, Light Language vocals, and several other instruments. If you want more intense, activating vibrations, they will be played close to your body.
This journey will assist you in finding your own inner clarity, inspiration and wisdom for these times.
Bring whatever makes you comfortable to lay down (or sit) for an extended period of time and allowing you to fully enjoy this journey: a mat, blanket, pillow, eye cover to name a few things.
When you regain a sense of your life as a journey of discovery
you return to rhythm with yourself

Embodying Consciousness Playshop with Wolfgang Ettenreich
Step into an exciting transformative practice!
We all have the ability to recognize and share the feelings of another person, commonly referred to as empathy. In this playshop we will be utilizing a method called ‘Walking In Your Shoes®’ (WIYS), which will take us beyond our experience of empathy in daily life. What is it like putting yourself into someone else’s shoes? See how it feels when you embody another consciousness or are in resonance with another being.
Together we create a safe container where we can be each other: be seen, be vulnerable - without judgments or interpretations. We then ‘work’ (or play) with what’s arising in the very moment.
Join us to explore and cultivate empathy, to connect more authentically with others, and to experience a different kind of knowing. This is an opportunity for diving deeply into the vastness of human experience.
If you could walk in my shoes,
You would see, I paid my dues,
I worked hard my whole life through,
Even though, I no longer do.
You would see how hard I tried.
You would see how hard I cried.
Can’t you see my condition is real,
Even though you can’t see what I feel.
Manuela McPhee (5/23/2009, excerpt)
What To Expect:
Intro: Short introduction to WIYS and levels of empathy (as needed).
Breathwork & Meditation: a simple breathing exercise, sensing of the body and/or a short guided meditation.
The ‘Walk’ - An Exercise In Empathy: The main part of the playshop. We will take turns to embody the consciousness of another person, elements of nature or what you would like to explore.
Time For Sharing/Questions: Ask any questions which came up during the playshop. Share your experience with the group.
Closure: A brief singing bowl meditation and some closing words.

Sound Bath Gong Meditation with David Heiss
Join us for a relaxing sound bath meditation led by David Heiss, Master gong player and sound healing musician. David has been playing gongs and facilitating sound healing journeys since 2012. You can learn more about his work at https://starsounds.love
Leave the week's stress behind as you relax and reset your nervous system with this special clearing crystal gong bath.
We will begin with a brief overview of the current astrology aspects in our sky. Then enjoy a powerful yet relaxing 45 min. gong meditation followed by an integration.
When the gong sings, you listen. You listen listens with every cell of your body. You hear it and feel it. You begin to sense more. The obscure sounds leave your brain guessing and eventually surrenders to the soundwave as you begin to relax, feel and heal. The vibrational frequencies can awaken stagnant energy. The experience is like a personal dream. There are moments during a gong meditation where the subconscious can become more conscious, where illumination and insight follows.

Activate the Light Within with Lauren Rosenzweig
Activate the Light Within is about holding space for you to rest your body and cultivate a deep sense of ease allowing your innate healing to take place.
Lauren will give the group reiki and combine sound with crystal singing bowls, koshi chimes and drum. Light language will also be incorporated throughout the journey.
These three healing modalities weave beautifully together creating a powerful activation within the body, mind and soul.
Description of light language: Channeled language that is understood on a soul level and bypasses the mind. It adjusts to the resonance of each person's vibrational needs in the moment, initiating, clearing, balancing, activating and aligning with a new vibration of wellbeing.
Description of energy healing: Healing techniques that gently clear stored traumas, stagnation, emotional blocks within the body and tissues. Energy healing restores the body, mind, and spirit back to natural balance and overall wellbeing.
Description of sound healing: The vibration of the bowls takes you into a meditative state. The sound healing waves penetrate on a cellular level resetting cellular patterns and bring harmony and balance to your body and soul.
When: Friday, March 14th
Time: 6pm-7:30pm

Embodying Consciousness Playshop with Wolfgang Ettenreich
Step into an exciting transformative practice!
We all have the ability to recognize and share the feelings of another person, commonly referred to as empathy. In this playshop we will be utilizing a method called ‘Walking In Your Shoes®’ (WIYS), which will take us beyond our experience of empathy in daily life. What is it like putting yourself into someone else’s shoes? See how it feels when you embody another consciousness or are in resonance with another being.
Together we create a safe container where we can be each other: be seen, be vulnerable - without judgments or interpretations. We then ‘work’ (or play) with what’s arising in the very moment.
Join us to explore and cultivate empathy, to connect more authentically with others, and to experience a different kind of knowing. This is an opportunity for diving deeply into the vastness of human experience.
If you could walk in my shoes,
You would see, I paid my dues,
I worked hard my whole life through,
Even though, I no longer do.
You would see how hard I tried.
You would see how hard I cried.
Can’t you see my condition is real,
Even though you can’t see what I feel.
Manuela McPhee (5/23/2009, excerpt)
What To Expect:
Intro: Short introduction to WIYS and levels of empathy (as needed).
Breathwork & Meditation: a simple breathing exercise, sensing of the body and/or a short guided meditation.
The ‘Walk’ - An Exercise In Empathy: The main part of the playshop. We will take turns to embody the consciousness of another person, elements of nature or what you would like to explore.
Time For Sharing/Questions: Ask any questions which came up during the playshop. Share your experience with the group.
Closure: A brief singing bowl meditation and some closing words.

Date/Time: Every Thursday from 6:30 - 8 p.m.

Full Moon Lunar Eclipse Astrology Workshop with David Heiss
Join us for a transformative evening of astrology and healing at this special full moon workshop. The full moon offers a potent opportunity for self-reflection, release, and realignment. During this session, we’ll explore the powerful influence of the full moon in astrology, how it affects our personal and collective lives, and how to harness its energy for spiritual growth and healing.
The spiritual effects of the eclipse on March 13-14, 2025, may bring a period of deep transformation, heightened intuition, and emotional release. Eclipses are often seen as cosmic resets, and this one—occurring in Pisces (a highly spiritual and intuitive sign)—could amplify dreams, subconscious healing, and inner revelations.
You may feel a strong pull toward reflection, letting go of past emotional baggage, or experiencing sudden insights. This time could also bring spiritual awakenings, synchronicities, and a call to trust the unknown. It’s ideal for meditation, journaling, and setting intentions for renewal.
Would you like insights based on your personal sign?
In this workshop, you will:
Learn the astrological significance of the full moon and its impact on your life and emotions.
Discover practical ways to use the full moon’s energy to release what no longer serves you and set intentions for the next lunar cycle.
Understand how the full moon interacts with your personal birth chart and what it reveals about areas of growth, healing, and transformation.
The evening will feature a 30-minute gong sound bath, designed to deepen your connection with the full moon’s energy. Sound baths are a powerful way to clear blockages, relax the mind, and rejuvenate the body. Allow the deep, resonant tones of the gongs to wash over you, creating space for emotional release and spiritual alignment.
David Heiss, an experienced evolutionary astrologer, will guide the group through the astrological teachings, providing insights into how these celestial events can serve as milestones on your soul’s journey.
Who This Workshop Is For:
Those who want to deepen their understanding of astrology and the full moon’s influence on their lives.
Anyone looking to release old patterns and align with their highest potential.
Beginners and seasoned astrology enthusiasts alike.
What to Bring:
Your birth time and place if you’d like your chart to be used as an example during the session (optional).
A comfortable mat, blanket, or cushion for the sound bath portion of the event.
Space is limited, so be sure to reserve your spot in advance.
Why Attend:
This workshop is a unique blend of astrological insight and spiritual practice, offering you the opportunity to gain clarity, release, and reset under the powerful energy of the full moon. Whether you're new to astrology or have been practicing for years, David’s clear, down-to-earth teaching style will leave you feeling empowered and aligned with the cosmic energies that are always available for growth and transformation.
