Special guest,  Truth-I Manifest, who has contributed a lot to  our sweet mountain community of Western North Carolina with his heart opening cacao ceremonies, the Qigong classes he teaches and the uplifting music that he shares.

Recently, we all went through a never-seen-before natural disaster called Hurricane Helene and we explore our various perspectives on this life-changing event and its implications for our community.
