A beautiful Lebanese farm to table meal is being prepared by ...

Habibi Village

Experience an authentic taste of Lebanon. At Habibi Village, we unite the vibrant flavors and Mediterranean spices of Lebanese street food, with organic ingredients and local artisanal toppings. We make our signature gluten-free dough daily, using our all-organic blend of buckwheat, chia and cassava flour. Our Lebanese flatbreads, known as manouche or saj, are a cultural delicacy and a daily staple in villages across Lebanon. Crafted with care, each flatbread is a testament to our commitment to quality and tradition. Enjoy the perfect balance of taste and texture, made fresh with Appalachian spring water.

Workshop Description:

Join Poranguí as we create a circle of rhythm, sound, and movement! Rediscover the first and most complex instrument known to humankind: yourself.

Together we will explore where voice and Spirit meet in improvisational dance. By embracing our unique voice and cultivating expression in a safe & celebratory container, we sing our souls and braid our voice together to amplify healing and beauty. No experience necessary, this is for all!

Poranguí, through his masterful improvisations and ancestral songs, creates a journey that transcends mere performance. His music, a rich tapestry of global rhythms, moves both body and spirit, serving as a portal to communal awakening. Decades of devoted study and a deep connection to his Brazilian, Mexican, and North American roots have imbued his live loops and ancestral melodies with the pulse of the Earth herself. Each note and rhythm resonates, connecting us across continents and cultures, inviting us into a diverse and healing musical heritage.

== About Hawk & Hawthorne ==

We are bridging commerce & community to nurture and enrich an emergent regenerative culture.

The Hawk & Hawthorne is a practicing permaculture community & regenerative event venue nestled just north of Asheville, NC. Check out the short video below for a glimpse into the magick.

Set in a retrofitted heritage tobacco barn amidst an expansive valley full of fruit trees, gardens, spring fed ponds & majestic views, The Hawk has been an organic gathering point for the Asheville & Barnardsville community for over 30 years, hosting hundreds of weddings, workshops & intimate live performances.

--> We are a non-alcoholic venue. Homemade elixirs & healthyish snacks will be available at the bar. (Cash preferred; venmo/cards OK.)

--> Children

Generally speaking, the event is kid-friendly! It’s an alcohol-free gathering, but the programming is primarily geared toward adults, and we’re not planning any specific activities or childcare for children. That said, little ones are welcome as long as they are supervised at all times. Kids 12 & under fly in free -- especially if they bring their broomsticks. 🧹✨
