Organizer Liz Cox calls Resonate: Asheville’s fusion of science, wellness and spirituality “an incredible experiment in consciousness and culture.” The weekend gathering, which culminates with a full day of programming at New Mountain, covers myriad topics like the collective consciousness, intentional toning, science of sound, ancient chants, architecture of the universe and more. During one session, art veteran Charles Gilchrist will introduce attendees to the sacred geometry used in his mandalas before leading an open-eyed mandala meditation. Other workshops, panels and talks can be as participatory as the individual desires. New Mountain hosts this meeting of minds Sunday, Oct. 4, from 11 a.m.-8 p.m. $20/$25. Pre-purchased tickets include admission to events at the Apeiron Center Friday and Saturday, Oct. 2 and 3, from 6-9 p.m. newmountainavl.com. Photo of Gilchrist courtesy of the artist
