Don’t miss this upcoming Local Event in Hendersonville, NC. Happening on Saturday, December 21, 2024 at 471 Kanuga Chapel Dr. Doors open at 4:00 PM.

Welcome this season with music by Chris Rosser and Adam Maalouf, readings, an artisans market, buffet supper, and guided labyrinth walk.

On this, the shortest day and longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, gather at Kanuga as music and word create warmth in this seasonal time of fallow and reflection. Through contemplative readings and the music of Chris Rosser and Adam Maalouf, sacred space is created for healing to begin as we prepare for a restorative new year. The concert will be held in Kanuga’s chapel, built in 1930 using downed pines from a storm. The acoustics are outstanding in this unique and holy listening space.

Also offered is a holiday artisans market featuring regional artists. A buffet supper will be served in the Dining Hall.

Tickets for the performance are $10 each. Tickets for the performance and supper are $30 each.
