"I ask of film what most North Americans ask of psychedelic drugs. The difference being that when one creates a psychedelic film, he need not create a film that shows the visions of a person who has taken a pill; rather, he needs to manufacture the pill." – Alejando Jodorowsky

Surrealist. Provocateur. Heretic. These are but a few of the many superlatives utilized to describe Chilean filmmaker and maestro of the bizarre Alejando Jodorowsky. Director of such cult classics as EL TOPO, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, and an unrealized adaptation of DUNE that would’ve been the most audacious and expensive film in the history of movies, Jordorowsky, who began his career as a mime and the co-founder of the performance art collective The Panic Movement, bravely follows in the footsteps of such surrealist masters as Luis Bunuel, Fernando Arrabal, and Man Ray. On July 17th at 7:30 pm, THE WELL and Michael Wheeler, local film programmer and host of the Fine Arts Theatre’s Wheeler Wednesday series, will proudly present his 1989 magnum opus SANTA SANGRE in a one-time-only limited capacity screening.

SANTA SANGRE, a psychedelic slasher film co-written by Claudio Argento (Dario Argento’s younger brother), is a madcap co-production between Mexico and Italy and thematically takes on oppression, religion, the circus, and mental illness in a florid and lavish way unseen previously by denizens of any genre. Violent, transgressive, and downright funny, Jordorowsky’s masterpiece is a one of a kind overwhelming experience that leaves viewers - first-timers and repeat offenders alike - in a paralytic haze and fugue state of uneasiness. Roger Ebert, legendary critic of The Chicago Sun-Times, defined it as "a horror film, one of the greatest, and after waiting patiently through countless Dead Teenager Movies, I am reminded by Alejandro Jodorowsky that true psychic horror is possible on the screen – horror, poetry, surrealism, psychological pain, and wicked humor, all at once."

Come see for yourself if the hyperbole holds it own (it does) when Michael presents this incredible and idiosyncratic movie on 7/17/26 at 7:30 pm. Similar to his Wheeler Wednesday screenings, there will be both an introduction before the film and a discussion after as he details Jodorowsky’s career, his legendary stories involving the Panic Movement, the influence of the Beatles on AJ’s career, and other topical and insightful diatribes. Tickets are $10 (if a lack of funds is an issue, we will not be turning anyone away regardless) and available online or at THE WELL proper. Remember that this is a one-time-only event and that there are LIMITED seating options. We’re excited to kick off this series of monthly screenings with something truly unique!

A Community Gathering*

*For people that identify as ENM.

(Ethically Non-Monogamous).

This gathering is for building community, getting relationship support, and learning more about ENM, Polyamory, and Relationship Anarchy.

WNC Polyamorous and ENM is an Asheville based community dedicated to normalizing Ethical Non-Monogamy by creating a strong community, supporting each other’s personal growth, and sharing knowledge and experiences with each other.

This event is open to the public, but we request that anyone in attendance be ENM, considering ENM, or in a relationship with someone that is ENM. *Bringing a friend or family member with you (who is not ENM) with the intention of normalizing it, is allowed.

This group does our best to offer non- judgmental support and advice for those navigating this journey. There are no experts here with the “right” answer. What we offer is simply the benefit of our personal experiences and combined knowledge.

We facilitate a variety of events through out the year to help build connections and friendships.

*Please note that this environment is meant to be a safe space to learn about ENM and to build community, not a dating event. That being said, we do encourage organically formed relationships of all kinds, with enthusiastic consent of course.

With Kindness,

An immersive experience of Astrology & Sound Alchemy

Step into an evening where cosmic intelligence meets vibrational healing.

We begin with a grounded yet intuitive transmission of the current astrological landscape—translating what’s happening in the sky into real guidance for navigating your life right now.

From there, you’ll be guided into a deep, multidimensional sound journey.

Surrounded by the resonance of multiple gongs, crystal and Tibetan bowls, handpan, and other harmonic instruments, your body becomes the receiver… and the field begins to shift.

This is not just something you hear—

it’s something you feel, something you enter.

🔊 The Experience

As the gong waves move through you:

• The nervous system begins to downshift and unwind

• The mind softens, releasing control

• The body opens into deep cellular resonance

• Stagnant energy begins to move, release, and reorganize

Many describe the experience as entering a dreamlike, timeless state—

 where insight, emotion, and clarity arise naturally from within.

The sound doesn’t guide you somewhere else…

it brings you deeper into yourself.

🌌 Why This Now

2026 is not a passive year—it’s a threshold.

We are being asked to trust ourselves at a deeper level, to move without certainty, and to listen inward more than ever before.

Sound—especially the gong—has a unique ability to bypass the thinking mind and reconnect you with your own internal guidance system.

This journey is an opportunity to:

• Reset your energetic field

• Reconnect with your intuition

• Realign with your inner rhythm

🌀 What is Sound Healing?

Sound healing works through vibrational resonance.

The rich, non-linear overtones of instruments like the gong interact directly with the body’s energetic and physical systems—supporting:

• Relaxation and nervous system regulation

• Emotional release

• Energetic clearing and activation

• Expanded states of awareness

You don’t need to “do” anything—

 simply lie down, receive, and allow.

Price is by Donation starting at $22. Please give what you can.

You can Donate w credit card here or at Vemno @Starsounds

Cash/card is okay at the door, please let us know you are coming...email David@starsounds.love

🧘 What to Bring

Yoga mat • Blanket • Pillow • Water • Anything for comfort

See You There

SANCTUARY–The Vibration of Autumn–Sacred Sound Journey with Mark Biehl
Mark Biehl presents a unique sound blessing ceremony to welcome the season of Fall, and inspire us to gracefully move through our own seasonal process by letting go of what no longer serves us and embracing change. Allow the deep vibrational energies of over twenty beautifully tuned Himalayan singing bowls, indigenous flutes, medicine drumming, rattles and shakers, gongs, chimes and vocal mantra to guide us through clearing and release, as we plant seeds to begin a new path of personal growth and transformation.

Autumn begins the onset of shorter days, the harvesting of crops, and a time to prepare for the winter ahead. The element of metal that represents autumn, is found abundantly in singing bowls from the Himalayas, and is a symbol of refinement and inner strength. The season of Fall encourages us to make use of everything that is necessary and pure, and to eliminate those things or qualities that are wasteful and no longer necessary.

"Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go."

Please bring a yoga mat, blanket, pillow, and eye covering (optional). Dress comfortably and bring some water to drink. It's preferable not to eat for an hour prior.

**Space is limited–Register early to secure your spot!

Mark believes in the idea that sound creates a gateway into deeper levels of consciousness, the heart, and soul. As a result, he utilizes various sound tools and the voice in conjunction with his spiritual health coaching skills and positive intention to gently support beneficial shifts in our perspective on life.

Mark's Sanctuary Sound Journey program is a deeply relaxing and mentally uplifting experience featuring the sounds and vibrations of over twenty Tibetan singing bowls, gongs, chimes, indigenous flutes, drumming and the voice. His program also includes various breathing techniques designed to bring participants into a more focused and balanced state, and guided readings featuring topics that encourage mindfulness and provide inspiration. Sanctuary is intended to take participants deep into stillness of mind, body and spirit. The breathwork and guided meditation work as a kind of staircase leading everyone into a progressively more relaxed state, culminating in a lengthy sound immersion with Tibetan singing bowls, melodic and percussive instruments, mantra chant and ambient atmospheres.
