CITY OF LIGHT
By Virato

[ excerpt ]

... New age musicians that have relocated to these mountains include Steven Halpern,  Richard Shulman, and cellist Ron Clearfield, Recently actress Andie MacDowell, and Academy Award recipient (Best Actor) Robin Williams have purchased property in Asheville . Actress Andie MacDowell can often be seen at Earth Fare and Asheville Pizza & Brewing Company.

At Laughing Seed Café on Wall St., you might meet them or maybe Robert Moog (inventor of the musical "Moog synthesizer"), or noted author Carolyn Ball. You might me also meet me, Virato, and my wife Dhiraja when we are not conducting Tantra events in such cool places as Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia, the Nepal Institute…or doing stuff here on the net. . .

. . .There are several food cooperatives in the greater Asheville area, the two in Asheville are French Broad Food Cooperative downtown, and Haywood Road Market in West Asheville. West Asheville has become the de facto new age section of the city. One favorite place is the West End Bakery on Haywood Rd.  When owners, Cathy and Krista hatched the idea for their business back in 1999, they were inspired by the growing vibrant neighborhoods of West Asheville and the need for community-oriented walkable businesses.  They both share a passion for healthy eating and a commitment to providing a welcoming atmosphere where families and neighbors can relax.

Another unique spot in West Asheville is A Cup of Tea which is not a cafe, but rather a "new age learning salon." You can see their listing in Mountain Xpress each week under Cosmic Buffet...
