Asheville, NC, March 24, 2008 (PR.com) After the doors closed at NC School of Natural Healing on Riverside Drive, herb students of the school (Mountain Spirit School of Herbalism) were 1/3 of the way finished with their 1 ½ year program when their herbalism instructors promised to honor their educational contracts with limited funding. Students are grateful that their displaced community has found new vision and a new location in west Asheville at 2 Sulphur Springs as One World Healing Arts Institute (OWHAI). The students of OWHAI have organized a benefit concert made possible by Asheville’s supportive community of independent businesses and musicians on March 30th at the Garage at Biltmore. Featured performers include Laura Reed & Deep Pocket, Woody Wood & Hollywood Red, Snake Oil Medicine Show, the Archrivals, Robert Greer from Town Mountain with Friends and Cactus, a kid favorite. The benefit concert is an all-ages show, doors open at 5pm and tickets are $15 adults, $5 kids. Catering by Ophelia’s and French Broad Brewery beers will be available for purchase. Raffles from local sponsors and herbal products will be for sale. All proceeds will benefit One World Healing Arts Institute.

The One World Healing Arts Institute offers alternative educational programs and a healing clinic unique to the Appalachian Mountains and Asheville.
