== SLIDING SCALE TICKETS ==

We know money has different value to people depending on their circumstances -- we are experimenting with a new sliding scale ticket model called "Proud to Pay."

For this show, tickets are priced at $33, $40 or $50.

If we sold out this show at $33 tickets, the venue barely breaks even. The true cost of this show is at least $40 / person, but we also value accessibility and community vibes.

Tickets at the lower price points are limited, so please only choose that option if you really need it.
If you're in abundance, consider the higher option or even making an additional donation to help cover the cost of discounted tickets.

If you are still unable to attend due to lack of funds, please email us at the address above.

== ABOUT HAWK & HAWTHORNE ==

The Hawk & Hawthorne is a practicing permaculture community & venue nestled just north of Asheville, NC.

Set in a freshly renovated heritage tobacco barn amidst an expansive valley full of fruit trees, homestead gardens, spring fed ponds & majestic views. The Hawk has been an organic gathering point for the Asheville & Barnardsville community for over 30 years, hosting hundreds of weddings, workshops & intimate live performances.

The community here is emerging in response to the challenges of our times -- drawing strength from folk traditions and each other to create containers for the emergent human renaissance to celebrate & grow. Through cooperation, music, crafting & regenerative agriculture practices, we are rediscovering our sense of belonging; to the land & each other.

--> We are a non-alcoholic venue. Buchi Kombucha, Kefir Soda & Elixirs will be available at the bar. (Cash preferred; venmo/cards OK.)
