About Us
The Be Well Asheville Wellness Collective
Be Well Asheville is a wellness collective and community platform based in Asheville, North Carolina. Founded by Travis Richardson, Be Well Asheville connects wellness practitioners, healers, coaches, and wellness business owners across Western North Carolina — through education, events, referrals, and a shared commitment to building a stronger local wellness community.
Taste of Wellness Asheville 2026 is Be Well Asheville's flagship community event. It takes place on Saturday, October 24, 2026 at Sun Soo Martial Arts in East Asheville, NC — a curated afternoon of one-on-one practitioner sessions, group immersion experiences, short talks, local wellness vendors, and a collaborative closing ceremony with sound healing and cacao.
The Collective behind this event is a group of 32+ wellness practitioners who know each other, trust each other, and actively collaborate. This isn't a vendor fair — it's what happens when a real community decides to create something together.
The Team
Taste of Wellness is organized by Travis Richardson and brought to life by this team of Be Well Asheville Collective members who are pouring their time, energy, and expertise into making it happen.
