Do you want to take your remote working game to the next level? Do you find yourself saying wtf is Manifesting Self??

Well, you’re not alone. Remote working is glamorous, and also presents itself with challenges not seen in the traditional office environment.

Manifesting Self may sound a little out there. Trust me. It’s not. Whether we’ve been in the remote space for years, since the pandemic, or just recently, I’m certain it has changed each of us in ways we never thought possible. Let’s explore that together. The highs, the lows, and everywhere in between. And from there experience growth.

We are so excited to see you, again or for the first time!

June Selection - Is A River Alive?: A Journey with Water by Robert Macfarlane

At the heart of Is a River Alive? is a single, transformative idea: that rivers are not mere matter for human use, but living beings, who should be recognized as such in both imagination and law. Macfarlane takes the reader on a mind-expanding global journey into the history, futures, people and places of the ancient, urgent concept.

Welcome to our robust and engaging Book Club! We're a small, friendly group dedicated to fostering lively discussions about our monthly book selections. Whether you've read the entire book, just a few chapters, or even if you're simply curious about the title, we'd love to have you join us!

Meeting Schedule: We gather on the First Tuesday of every month for our book discussions.

What sets us apart is our small group size and directed discussions. This intimate setting allows for deeper, more engaging conversations where everyone's voice can be heard. It's the perfect environment for those who love to dive deep into themes, characters, and the intricacies of storytelling.

So whether you're a seasoned bookworm or just dipping your toes into the world of literature, we invite you to join us. Let's explore new worlds, challenge our perspectives, and forge new friendships - one book at a time!

July Pick: Book Swap & Planning!

Five years ago, a few remote workers had a wild idea: what if we actually left our homes and talked to humans? Look at us now.

Time for a Birthday Party!

AVL Digital Nomads has grown into the largest and most impactful remote work community in the country — and we're celebrating the way all good things should be celebrated: with beer, a food truck, and zero mandatory icebreaker games. You're welcome.

By the numbers (since you asked): 575 events. 18,000 attendee registrations. 70 organizers. Nearly 5,000 nomads and counting. $400M annual estimated employment income impact.

This community has never been run top-down by some committee in a boardroom. It's been built by you — the organizers, the regulars, the lurkers who finally showed up, and the newcomers who are about to discover their people.

Developers, designers, consultants, writers, founders, freelancers — somehow we all ended up in Asheville, chasing that life/work integration dream. Turns out, we're not alone. Not even close.

We're heading back to where it all started: Wedge Brewing on Foundy St. — our original stomping ground. Find us out back with picnic tables, name tags, and good vibes. A food truck will be onsite because celebrating on an empty stomach is a tragedy.

No pitch decks. No panels. No "synergizing." Just a genuinely great group of people celebrating five years of proving that remote work doesn't have to be lonely — especially not in Asheville.

Grab your spot. Bring a friend. We'll bring the cake.

See you there, nomad.
