April's theme for our Oasis Herbal Drink and Draw is Contrast! Defined as a difference in luminance, color, texture, shape, or edges that make an object distinguishable from a background, contrast plays a large part in how we allow the viewer understanding of our artworks.

This month we will be exploring the Dynamic Range of light and dark values, soft and hard edges, rough and smooth textures, and contrasting colors.

We hope to see you Mondays from 4-7 at the Oasis as we delve into the different facets of Contrast!

Join us for our monthly UFO of God meet up at Oasis Botanical Lounge! This meet up with focus on sharing in all capacities. We will begin with a quick overview of Chris' Bledsoe's book, UFO of God, and the Bledsoe Said So community. Then open it up to sharing our own experiences, themes and resources about the phenomena. We have found the more we share our stories, experiences and resources, the more magic, synchronicities, and mind blowing connections that arise. We are sharing in and building a community of like-minded people coming together to awaken the world at this time, and all that is required is that you just show up. No experience necessary but an open, kind heart required.

Please arrive early to get a cup of tea, coffee or an herbal elixir and grab a seat.

Skywatch to follow, weather permitting, even if it's cold. Attendance required for skywatching and the location will be announced at the meet up!

Esther Mae, the enchanting folk duo hailing from Chapel Hill, NC, weaves a musical tapestry that captures the essence of heartfelt storytelling and melodic creativity. Emma's mastery of the guitar, banjo, and mandolin, paired with Chloe's prowess on the fiddle, guitar, and bass, creates a rich, textured sound that resonates deeply with listeners. Listening to Esther Mae feels like going home, even if you don't know where home is anymore. Their songs are sorrowful yet hopeful, devasting yet divine.

Jordan Loder is an international kirtan artist whose devotional chanting flows from raw vulnerability and heartfelt presence. Influenced deeply by Ramana Maharshi's teachings—first felt in youth and later deepened through pilgrimage and extended residence near Arunachala—Jordan weaves ancient Hindu and Buddhist mantras centered on forgiveness, gratitude, and compassion.

Jordan's concerts and retreats have graced stages worldwide, from festivals to yoga studios, fostering community through call-and-response chanting rooted in timeless bhakti traditions—expressed in a contemporary way that is all his own.

His approach is refreshing in its depth and sincerity: profound without pretense, free of spiritual titles or proclaimed powers, carried instead with quiet humility, gentle humor, and an effortless lightness of being. Everything is sacred, with no exceptions—his gatherings offer spaces for emotional release, deep laughter, and profound stillness, inviting all to rest in the ever-present Self.

He draws from extensive immersion in the global kirtan community having toured with beloved artists like Snatam Kaur, Deva Premal & Miten, GuruGanesha, Simrit, Ajeet, The Landis Brothers, Hans Christian, Stephen Bross, Matt Pszonak, and Adam Bauer.

What is CBG?

CBG is a minor cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant, often referred to as the "Mother Of All Cannabinoids" because it is the precursor from which other cannabinoids, like THC and CBD, are derived. CBG itself is non-psychoactive, meaning it doesn't produce a "high," but when combined with other cannabinoids, it creates a more balanced and nuanced experience. CBG supports focus, clarity, and overall wellness, making it the perfect choice for those seeking a natural boost.

Balanced Effects.

Our precise THC and CBG blend offers a smooth, uplifting experience with easily controlled dosing, allowing for customizable effects based on the desired experience. Feel the effects within 5-10 minutes for a quick, consistent experience.

Channeling Spirit & Healing Trauma Through Art
A One-Night Exhibition & Artist Talk with Molly Chopin
Friday, February 27
6:30 PM
Oasis Botanical Lounge | Carrboro, NC
https://mollychopinart.com

Step into a night of visual immersion where intuition, imagination, science, and spirit converge. Molly Chopin is a Raleigh-based painter whose work explores the intersection of science and spirituality, and the healing and evolutionary pathways that arise from this meeting point. Her artistic journey began 13 years ago, when painting became a way to access spirit and reclaim her voice after surviving domestic abuse. From that turning point emerged a guiding truth in her practice: art heals.

Through vibrant colors, layered symbolism, and intuitive forms, Molly creates paintings that spark moments of recognition inviting viewers into deeper connection with their own spirit, with one another, and with the living intelligence of the Earth.

For one night only at Oasis Botanical Lounge, a curated collection of her original works will be on display. Molly will also offer a short artist talk, sharing insights from her journey of channeling spirit through paint, as well as recent evolutions in her creative practice which include direct encounters with mysterious and supernatural phenomena.

Event Highlights
- Original paintings and prints on display and available to collect
- Discussions about creativity, spirituality, and supernatural phenomena
- Free art sticker for every attendee
- Free to attend

Artist Statement
“Each painting is a portal into the mystery of existence. I aim to inspire love: for this shared reality, healing: from its inevitable trials, and resilience: to continue growing within it.

By engaging with my work, I hope viewers will sense a remembrance: a stirring of their own spiritual nature and a recognition of the deep interconnectedness between self, cosmos, and source. Rather than offering answers, my art serves as both mirror and map - reflecting what is meaningful and guiding viewers back to their own inner wisdom. In this way, my practice is both personal and collective, rooted in the belief that beauty, when infused with intention, can become a powerful agent of healing and evolution.”
Molly Chopin
