Join us for a special afternoon with artist Lonnie Holley. Holley is not only an internationally renowned visual artist—whose multimedia works are featured in major museum collections worldwide, including the Smithsonian Museum of American Art, the High Museum of Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and many more—but also a successful improvisational musician and visionary filmmaker. For this program, Holley will screen his film I Snuck Off a Slave Ship—which premiered at Sundance—discuss his works in the Museum’s Collection, engage with questions from the audience, and perhaps treat us to an impromptu performance.

Every April, American Folk Art honors a wild pottery tradition that began regionally in the early 1800’s. No one knows for sure when the first face jug was created, but around the mountain region of North Carolina, face jugs began to be created for the storage of moonshine around 1810. The faces, snakes and other foreboding additions were added to the clay jugs to scare the children, so they would not drink the contents. In the unadorned world of the 1800’s, the face jug was remarkable and the tradition allowed for much creativity and fun amongst potters. Face jugs continue to be created in the same fashion as of old, which includes hand digging and mixing regional soils to make the clay, using regional materials to make the glazes, in many cases using broken plates for the teeth, and wood-firing the jugs to 2300 degrees. They are still in use, holding moonshine, but not necessarily scaring the kids.
Starting on Tuesday, March 24, Ingles will dedicate the first shopping hour from 7 – 8 am on Tuesdays and Wednesdays to senior shoppers and those with compromised immune systems.
Publix Markets reserves 7-8 a.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for customers age 65 and older. Home delivery is available through Instacart.

I will be holding an Introduction to Shamanic Journeying zoom class next Tuesday evening (4/7) from 6:30-8:30pm. This virtual class will include the history of shamanism, the benefits of shamanic healings, as well as how to do a shamanic journey.
If you are interested, please private message me with your email and I will send you all of the information. This is the night of the full moon, so what better time to learn about shamanism?
Peace.

*Feel more solid and resourceful.
*Fuel your purpose with your passion and power.
This worldwide pause and everything that is happening can be a little scary. There are many unknowns and that can put us in a very negative, unresourceful place where we are left feeling powerless. Yet, we have the opportunity to make this a pivotal time in our lives. As in the Heroes Journey, where the heroine steps into her power and turns it all around.
There is no better time than now, to reassess and take inventory of our lives. Have you created a spiritually fulfilling life? A life of meaning and purpose? Have you fully stepped into your power to offer your true gifts?
In this session, we will use tapping, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to help move beyond fear and anxiety and bring forward and strengthen your core passion.
This is a video-on type of meeting because I want to see you.
We are going online! Mark your calendars for every second Wednesday at 6:30PM.
The Healing Oasis Practitioner’s have special healing practices and long distance healing for you every month! We hope you can join us on Zoom (just like Skype).
Feel free to message us with any questions about this next event.
