SUMMARY:Mantras for Healing and Compassion: Buddhist Mantra Chanting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“Mantra” is a term that makes frequent appearances in various areas of our society today. Mantras for healing\, personal mantras\, daily mantras\, mantra in a yoga class\, mantra as a brand\, and so on. But where do mantras originate and what was their purpose? What are some examples of ancient mantras that still survive today and are used by spiritual traditions around the world? For example\, one of the most popular mantras in the Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhist tradition is the mantra Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum\, which often appears on yoga matts\, prayer flags in coffee shops\, or laptop stickers. But what does this mantra really mean? How is it used in meditation and chanting practices? What are the benefits of this mantra for healing and mental health? This experiential workshop will explore these questions by having a go at chanting some of these mantras as they have been chanted for centuries across the Himalayas and Inner Asia. Dr. Ujeed who will be leading the session spent years collecting and learning different melodies for meditative mantra recitation from Buddhist teachers from various ancient Buddhist traditions from Tibet\, the Himalayas and Mongolia and will be sharing them during the workshop. \nCharity Fundraiser Event for Chamba Animal Care Center\, Ladakh. Donation encouraged but not expected. \nFree and open to the public.

SUMMARY:October Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Jasmin Iskandar de Caro
DESCRIPTION:October 2026 Artist of the Month: Jasmin Iskandar de Caro \nExhibit Title: Fluir \n\nFluir\, Spanish meaning “to flow”\, presents a series of abstract paintings composed of fluid\, organic forms that surge and dissolve. Shapes stretch\, merge\, and disperse\, suggesting an atmospheric space in constant flux. \nJasmin Iskandar de Caro’s visual language operates as an allegory for shifting states of consciousness. Just as the forms resist fixation\, perception itself is destabilized—moving through clarity\, distortion\, expansion\, and collapse. The paintings evoke the sensation of thought and feeling blending together\, highlighting the fluidity between different states of mind. \nAbstraction acts as a way to extend the moment between seeing and recognition. In this space of perception\, Iskandar de Caro invites the viewer to further pause their thinking-mind\, which seeks to label and understand. We are asked instead to live inside the questions raised by the work itself.  \nJasmin Iskandar de Caro was born outside Los Angeles\, California to immigrant parents whose roots span Mexico\, Italy\, and China by way of Indonesia. Raised in an assimilation-driven household with little connection to a defined cultural lineage\, she developed an early sense of dislocation that led her to question ideas of identity and belonging. Over time\, her inquiry shifted toward understanding belonging not as a cultural inheritance\, but as a deeper state of being. \nArtist Statement \nI create abstract paintings that are visually complex and suggestive of a narrative arc\, inviting the eye to move throughout the composition as though embarking on a journey. I am deeply influenced by James Joyce’s concept of aesthetic arrest—the idea that a work of art can suspend the psyche in a moment of pure perception. By offering a stimulating visual field\, my work seeks to extend the moment in which perception arises before interpretation begins. \nWebsite: www.BosqueOscuro.com

SUMMARY:November Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Sandra Drabant
DESCRIPTION:November 2026 Artist of the Month: Sandra Drabant \nExhibit Title: Fluir \n\nFluir\, Spanish meaning “to flow”\, presents a series of abstract paintings composed of fluid\, organic forms that surge and dissolve. Shapes stretch\, merge\, and disperse\, suggesting an atmospheric space in constant flux. \nJasmin Iskandar de Caro’s visual language operates as an allegory for shifting states of consciousness. Just as the forms resist fixation\, perception itself is destabilized—moving through clarity\, distortion\, expansion\, and collapse. The paintings evoke the sensation of thought and feeling blending together\, highlighting the fluidity between different states of mind. \nAbstraction acts as a way to extend the moment between seeing and recognition. In this space of perception\, Iskandar de Caro invites the viewer to further pause their thinking-mind\, which seeks to label and understand. We are asked instead to live inside the questions raised by the work itself.  \nJasmin Iskandar de Caro was born outside Los Angeles\, California to immigrant parents whose roots span Mexico\, Italy\, and China by way of Indonesia. Raised in an assimilation-driven household with little connection to a defined cultural lineage\, she developed an early sense of dislocation that led her to question ideas of identity and belonging. Over time\, her inquiry shifted toward understanding belonging not as a cultural inheritance\, but as a deeper state of being. \nArtist Statement \nI create abstract paintings that are visually complex and suggestive of a narrative arc\, inviting the eye to move throughout the composition as though embarking on a journey. I am deeply influenced by James Joyce’s concept of aesthetic arrest—the idea that a work of art can suspend the psyche in a moment of pure perception. By offering a stimulating visual field\, my work seeks to extend the moment in which perception arises before interpretation begins. \nWebsite: www.BosqueOscuro.com

SUMMARY:December Artist of the Month Opening Reception - Ruthie Basham
DESCRIPTION:December 2026 Artist of the Month: Ruthie Basham \nExhibit Title: Mandala Blessings \n\nRuthie Basham is a trained painter\, yoga teacher\, and dancer\, weaving together visual arts and movement therapies for over 25 years to serve a diverse range of clients and students within her Ann Arbor and NYC communities and internationally. After receiving her BFA in drawing and painting from the University of Michigan\, she began creating hundreds of custom mandalas—circular\, meditative paintings for focus on mind/body/spirit integration; Ruthie is committed to leading her clients to discover the beauty of their pure essence. She is passionate about researching\, preserving\, and sharing cultural and ecological wisdom to inspire her clients to connect more deeply to their unique gifts. \nRuthie’s work hangs in private and public collections worldwide\, and she has exhibited as well as having work on permanent display at Brooklyn Museum\, Adidas/Wanderlust Yoga Line Launch\, Sotheby’s\, and Barclay Center. \nHer movement therapy certifications include thousands of hours as a trauma-informed yoga and meditation teacher through Pure Yoga NYC\, along with yoga therapeutics\, acupressure (Shiatsu therapy)\, anatomy\, Ayurveda\, and doula care. Clients have described her presence as feeling like a warm hug and her yoga and dance classes as having a holistic and grounded rhythm and flow\, deepening strength\, joint mobility\, flexibility\, alignment\, balance\, posture\, muscle engagement\, recovery\, mental health\, awareness of their breath\, and overall well-being. \nThroughout Ruthie’s childhood and teen years\, she studied a wide array of yoga forms like Vinyasa\, Iyengar\, Ashtanga\, and Hatha. Her professional dance background includes training and performing with many renowned teachers like NYC Ballet legend Suzanne Farrell\, School of American Ballet\, Alvin Ailey\, Martha Graham\, and National Ballet of Senegal. In her free time\, Ruthie loves singing\, cooking\, and spending time with family and friends. \nThis balance of art and movement echoes the mandala’s teachings\, holding stillness at the center of the universe with the dance of life encircling its circumference. \nArtist Statement: \n“I am inspired by artistic\, cultural\, and ecological wisdom that illuminates a deeper connection to our true nature.” —Ruthie Basham \nReturning from NYC to her roots in Ann Arbor\, where she used to hang out at Crazy Wisdom as a U of M student\, this is the first time Ruthie is offering a collection of original works of fine art for the general public. With over 25 years of experience creating hundreds of intuitive personal mandala paintings worldwide\, this exhibit explores collective longing around themes of compassion for ourselves and others\, preserving ecology\, highlighting spiritual wisdom\, and revealing hidden ancestral gifts. Ruthie is humbled by her role as a translator between this world and the unseen world\, dedicated to the preservation\, protection\, illumination and evolution of our sacred circle. \n“The web of life both cradles us and calls us to weave it further.”\n—Joanna Macy \nJoin us for mandala meditations\, music\, gentle movement\, and nourishing refreshments to open and seal the circle of Ruthie’s December gallery exhibit. We are very much looking forward to welcoming you! \nWebsite: www.ruthiebasham.com
