Carrboro Oasis Botanical Lounge Meet Up Group

Join us for our second Tertulia Literaria in Spanish! In English it would be like a Literary Open Mic. Inviting people from the Hispanic community and bilingual people to share poetry, stories, songs, comedy, reflections and more. ALL IN SPANISH.

Hosted by the Cuban author Anechy Padron with the participation of other local authors. We invite anybody who loves literature to come with an open heart to listen and debate literature.

If you need some musical meditation, come chant with us on June 6th, but typically the 2nd Saturday of the month, at Oasis. Samadhi’s Rangadevi Dasi will lead a community kirtan, accompanied by friends, old & new.
Doors open at 7:15 p.m., and the chanting starts at 7:30! The cafe closes during the performance, which starts at 7:30 p.m. The event is free, but donations are graciously accepted by cash or Venmo.

What is Kirtan?

Although the term kirtan is originally from India, we celebrate traditions from around the world that foster community gatherings centered around devotional call and response singing. Kirtan transforms the spirit, bringing us together, unifying our hearts and voices, sharing in the spirit. Because kirtan requires participation, WE NEED YOU!

2025 Oasis Kirtan events will be held on the second Saturday of the month at Oasis.

Future 2025 Saturday Kirtan Dates:

June 6, July 11, Aug 8, Sept 12
