SPRING 2024: Sprung

APRIL 1 - JUNE 30

Spring's here, and at VORTEX, we're totally sprung. You know the vibe – when you're head-over-heels for someone or something, and it's all you can think, dream, or talk about? Yeah, that electric buzz in the air isn't just from the season; it's from us diving deep into what gets us all lit up inside.

HOW OJAI GREW ON DREW:

Seven Decades of Adventures, Misadventures, and Magic Through the Eyes of Drew Mashburn

VORTEX is excited to announce its newest collaboration: a collection of personal essays that transport you across time through the eyes of one of its wittiest and wisest storytellers.

But beyond the anecdotes and nostalgia, these essays are a love letter to Ojai itself. Drew's deep connection to this special place shines through every word, and you can't help but fall in love with it too. So sit back, relax, and let Drew Mashburn be your guide to the Ojai life. It's a ride you won't soon forget!
