“On July 13, 1793, Jean-Paul Marat was brutally stabbed in his bathtub by French counter-revolutionary Charlotte Corday. On July 13, 2012 - 219 years later (to the day) - Marc Huestis presents Thrillpeddlers production of Marat/Sade, the Tony Award-winning theatrical classic by Peter Weiss.
Marat/Sade asks the age-old question whether true revolution comes from changing society or changing oneself. This production brings to the stage a rousing group of collaborators - SF impressario Marc Huestis (producer), the Bay Area’s vibrant theatrical troupe Thrillpeddlers (2011 recipient of six Bay Area Theatre Critics Awards and voted Best Underground Theater Company by 7 x 7 Magazine) featuring the talents of Russell Blackwood (director) and Scrumbly Koldewyn (musical director) and costume designs by award winner Beaver Bauer (Tales Of The City, Teatro Zinzanni).“

Gyudmed Monks: Art of Compassion Tour 2012
Wednesday, July 25-Sunday July 29
East West Bookstore, 324 Castro Street, Mountain View

“The Tibetan Buddhist monks from the Gyudmed Tantric Monastery are religious scholars and masters in the Tibetan sacred art of the sand mandala. These mandalas are constructed of millions of grains of brightly colored sand, arranged in intricate designs of flowers, animals, and Tibetan sacred symbols. The creators of a sand mandala accrue merit which they transmit for the benefit of all sentient beings, as well as for those who view the mandala and even those who hear of its creation. Sand mandalas were traditionally created in monasteries where lay people could never see them. Thanks to these monks traveling in the West, we’ll be able to watch the entire mandala creation process as it unfolds over the course of their 9-day stay at East West.
The monks will also give several presentations on Buddhist art and meditation in the evenings. You’ll learn about thangkas - the cloth paintings that serve as teaching tools, depicting the life of the Buddha, or illustrating other spiritual subjects - and even get to create your own. Thursday will feature butter sculpting, in which offerings are made of butter intricately modeled and colored in the traditional forms of buddhas, flowers, animals, and auspicious symbols. These artforms are considered central to spiritual development in Tibetan Buddhism.
All proceeds from this tour go to Tibetan Living Communities, a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement of education and healthcare for Tibetans in India and Tibet.”

Ashik Kerib
film screening
Saturday, July 28, 5:00-7:00PM
Silk Road House, 1944 University Avenue, Berkeley, 510-981-0700
http://www.silkroadhouse.org
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashik_Kerib_(film)
“Ashik Kerib is a 1988 film directed by Sergei Parajanov, his last completed feature film dedicated to the memory of Andrei Tarkovsky (1932-86). Assistant director David Abashidze. Written by Guiya Badridze based on the story by Mikhail Lermontov (1837). A Georgia-Film Studio Production. The 2007 DVD by Kino International Ruscico.
The story is about Ashik Kerib, the wandering minstrel living in the city of Tiflis, who wants to marry his beloved Magul-Megeri, but her father rudely opposes since Kerib is poor. Magul vows to wait for him for a thousand days and nights until he comes back with enough money to impress her father. If he fails to return or returns with not enough, she will have to marry the rich Kurshudbek. Kerib sets out on a journey to gain wealth and encounters many difficulties and symbolic adventures, but with the help of a saint horseman, he miraculously returns to his beloved on the 1001st day, before the wedding ceremony of Magul and villain Kurshudbek is completed. Ashik Kerib and his faithful Magul are fairly able to reunite and to happily marry. This folk tale was well known in slightly different versions throughout the Caucasus, Central Asia, Near East, Russia, and other regions. Its plot belongs to the well-known (since The Odyssey) international motif ‘the husband at his wife’s marriage.’
In this movie music and color are playing a key role. Dialogue is minimal and scripts are used to narrate the plot changes. Starring Yuri Mgoyan (Ashik Kerib), Sofiko Chiaureli (his mother), and others. Original music and the saz playing by Djavanshir Kuliyev. Numerous songs sung by the outstanding Azeri singer Alim Gasimov. Choreography by Gogi Aleksidze (1941-2008). Cinematography by Albert Yavuryan and Sergo Sikharulidze.
Running time 74 minutes. In Azeri with English subtitles.
The screening will be introduced and commented on by Alma Kunanbaeva.
Silk Road House events are sponsored by the Silkroad Foundation.”

Visitors to Old Sacramento will enjoy lively and interactive street theatre as part of the hugely popular Time Travel Weekends that debuted last year to much applause. The streets of Old Sacramento will come alive with talented performers who put on spontaneous and elaborate skits and performances. Plus, visitors won’t want to miss the highly entertaining Old West stage shows happening daily including the much acclaimed Golden Melodeon Review in the Eagle Theatre.
As you stroll through Old Sacramento on weekends July through August, you might just chance upon historic re-enactments complete with wagons, wild characters with heroes and villains, children’s pioneer craft activities, historic gambling, bowling, juggling, singing, dancing and other forms of musical mastery, military encampments, mining camps, parades, historic events, medicine shows, Civil War cannon firings, and much, much more!”
A lot of the performers in this program are Renaissance Faire and/or Dickens Fair folk!
Director Robert Young, who may look familiar to you if you’ve ever met Mr. Dickens himself, or attended a Mysterium Om ritual at PantheaCon, says:
“THE CURTAIN'S GOING UP - on a new season of Time Travel Weekends in Sacramento City. The very first melodrama to open the Eagle Theatre in 1849, 'The Bandit Chief', will be reborn on that stage every afternoon. An entertaining show of variety acts will also take stage - jugglers, Shakespearean actors, medicine show, can can, music hall and much more - concluding in the stirring pageant 'Triumph of Eureka'. Mr. Mark Twain himself will hold forth with his droll humor and entertaining tales. The streets will be bustling with wagons, carriages, parades, music and lively characters. Will you be there?”

“Twenty years ago I was visited by an archetypal image that I named Indigo Animal. Indigo and I have traveled together through picture and story, meeting other creatures along the way. This encounter with the unconscious is a contemporary example of what CG Jung ‘discovered’ and elaborated in The Red Book, eventually calling the process active imagination. In a slide show of my illustrated book, Indigo Animal and the Lawn Statuary Research Institute, I will present the characteristics of active imagination. Participants will learn how to embark on an inner adventure with active imagination themselves; feel free to bring your own theme or dream image to work with. Together we will investigate both the joys and the potential pitfalls of this most creative of psychological investigations.
Rue Harrison Whittaker, MA, MFT, is an exhibiting artist and a psychotherapist in Oakland whose approach draws on image, metaphor, dream, EMDR, and hypnosis. She is currently preparing the Indigo Animal trilogy for publication.”

“The Liturgy of the Lady is an open celebration of the Goddess in Her many forms. She is the Maiden of youth, the Mother of culture, the Crone of wisdom, and She is mirrored in all life, death and rebirth. We honor Her with reverent and joyful singing, ritual activities, and opportunities to learn. Now in our fourth decade of offering this sacred service, we invite you to join us.
Enchanted Moon Circle has been meeting under the full moon for fifteen years to worship the Goddess with songs and chants. Our Lady Moon mirrors the cycles of women in Her courses, and reminds us that all things wax and wane. Luna connects us with the primordial past as we join in the tradition of honoring Her at the full moon.
Please dress in layers: Enchanted Moon prefers to meet outside if possible. Men, this is your chance to worship with this women's circle.
Objects may be charged on the altar during the rite. Wheelchair accessible (let us know if you need someone to hold the door for you.) Family and child-friendly. Incense will be used in this ritual, unless requested in advance. Mark your calendar for the next Liturgy of the Lady, August 26. Please share this invitation with your friends.”
