Mandaza Kandemwa, Zimbabwean Elder and Traditional Healer will be back in the Bay Area from August 29th to Sept 4th
for private healing sessions and community healing rituals.
Bay Area Daré will again host Mandaza during his 8th visit to North America. There will be public gatherings, community healing
rituals and private appointments through which you can
experience Mandaza's traditional healing and peacemaking.
There will be both private sessions and public events. Many of which will be fundraisers to sustain Mandaza's ceremonial healing and council work in Zimbabwe. No one will be turned away
for lack of funds. We will work out what we must, to do the work that
Spirit guides us to do together.
PLEASE HELP US SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT MANDAZA'S VISIT by circulating this information your communities and networks. and For more information contact elenna rubin goodman at sistahseedatsbcglobal.net. To schedule private appointments About the Bay Area DARE' ----------
Inspiration for DARE came from Zimbabwe, where indigenous healer Mandaza Kandemwa was instructed through vision to collaborate with other healers across the world. DARE was brought to North America through the meeting of Mandaza with writer Deena Metzger and poet and nganga Michael Ortiz Hill. Through their shared work Elenna Rubin Goodman hosted the first gathering of DARE in the Bay Area in January, 2002. Daré meets every month on the Sunday closest to the full moon from 12:00 to 7:00 PM in Oakland, CA . All are welcome. The Arabian Nights presented by Young Actors Workshop July 23rd - 25th 7:00 PM July 26th 2:00 PM Campus Community Theatre 215 Ridgeway Avenue Oakland, CA 94611  In the theme of EAPoe Our high school English teacher meant well. hit upon to make Poe “come alive” by having the class split into sopranos and baritones and spontaneously recite his worst poem, glee-club style. The following is a true story. Once upon a school-day dreary, while I nodded, vague and weary, Wond’ring at the dull, monotonous verse that English class compels, While I sat there, no harm doing, doodles on my desk construing, Suddenly some girl came shooing me across the room with yells, Growling, squawking, shushing, shooing all across the room with yells; “Hey!” I muttered; “What the hell’s–” Little did I know what dire circumstances loomed, or why, or Whether I should scowl or sigh, or what ill such tumult foretells; Late I rued my inattention, and despaired of intervention When I fathomed what unmentionable noise so loudly wells – What a monstrous travesty of sound so sinisterly wells: Choral reading of “The Bells”! For it’s “bells”, and “bells” it echoes, till the room seems filled with geckos Teeming, screaming out the morbid music of a thousand hells – Burrowing into the cortex, roiling in a noisome vortex, Casting iambs long and short ex tempore in seasick swells, Sounding grunts and cackles like a coven’s dark incanted spells – Such anarchy was “The Bells”. “Never,” thought I, “breath’d such evil, since the wilderness primeval! Even tortures medieval this bleak exercise excels! Though upon the rack they rend you, low above the fire suspend you, Neither it nor pit nor pendulum such grueling torment tells – Never such excruciating lamentation as retells -Choral reading of ‘The Bells’.” Ghastly voices still are singing; in my ears continue ringing Horrid tintinnabulations which no asp’rin pill dispels; Through my brain those verses bubble, ev’ry syllable redoubled, My redoubt reduced to rubble while that threnody still knells – Rubble out of which is built the cell in which my soul now dwells, In the Tower of “The Bells”. Mitchell Random Apologies (and curses) to E.A.P. | Vocalist Bon Singer and harpist Diana Rowan share an original program of uplifting, challenging and inspiring music addressing our journey through this world. Bringing together Eastern European, Western classical and mystical music influences, this will be an intimate and powerful evening."This music will stay with me forever," a recent audience member. We're excited to play at this beautiful house again - wonderful acoustics! Suggested donation $15.Solo harp at Mount Shasta Mystical music in a mystical place I'm delighted to return to The Flying Lotus, a fascinating space in Mount Shasta that works to encourage and share creativity and spirituality. I'll be playing from my 2 CDs ... Diana Rowan 7:00PM Sunday, August 16th The Flying Lotus Just to keep you in the loop, as the hangman put it, about my ongoing monthly social "club." Or is it a jazz club? Cheers, Ken Noted jazz reedsman Philip Greenlief, with his trio 'Citti di Vitti' (after Monica Vitti of Antonioni fame) will be playing, as the jazz parties switch from first to second Sundays of the month--Sunday, July 12, 2-5 p. m. at Cafe Royale, 800 Post at Leavenworth. As always, requesting--& "request" the operant word; no-one turned away--$5 or more for the band, which is subsidized through your kindness. We're honored to have Philip play for us--please come early! --and bring friends ... For those who haven't been, Cafe Royale is low-key, full of natural light, & features reasonably-priced beer & wine, sake & soju, coffee, tea, soft drinks & snacks. You can order out for food; some revelers bring dishes & snacks to share. Families are welcome. There's often parking on the street, especially early on. If not, the nearest garage is uphill, north a block & a half up Leavenworth, between Sutter & Bush--best rates start at 3 hours, so perfect for the length of the party. If you're coming from the north, take a left on Post off Van Ness; it's 4 blocks. From the south or east, the Van Ness exit is good, cross Market, right at Post. From BART: exit to the north at Montgomery St.--Post starts at Montgomery & Market--a pleasant 8-block walk. (From Powell BART, up Powell & left on Post at Union Square; from Civic Center, north on Hyde to Post, then right to Post & Leavenworth--but Montgomery's best on foot!) The 27 Bryant crosses Post at Leavenworth going north from the Mission & SOMA, south at Jones. The 38 Geary crosses Leavenworth westbound; eastbound, at O'Farrell.

In the traditional music world, people say John Doyle is the best Irish guitarist to come along in many years – maybe the best ever. There’s no doubt he’s one reason the guitar has become an important instrument in Irish music, where it was once almost nonexistent. http://www.johndoylemusic.com/ John has toured with, produced or played on dozens of albums, with top fiddlers Eileen Ivers and Liz Carroll, and English folk legend Linda Thompson, Kate Rusby, Tim O'Brien, Alison Brown, Maura O'Connell and nearly everyone in the world of Irish music. He’s created a style that combines rhythm and melody in a way that pleases fans of traditional music, jazz and even rock n’ roll. In a review of the band Solas, (of which he was a founding member) one critic said it seemed superfluous to have a drummer on stage while Doyle cranked out one rhythmic change after another on his guitar. His debut solo album, Evening Comes Early (Shanachie Records, 2002) showcased his singing talents for the first time and his follow-up recording, Wayward Son (Compass Records) has him now winning accolades as singer extraordinaire and a fine tunesmith to boot. John is probably the busiest man in Irish music as his powerful talents have him at the top of a lot of fellow musician's studio wish lists. John is currently music director and guitarist with Joan Baez. http://www.sterngrove.org/july12_09.html Greenhouse gigs coming up Hello Celtic Music friends --

Over the last dozen years, while everyone was arguing about blogging, the new medium came into its own. What started as the passion of a handful of geeky pioneers evolved into the pursuit of millions. That is the story Scott Rosenberg tells. SAY EVERYTHING chronicles blogging’s unplanned rise and improbable triumph, tracing its impact on politics, business, the media, and our personal lives. What blogging has become, Rosenberg says, is a new kind of public sphere -- one in which we can think out loud together. Join the conversation with us. 7:30 PM Berkeley Arts & Letters and Berkeley Cybersalon @ The Hillside Club (2286 Cedar Street, Berkeley) 2286 Cedar Street, Berkeley $10. general, $5. Hillside members and students at Brown Paper Tickets (Tickets at the door pending space available) Scott Rosenberg is a cofounder of Salon.com, where he long served as managing editor, and is the author of Dreaming in Code If you missed some of our spring talks, you’ll find a number of them here, at FORA.TV, with more to be posted.
