Charter Oak Gallery Opening Reception: Personal
Mythology by Sugati http://people.tribe.net/sugati
Personal Mythology is a collection of paintings,

own belief systems and the larger, external society.
The reception features new work by eclectic Middle
Eastern ensemble... Nada Dum Ka. Wine and vegan hors
d’oeuvres will be served. Free.

and then stay around for the Gathering!
Gathering of the Tribal Moon
Charter Oak Cultural Center
Thursday, September 7 at 7:30 p.m.
FREE
What do you feel when the moon is full? Extra hairy? A
desire to swell with the rising tide? Illuminated with
the urge to dance and make music and dance some more?
Let the lunar rhythms guide the music and the motion
making you move on this magnificent night.
The Tribe follows no specific dogma, we are coming
together in what was once the oldest synagogue in
Connecticut. It is an evening of merrymaking, pure and
simple, dress outrageously, have a little wine, drum
and dance and laugh and sing, my friends.
Drummers, Dancers, Musicians and Others will gather
every full moon to participate in a truly tribal
experience. We will start with basic Middle-Eastern
rhythms to get the dancers moving and see where we go
from there. Please bring instruments, the desire to
dance or the enthusiasm to share in a tribal
experience. Extra drums and other percussion will be
available as well.
If you so desire, bring an offering for the altar of
the full moon.
Please consider joining the tribe for updates and an
open exchange of ideas for all facets of this event,
