Friday, December 3,2010 from 3:30pm until ??…we at Watershed Books are excited to host  local artist,modern native flautist, keyboardist, bassist, composer, producer, recording artist and storyteller ,Kevin Village Stone-Kiwamura.    

Being of Cherokee and  Japanese ancestry . Kevin performs and records original instrumental compositions of Native American and Ecuadorian flutes over modern and traditional instruments.  His work also includes the renowned “Whispering Light” series of meditation music CDs that  are widely popular.

A unique flavor of Kevin’s music is that he writes and arranges it all himself and plays every instrument on the recordings.  “I do not consider  myself to be a traditional  Native flute player, although I know  many traditional songs … I play for myself and ceremony…the music I perform is a type of cross-cultural renaissance from inside me that uses every musical element I have learned  and experienced.”

Kevin also performs native flute demonstrations, conducts both Native American and Japanese cultural education presentations, and performs multi-tribal traditional storytelling in various  public, private, charities  and museums  throughout Northern California

Please join Watershed Books and Kevin Village Stone-Kiwamura on  Friday Afternoon, December 3rd for a very special event.  Kevin’s recording will be available for  sale.  Complimentary refreshments.  

Mary McMillan, past poet laureate of Lake County, poet, and marriage and family therapist will host  a mini workshop in conjunction with a celebration of her newest book, Get Inside Your Relationship.  

Tools and strategies for building attachments,  this well-written and valuable book is addressed to people who are curious about relationships or who want to build or change relationships- and also to helping professionals.  With step-by-step instructions in down to earth language, it provides the most useful strategies and tools people need to build, maintain, and repair relationships. 

Watershed Books is honored to present Ms McMillan. at our bookstore on Friday, September 3rd from 3:00 pm until 5 pm.

There will be refreshments, drawing for a free book and the certainty of a lively  discussion.  Join us.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am  I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?  Actually, who  are you not to be?

You are a child of God.  Your playing small doesn’t serve the world.  There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.

We were born to make manifest the Glory of God that is within us.  It’s not just in some of us.  It’s in everyone.

Desmond Tutu

Steve Bartholomew will read from and discuss his mysterious novel, Chapel Perilous , here at Watershed Books on Friday, March 5, 2010, from 3pm until 5pm.  A lively discussion always surrounds our visit with Steve, a local  and hardworking author.  Join us here and then continue an enjoyable evening with the Main Street Gallery’s First Friday Fling … new local artists show their work.  Great schmoozing, too.

“I do think that women could make politics irrelevant by a kind of spontaneous cooperative action, the likes of which we have never see–just so far from people’s ideas of state structure and viable social structure that it seems to them like total anarchy.  And what it is is  very subtle forms of interrelation which do not follow some hierarchical pattern that is fundamentally patriarchal.  The opposite of patriarchy is not matriarchy, but fraternity.  And i think it’s women who are going to have to break the spiral of power and find the trick of cooperation.”
