3.11 Close to 80 people walked peacefully in Plymouth to remember Fukushima and to call attention to nuclear safety. We were led by some members of The Wampanoag Nation and monks from The Peace Pagoda. A service held after the walk at the U.U. church/Church of The Pilgrimage allowed people to speak and chanting monks offered moving thoughts.

Recently, at The Guyer Art Barn in Hyannis, MA~
An installation by Tessa D'Agostino. It'll be up thru November 6.

The artist (Tessa) will offer an Intuitive Art Making workshop there on 11.5.11 from 3PM - 6PM. ($45/email MakeInsideArt@gmail.com)

Robert Peters told stories and read from older and forthcoming books at Han Dun Gallery in Mashpee, MA. What evocative stories about people from the area. He read in The Wampanoag Authors series - on 11.5, Earl H. Mills will be reading from 2PM - 4PM.

AND, a new bookstore will open near us - The Book Shack will go in where Borders was in The Independence Mall (Kingston, MA). They were setting things up last weekend and hope to be open very soon. The owners plan to have a cafe with seating, book readings and other events. Let's support them and all the arts and artists in any way we can - whether it's by setting time aside to attend a reading, attending a show and leaving comments in their book or buying a ticket...
