Noted Nelson author John Norris has written a new book, The Myrmidon Papers. A collection of familiar essays framed by two autobiographical stories, it has been published by Hawkeye Press and Hidden Garden Gallery in New Denver. Other books by John Norris are the Wo-Lee Stories (set in Nelson), Old Silverton, Historic Nelson and John’s Garden (with Patrizia Menton). John states that his essays are not formal or academic but include “discussion of any topic that is of human interest, and examination of the writer’s own nature as a human being.” The author will read a story from his book and those present can buy an inscribed copy for $20. Music will be played and refreshments served. All are welcome. Call John Norris at 250-358-2514.

This event is part of a dance-deepening weekend with special guest leaders Tom and Diana Mariam Schmeling from Corvallis, MT. See also Nov 1. The weekend format provides an opportunity for participants to experience the Dances in greater depth. Drop-ins by session also welcome.

2:30 - 5pm - Dance Session
5 - 7pm - Potluck supper
7 - 9pm - Zikr

(Zikr is an Arabic term that translates as “Divine remembrance”. Using sacred phrases from the Sufi tradition, we will explore our true nature and identity in Wholeness, beyond all distinctions and differences.)

No experience or partner is required – the dances are easy to learn and are taught to the whole group each time. Bring non-marking indoor shoes and a water bottle. By donation.
