VASHON ISLAND FLUTE GATHERING
Every year in eary October, 30 or so people gather together to learn, share, encourage, support and just have a great deal of fun in a community of like minded people who love the Native American Style Flute.

I learn more and mrore each time I go to this event.

It is always an amazing time. The instructors were absolutely outstanding, Cornell Kinderknecht, Pam Mortenson and Anthony Nativdad. They bring a true committment to helping people learn and grow as players of the flute.

This years event was the best of the ones that I have attended ( my fourth time).

Wayne McClesky, the driving force behind this event, could not attend this year for personal reasons. He was very much missed and everyone held space so that the circumstances in Wayne' s turn out to be the very best they can be.

Thank you to everyone who makes this gathering happen, to the participants who create a safe and energetic space for the great week end

I had the great opportunity to perform twice on the New Breathe stage this year and It is really a fun time to play for people who love these flutes as much as I do. I could not stay for the award ceremony however to my delight and surprize , I opened an email when I arrived home informing me that I had been chosen as the best performer on the New Breathe Stage for Flute Quest 2010. What a thrill and an honor and I thank everyone who voted for me.

The flute quest people truly do a great job of organizing this event. Thanks for making it happen so well.

Awhile back Peaceful Spirit Flutes was invited to be a vendor at the BC Renaissance Festival in Langley July 16, 17 and 18th. We decided we were up for the challenge. I am sure a bunch of knights, jousters, peasants and pirates could use a good dose of
peaceful flutes. It is going to be a great adventure I am certain.

Flutequest is always a great event to attend. There are wonderful flute makers people just brimming with enthusiasm about the Native American Flutes, excellent professional performers and at the New Breathe Stage as well.  The selection of workshops is wonderful with something to offer from beginner to advanced players. The location on the ocean at Salt Water Park is a very welcoming place for this festival.

It is well organized and a delight to attend. I am truly looking forward to my next Flute quest adventure in August of 2010.

I hope to see you there and listen to you play your song.
