On Sunday, October 27th, 5PM PT, Mindful Musings presented "Up To The Task: In The Season of Storms" a feel-good yet potent event that ended with discussion about the weight of the 'many' and the importance of having your voice 'make a difference'! Eth-Noh-Tec brought 2 other tandem performing couples - Anne Rutherford and Norm Brecke, and Sharon Abreu and Micheal Hurwitz - to join our own tandem telling to bring tales and tunes that address the age-old quest for leadership that works for all. This event was free to the public.
