The Crowd Enjoyed...the performances, the food, and community dialogues as they engaged with questions, insights and inspirations, sparked by the artistry of the guest performers. As we are in full swing with our fifth season of the salons, it is clear that all of us, especially in these uncertain times need to feel strengthened by our humanity. The recession, the horrors abroad, and uneasy questions about our society… we hunger for deeper meaning in life: “Who are we as human beings, if we cannot reach out to one another?
How can we make a difference in world where each us can easily feel so small and insignificant? How can we ‘connect’ and feel a part of something positive?”.
To this we say, “Think Global, Act Local, Be Compassionate!: Create! Communicate! Celebrate our deepest passions for the Love of Life!”. For those of you who have been to our Salon series, thank you for co-creating this with us.
Perhaps this little bit of inspiration can fuel the “light” in you to carry on “out there” in the community. For those who have yet to come to our studio- we invite you to attend (Our next salons are: Feb 27, Mar. 13, Apr. 10, May 15, June 5). Be a part of this “light”… help spark it in others.

Eth-Noh-Tec presents San Francisco’s most eclectic blend of art, artists, and conversations with the community that loves them! This season, the salon series promises to illuminate the brightest creators found amongst our community. The alchemy will be magical!: a Hawaiian choir, vocal loop artist, a fabric artist, a Brooklyn born songwriter, a public art creator, circus artists, and dozens of other painters, poets, playwrights, and storytellers. They are here for you! Come and enjoy their work, and engage in the post-presentation conversation about why and how they serve their community, the diverse peoples of the SF Bay Area.
Here are the artists of our very first salon this season:

Other recent performance titles such as “AD: The Final Fantasy” (2004) were performed for the Sacred Dance Guild Festival 2007, Berkeley, CA. Honor’s Kajiwara’s mother, Martha, who transitioned with Alzheimer’s Disease.

Doris has been described as “bringing magic into the classroom. She has an infinite talent for using the spoken word to weave tales”… (Jean Robertson, principal Grattan School)
Leon Sun (Painter & Poet): In this whimsical collection of paintings and poems, San Francisco artist Leon Sun shares little snippets of insight and wisdom arising from life with his Siberian Husky, Nikki. In Buddhism, dharma means universal transcendent turh, the way of all things. “Taking refuge in the dharma” means to live in truth. One pursues this way of life through study, meditation, guidance by a teacher and in engaging with a community of fellow seekers and practitioners. My dog and I form a micro community of our own. We teach each other things as we journey through the world. His name is Nikki.
