A full house of individuals joined Pamela Sackett, principal artist & founder of Emotion Literacy Advocates (ELA), as she read passages from her latest book, “I Can.”
The evening’s activities featured a couple musical surprises with special guest Nalini Lasiewicz, Pamela’s singing partner in Los Angeles, where they performed and recorded. They reconnected, for the first time in numerous years, when Nalini flew to Seattle to participate in the book launch, singing her signature harmonies to the book’s theme song: “Inside My Head.” (Special thanks to Bill Zama for taking and giving us this video.)
We had a lively discussion afterwards, with Q & A to start, followed by much mingling. We thank all of you who attended the event as well as those who expressed interest.
EXCERPTED FROM OUR EVENT GUEST BOOK ENTRIES:
All the lost things in the world come to you for voice. This was lovely, the reading, the songs, the discussion…
~Arlene Plevin, Ph.D
Witness! something I needed to hear. In a world that is so angry, cruel and shocking, you are the fresh breath.
~Marjie Cogan (work in progress)
Listening to you read soothes, elevates and enlightened me. I am grateful for all of the love, curiosity and grace you have invested in a quest that we know is NOT quixotic: healing, holding and salving the world’s woundedness.
~audience member
Keep sharing your insight, the world needs you.
