"Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace" -- Wy'east Member, Lynette Yetter
Wy'east Member and writer Lynette Yetter will share excerpts from her 2010 novel Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace, a fictionalized version of how her spiritual quest to find the ideal society of which the panpipes sing led her to play panpipes in Peru and Bolivia with indigenous people in ceremonies and rituals, chew the sacred coca leaf, and encounter U.S.-supported human rights abuses that led to a life or death decision.
