I just got off the horn with Mike Oitzman, one of the Directors of the Northern California Flute Circle and he as graciously offered to not only officially recognize us, but to help us get this off the ground.
We have to finalize details, but once we have a date and time set for our first gathering we will post it here and on the NCFC website (naflute.com), as well as the local music stores, etc. This first gathering might include some basic instruction offered by Mike and, perhaps, members of another regional clan to get us started. The idea will be to continue to meet on a monthly basis.
I am in contact with Columbia State Park to see if we can meet in the picnic area as weather permits, and to get the necessary gathering permissions that might be required. We will probably rotate meeting places depending on size, etc., to perhaps include members homes.
More details soon!

Sierra Raven Clan
Welcome to the Sierra Raven Clan blog. The Sierra Raven Clan was founded by as an outlet for many things including the appreciation for the Native American Flute and other world instruments. The Sierra Raven Clan has approached the Northern California Flute Circle (http://naflute.com/) to request official recognition and affiliation as a regional NCFC flute circle/ clan for the Sierra foothill regions encompassing the Tuolumne and Calaveras County areas. Our goal is to provide an outlet for those who wish to not only learn to play, but for those whose lives are already being enhanced by the Path of the Flute. Whether one is new or old to the flute, we all have so much to share and we can continue to learn together. It will also be our goal to also help spread the word about the NCFC and its benefits.
The catalyst for this was largely in part due to my participation as a back up musician at Grammy winning artist Mary Youngblood's 2007 performance deep down in the womb of Mother Earth at Moaning Caverns. The turnout was so fantastically large and well-received that I wanted to create an outlet to serve the local area as there is currently none.
I will update this blog with further news once I receive it.
