Drum Circle
Why Drum?--
It's fun. It's easy. It relieves stress. It reconnects us with our deeper selves. It uplifts us and enhances self esteem. It focuses us and increases intuition. It eradicates language and age barriers. It's the ultimate community builder. The list goes on. ~~All One Tribe

Grab your drums, rattles and rain sticks. Join the fun and come and play with us!
We have some extra drums and rattles for those who don't have their own instruments, as well as our "Mother" drum.
Our drum circle began in January 2002 and happened every month without exception. (Well, once in all this time. We were away and the kids forgot to open the place up for the facilitator so they drummed in the backyard. Oops.) We recently took a short hiatus as we made our move to Central Point, OR. The circle is now open again.
We choose to start the circle for a couple reasons. First, to build community. Next, is to celebrate and play. As adults, we don't play enough. And I guess we need some new playmates! So, the focus of the circle is celebration and play. In this way, it can be as much a spiritual circle or healing circle as you choose. When we allow ourselves time to relax, de-stress and enjoy life, we can hear Spirit talking to us and allow space for healing to happen when we need it. Sometimes it's just FUN time.
We don't have any agenda for the circle. You choose your own agenda. The only format we have for the circle is that we always begin with a heart beat rhythm to ground and relax and bring everyone into sync. Then we move on to synchronized rhythms - one person starts and everyone follows. Then... we move to "built rhythms". This is where one person starts a rhythm and everyone else joins in where there is space, playing "their own song". Okay, so this sounds like a classroom full of kindergartners with pots and pans, but soon the rhythms sync and the energy builds and we can soar. This is the really fun part!
Of course, we always have a round of the Goddesses on the Mother Drum as well as a Warrior round.
Weather and neighbors permitting we host the circle outside in our yard.
This is an open circle and anyone can join us. Also, please feel free to come and go as your schedule requires during the circle. We are not offended if you come late or leave early. Just come and have FUN!
We do not charge for the drum circle or take love offerings. This is our give back to the community for all that Spirit has provided for us. Snacks to share are always welcome if you wish to contribute.
We do ask that you RSVP if you plan on attending one of our drum circle as our indoor space is limited. Please e-mail Debbie.
We will not be hosting regular circles this winter. So, don't forget to subscribe to our FREE newsletter to receive a list for local events and drum circles.
