AANYONE CAN DRUM!
​Soul Practices drum circles are a combination of shamanic/meditation teachings, free form drumming and community rhythmic events, that include a healing intention for every event!
Whether you have been drumming your whole life or have never picked up a drum before you have the ability to drum in circle with anyone. With a little bit of guidance, even a novice can find harmony and balance within the circle, creating a sense of musical alchemy, even dance!
Soul Practices Drum Circles
Drums have been included in ritual, and ceremony, have been used as communication tools between tribes, as meditation (shamanic journeying) for entertainment and so much more. Drums were made from animal skins being stretched over a frame of some type. Today, there are synthetic drums that have the same if not better sound quality than any animal hide drum.
​
We begin with a simple beat, sometimes moving into one a bit more complicated, ending with a powerful uprising of beats and harmonies. Each one is unique in that there is an element of shamanic healing present, an intention of sending sacred waves out to the universe!
My own drumming experience began with I was very young. I studied drums, then flute as a child. Played the flute through my teenage years, picking the drum back up as I advanced my shamanic studies. Several years ago I made my own drum with a horse hide. It has been with me on many journeys. Today, I use synthetic buffalo drums made by Remo and Cooperman drums. They have excellent sound quality and are cruelty free. I think my animal spirit guides are very happy with that!
​
We will begin each circle with a brief shamanic meditation and introduction and move into the drumming experience. We plan to hold two drum sessions.
​
This is an outdoor gathering so dress accordingly. Bring yoga mat, backjack chair, blanket, drums, rattles, flutes - whatever you need to get comfy and enjoy :) Some chairs and drums available! We also have an outdoor heater.
​
Donation based event - guest facilitators and story tellers are welcome. Please email me if you are interested in sharing a story during our circle. Remember: Bring your drums, rattles, flutes and more. Some drums and rattles are available! Oh and we do dance a bit - so wear comfy shoes!
It is my hope that you will find joy and healing among the circles.
