About The Event
The Full Moon ceremony symbolizes the end of a chapter, shining the light on the things we no longer need to hold on to and illuminating the emergence of our essential being, calling, passions.
Drum circles can create a community spirit and a sense of belonging within a group of folks. Everyone participating becomes an important part of the dynamic and adds their way, enhancing the overall rhythms and sound of the songs. In this collective rhythm, each member becomes connected until essentially there is the sense that all are one. The experience illustrates that the whole is greater than separate parts, or, in this case, all the individual drummers and, as a result, each drummer can experience the joy of working together with others to create a powerful and entrancing sound experience that fills the space and the soul.
But what does this work with rhythm have to do with our world today? Learning in rhythm is a good training for life, complete with its unpredictability and chaos. The rhythm in the sacred circle reflects our life. We encounter the same difficulties: trying too hard, needing to be perfect, fear of making mistakes. As we find our own way in circle we can relax some of these habits of mind and open to our joy that comes from deep within. It is a process, a journey, an exploration.
Drumming connects us to the rhythms of earth and grounds our intentions.
The drum circle is a sacred ceremony of honoring all relatives ~ honoring the wisdom of the four directions and the nature of the four elements, the four seasons. For many of us who walk planet earth today, we have become disconnected to mother earth, the cycles of the seasons and the rhythm of our natural world.
As many of us awaken to a desire, coming from deep within, to live a more harmonious life, we seek rituals, ceremonies and circles that create the space for us to connect. The drum ceremonies provide us with an opportunity to experience sacred space.
