Express yourself at our artfully facilitated drum, music,
and dance circle!
DRUMS and MUSIC
You are encouraged to bring your own drum, shakers, or
melodic instruments such as guitar or uke. We have plenty of drums to share –
however, you must RSVP if you want us to bring one for you!
Remember, we all have music and rhythm within. The
“heartbeat” is the most ancient and sacred rhythm of all.
In this Circle you will experience:
• Good listening practices and making space for music to
happen
• Techniques for “Jamming” with other drummers and music
makers
• Simple games for interacting (verbally, non-verbally,
musically, etc.)
• An enhanced feeling of musical comprehension as you
deepen your practice
SONG and CHANT
Experience toning, chanting, singing. We will share songs
and chants from American oral tradition, earth-spirit circles, fire family,
indigenous cultures, and original creations by Dakini, Heather and Tymn. Each
night we will choose a few songs to learn together. These songs will be woven
into the drum and dance parts of the night as well.
In this trusting Circle we:
• Find resonance with each other and listen with our
hearts
• Encourage others to share their voices and make space
for them
• Take risks and speak with integrity
• Tap into our own innate Wisdom
SACRED DANCE
Dance is an integral part of our shared experience,
expressing the rhythm, music, and songs that we create through our bodies using
the unspoken language of movement. We draw from specific traditions around the
world, from a variety of cultures and sacred path work. Each evening will focus
on a few easy-to-learn dance/movement techniques, to incorporate into your
personal expressions.
In this supportive Circle we:
• Develop a strong self-awareness in body, mind and
spirit
• Incorporate yogic and shamanic ‘movement tools’ for
personal growth and expression
• Further explore authentic movement with
witness/reflection exercises
• Express ourselves fully, letting our own Light shine
from within.
Cost: $5 - $15 sliding scale
