We gathered, we heard, and we drummed!
Nine women joined together Monday night to become acquainted with the drumming Rhythms of the World.
In preparation for the Women's Drum Circle beginning Sunday, October 11, 2009 in Jax Beach and held on the lawn of the Renaissance Healing Center,
(http://www.renaissancehealingcenter.com/) I held a Basic Drum Lesson Session for those women who expressed an interest in learning a bit about drumming prior to the start of the Circle.
We had a great time using Christine Stevens, Healing Drum Kit CDs exploring the Rhythms of Life, Spirit, and the World. (www.ubdrumcircles.com)
The energy and music emanating and swirling about our circle, lifted us up, up, and away. Away from the pressures of daily life, away from individual stresses, away from health issues, and into a world of rhythm, movement, and spiritual connectedness.
This night we experienced The Rhythms of Life - Walking, Skipping, Heartbeat, Laughing, Resting, etc. AND The Rhythms of the World -- We traveled from Japan to India, From Africa to Cuba and we danced in the parades playing many world rhythms including the Samba and the Rumba. Oh, what a night!
As the drum beats slowed and the rhythm became softer and the evening came to a close, we all knew we wanted to gather again, drum even more, and share in this wonderful experience.
My dear husband, Frank, returned to a house with the walls expanding with music and beaming with the energy of this group of women -- I believe he is proud of all of us and secretly wished it was open to men :) ! He snapped a few of these pictures so we could capture the moment visually. Thanks Babe! We are all marching to our own drum beat! Join us!
Our group consisted of Barbara King-Hall, Donna Christensen, Rudell Kopp, Mary Howell, Francine Smith, Lynn Curtain, Bonita Sheffield, Abby Vega, and little ole me!
Be sure to join us (no experience necessary) at the first 10/11/09 Women's Drum Circle. See right column of blog for more information or just give me a call 904-334-5290.
Remember, we all have rhythm. The Mother of All Rhythms - the heartbeat.
If you have a heartbeat, you have rhythm. Keep it going.
Have an 'upbeat' day everyone!
