Weekly Drum Circles
 Have you ever experienced stress? If you answered yes, then may
we suggest that you come to a Drumming Circle where you can pound and scream along with
a group of crazy people
just like yourself? The release is phenomenal! It's as if you
were packing up your tension and troubles and sending them off with the
sound waves. Creating music with drums is an active form of
meditation. Often in the drum trance state-of-mind questions are
answered, problems are solved, and clarity is achieved because the thinking
(left) brain is put on hold and we allow our intuitive (right) brain to rule
for a little while. A recent study even suggests an increase in
cancer-fighting immunities in people participating in group
drumming.
 Drumming is
good for your spirit -- expressing yourself in a free-form, non-judgmental,
improvisational environment like a drum circle can allow you to tap into a
very strong spiritual connections. It's primitive. It's
basic. It's part of us.
The power and magic of
drumming circles is growing and is a way to communicate what goes beyond words or
explanations.
The intent
of our circles is first and foremost to create safe space, and to give permission to find
and honor the rhythms that lie within each of us. The focus is play, which is defined as
having no agenda, and the circles are not so much a teaching as an experience.

THE TEACHINGS OF THE EAST
GATEWAY TO THE SPIRIT
A
SEVEN WEEK CONTINUATION COURSE IN THE TEACHINGS OF THE ANCIENT
WISDOMS OF THE SACRED CIRCLE
The East
is the element of Fire, will, the spring and a place of new
beginnings. The East brings us the gifts of the child, teaching
us to be animated, joyful, and spontaneous. We learn to live
each day wholehearted and leave each day clutter free. In these
two-hour sessions, we will study and experience the ancient
wheels of Native American and of other cultures. Together, we
will uncover and recover these gifts:
-
Transforming anger into passion
-
Light, beginnings, innocence, joy, trust and hope
-
The courage of the warrior
-
Illumination and vulnerability
-
The ability to focus in the present
-
Trust in our own vision
-
The ability to see clearly through complex situations
-
Beautiful speech
-
Concentration
-
Will and willingness – shifting from “I want/I need” to I
will
-
Devotion to the service of others
To be held
on seven consecutive Tuesday evenings from 7-9 pm
beginning April 3rd, 2012.
There is a suggested donation
of $150 for the series or $22 per class. No one will be turned
away who is willing to exchange time, talent or treasure (please
call or email Patrick to make arrangements).
Course
taught by Patrick Pinson, M.A., of Mingo heritage and owner of
Cedar Mountain Drums. He teaches from a place of knowing,
integrating gestalt, play, years of experience on the Red Road
