Join us for a seasonal outdoor drumming circle and fire ceremony under the full moon. Drumming draws our personal energies into a powerful unified communal prayer. The drum has the ability to put us in touch with our own natural rhythms; the circle helps draw individual energies together. The beat of the drum represents our heart as we become grounded and taken to a place deep inside where we are keenly aware of our unified mind and body and the connection between the two. Drumming is a time-honored method of healing which helps us release tension, lift stress, dispel negative feelings, and restore energy.

Through the fire ceremony, we reconnect our oneness with the Divine Universe. During this drumming circle, we will bring a natural object, e.g. a stick, a feather, and blow our intention into the fire for whatever wants to be released or healed. With fire, we release what no longer serves as useful and reclaim the energy of a former behavior pattern with a new purpose. Bring a chair and/or blanket.

Hosted by Omni Drummers.

In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony may be cancelled.
