“djembe” drum translates to “everyone gather together in peace.”

“One of the most powerful aspects of drumming and the reason people have done it since the beginning of being human is that it changes people's consciousness. Through rhythmic repetition of ritual sounds, the body, the brain, and the nervous system are energized and transformed. When a group of people play a rhythm for an extended period of time, their brain waves become entrained to the rhythm and they have a shared brain wave state. The longer the drumming goes on, the more powerful the entrainment becomes.” ~ Layne Redmond

Drum circles cultivate sacred spaces where soul-felt conversations occur through rhythmic sounds, natural movements, synchronized heart beats, and conscious breathing. As a community we attune to the Medicine Of Sound, Mother Earth’s Elements, the land, creatures, each other, as well as the beat of something greater than ourselves.
"When you take your drum to a rhythm circle and play it with your community, healing happens. If you come and drum, the healing is compounded because everyone is putting their spirit into their drum, and their hearts are open. You get and give a rhythmical massage that is compounded by the number of people in the circle and the energy they are sharing with each other.” ~ Arthur Hull
Magic happens when we Tune into our natural rhythms together.
We improv’d with several different activities last night but the one that stuck the most was when he played and we all just jammed with him. Everyone enjoyed and it was mellow as we jammed by the fire under the stars together in unified heart beats and rhythms…awe! Jammin’ with Deacon on the Steel Guitar.

I recommend drums at home to all guests who come to my Drum Circles. Rather than punishing a child when they are bad send them to their room with a drum and then see what happens. And…for adults, this is a powerful way to clear out negative inner clutter, emotions, thoughts, and feelings. Adults and Children needs positive outlets for expressing intense emotions and inner tantrums, anger, rage, etc. Let’s bring music and harmony back into our homes. Be creative…pots, pans, trash bins, oh my!
