Call for hosts!!!

In case you hadn't heard, I am having a baby in July. I'd rather be safe than sorry when it comes to knowing what I am up for, so I'm looking for hosts for the Fox Valley Drum Circle for the second half of 2009.

If you would be interested in hosting the Fox Valley Drum Circle, please let me know. As always, if you host, you are welcome to define rules for that gathering. Our regular schedule of the third Saturday would mean the following dates:

July 18
August 15
September 19
October 17

These can be flexible, if another date would work better...just let me know and we'll see what we can do. In the meantime...I hope to see you at Solstice!

Summer drums!

"Rhythm is the basis of life, not steady forward progress. The forces of creation, destruction, and preservation have a whirling, dynamic interaction.” ~ Kabbalah

Within a single round, we experience this...someone begins a beat, others join in, build, crest...sometimes it ends abruptly and sometimes it is preserved and fades out naturally....only to begin again with a new base. Our next drum circle will be on Summer Solstice...the longest day of the year. I hope to see you at Solstice!

THE DETAILS:

WHEN: Saturday, June 20th
TIME: 6:00 - 10:00 PM
WHERE: Melton House in Aurora - ask for the address/map if you need it
WHAT: potluck supper and drum circle

Drumming in May

“Life is the sacred mystery singing to itself, dancing to its drum, telling tales, improvising, playing” ~ author unknown

There's this funny thing about drum circle...I always stress out about getting ready and wonder why we do this every month, and then we DRUM, and I can't imagine NOT drumming every month! I hope you can join us this May!

THE DETAILS:

WHEN: Saturday, May16th
TIME: 6:00 - 10:00 PM
WHERE: Melton House in Aurora - ask for the address/map if you need it
WHAT: potluck supper and drum circle - We'll make a big salad with grilled chicken on the side, and there's cheesecake calling!
