Special Guest :  Mark Stone  Topic Native American Drumming and Spirituality - August 9th 

Drum Circle at Piedmont UU Church. This week there will be a special guest - Mark Stone will present a class on Native American Drumming and Spirituality. 
Who's Mark Stone, you may ask? Check out his website at http://www.stonebystone.com/news.htm .

Mark Stone has prepared a brief handout on Native American Drumming with a more spiritual focus.  We will learn differences between N.A. drumming (vs other forms) and provide a light spirituality to more fully understand the meaning and purpose of drumming. 

For more information on this see the following two books by Russell Buddy Helm: "Drumming the Spirit to Life" and "The Way of the Drum".


Drum Circle Information

I co - lead a drum Circle the 2nd Friday of the month at 7:30 pm.  The drum circle is located at the Piedmont Unitarian Universalist Church (www.puuc.org).  It is a social time where one can drum, talk. eat and share something of themselves.  

The first one was a workshop in Introduction to drumming.  It gave us a base for drumming and helped establish how to play well in a group.  Second Drum Circle was a social time of storytelling and teaching drumming.  The third drum 
circle was still more teaching and socializing.  The amount of rhythms we have learned and played help to establish a good base. The group is starting to play well and is forming friendships and connection through music.  The fourth session was interesting.  We experimented with soul singing and dance as well as refreshing what we have learned.   

No one has to be a expert drummer. I want to encourage everyone to come drum no matter what ability.  All you have to have is a desire to drum and a snack to much on.  Come feel the rhythm of life and drum with us.  You are invited.
