We did two drum circle facilitations this weekend and it was fabulous. Hot, but fabulous.

The first was in a local park, McGough Nature Park in Largo, and there were over thirty people there. Barry did a great job keeping everyone engaged and drumming. He's getting very very good at this! It was about 90 degrees on Saturday night and they light a fire to help keep the bugs away so needless to say, we were all soaking wet by the time we finished. There were a lot of families there and everyone seemed to enjoy it.

The second was a special musical event given by a sect called the Brahma Kumaris. They are a religious sect based in India and they believe that the world can be changed and cured with thoughts and meditations on peace, kindness, patience and love. Sounds good to me. It is run by an adminitration of women who are like yogis or swamis and they travel the world teaching meditation practices and speaking about peace. They are very beautiful. Barry and Fred Johnson, a local musician extraordinaire did a couple of drum and voice pieces and then I played the Native American flute to accompany the meditation. After that, we went to Hyde Park Village, just down the street, and Barry facilitated the drum circle that was hosted by the Brahma Kumaris. It absolutely rocked! The folks there were very into it, drummed magnificently and there were a couple of people who danced to the drumming to complete the scene. High energy and LOTS of fun! Again, it was over 90 degrees and we were all drenched! It was a great day altogether!

Cheers!
