This is a beautiful poem Ariadna wrote, thank you!
People from near and far.
Gather around in a delineated circle.
Soft lights illuminate their hands.
Lively tapping on indigenous drums.
Colorful, neutral and of diverse shapes.
Blended origins sharing one space.
David leads the pace, from center stage.
Creatively crafting avid tunes.
High and low, fast and slow.
Left and right, goes the tempo.
Waves of love dance and repair.
As happy music fills-up the air.
Crystal bowls heavenly vibrations.
Blissfully attuning their core.
Many hearts drumming in rhythm.
Echoing the circle's rapport.
Contagious healing energy flows everywhere.
According with this meditative song.
Even the flute sings along.
Mixed sounds and harmonious souls.
Collectively playing their roles.
Everyone present feels grateful.
Blessed beyond, for this moment of unity.
Sacred and rare, truly one of a kind.
In their essence remains divine.

I awoke from a dream last night that gave me a new perspective.
In my dream, I was angry...I began drumming to release the anger that I didn't even know I was still holding on to. The drumming went on for a while until my racing heartbeat awakened me.... I felt lighter.
Drumming was somehow the language that let my body "shout out” the things I couldn’t find the words to express.
Drumming is usually a meditative and joyful activity for me, but I realized that drumming is also a powerful way to release emotions and shift feelings that no longer serve me.
Recently I attended a drum circle from Toby Christensen, and he said, we can “give back to mother earth” the things that we are not, by drumming whatever we want to let go of back into the earth... and then let the earth’s heartbeat vibration fill us up again, with the real “genius” of who we want to be.
In my Health Rhythm training with Christine Stevens, we worked on “drumming out” how we feel in the moment.
