We had the most beautiful drum circle last night. It was so grounding I forgot to take a couple of photos, so I'm sharing Rosie's post. There are many lovely comments on this post which don't come across on the 'share' so please visit her page Labyrinth of Nurture and take a look. And come and join us on the next drumming evening which will be on Monday 1st June xx
Last nights drum circle was lovely, medicine I needed as much as anyone as I navigate some bumps in the road
Life is bumpy, if it were straight and flat how bored we'd all be.
It's no use wishing for something else, or that this bit will all hurry away quick or even what happened that you landed here.
It's how you respond, what you reflect back to the world and the bits you pick out of the present moment.
Not that you don't sit with the harder feelings in life, I hesitate to call them 'negative' feelings because I feel that we learn the most as we sit with and move through those big ones grief, fear, anger, sadness.
Do you notice the sun dappling the ground as it shines through trees, the feel of the breeze on your face, the colours of nature, the song of birds.
I think in our rawest moments are when those come into sharper focus. To remind us of the joy to come maybe, like a warm day as winter bites hardest or a cool breeze when your wilting on a hot summer day.
So drumming last night, connecting with others, drumming together, allowing our own rhythms to mix with others and see how it all fits so perfectly, reminded me of just this.
And morning words from Alan Watts just underlined all that.
Drum medicine for me is so very important and I know for those that join me regularly feel that too.
