About this Event
Event Photos

Since the dawn of time, humans have gathered in circle—drumming, singing, praying. It’s more than tradition—it’s remembrance. It’s in our blood. It’s in our bones. It’s who we are.
Each of us carries a drum in our chest: our heartbeat.

In the womb, we were cradled by our mother’s pulse.The drum reconnects us to the heartbeat of the Earth Herself.When we drum together, our hearts synchronize. When we sing together, our spirits dance and remember the ancient language of connection.


🎶 The Songs We Carry

This is a circle of soul—not performance. I hold a warm, playful, yet sacred space to share the songs that have found me over the years—songs of blessing and remembrance from around the world. From the forests of the Amazon to the mountains of Zimbabwe, from Lakota prayer songs to Sanskrit mantras, these melodies are ancient threads that weave us back into wholeness.

They honor the Earth, the Cosmos, our plant and animal kin, and our own radiant spirits.

And these songs come alive when we sing them together


💗 No Experience Needed—Just Heart.

This circle isn’t about being “good” at singing or drumming. It’s about feeling, freeing, and remembering. It’s about the joy of expression, the beauty of togetherness, and the deep nourishment of being seen, heard, and felt. The result is an immense felt sense of belonging, feeling grounded and nourished.

So let us come together, unite our voices, and have fun!

🌀 What to Bring:

You don't need an instrument, I have plenty. If you have your own frame drum or rattle, please bring it.

  • No singing experience is required.
  • No one will be asked to sing alone. All skill (and non-skill!) levels are welcome.

Please note: This is not a djembe-style drum circle. This is a medicine drum circle—hoop/frame drums, rattles, and soft-hearted rhythm. With that made clear, all drums are welcome.
