Suddenly, there I was in the year 2022.
And WOW!!!
It was Morning…The Sun beginning to rise.
The musicians took their places and began to play
as The Villagers slowly joined together by the sea, facing East...
Welcome!
Blessed, Peaceful Day to You!
To all current "Drum Circlers", Thank You for contributing your energies, enhancing the joys of Drum Circle Experiences everywhere. To those of you who have not, as yet, experienced a "Circle", we'd like to familiarize you a bit with some of its fundamentals,
as well as its attributes of well-being.
What a Drum Circle is: A gathering of people "playing" together musically, (generally, gathered together in the configuration of a circle). We create a common, harmonic, musical rhythm, and seek to intentionally contribute and build upon "the good that it feels". Drums are THE primary instrument. Other instruments are often brought to the Circle, as well. Some folks dance. Some folks sing & clap, etc. There is laughter there, and "lots of smiles" as we summon our peace elations from within, and seek to open and receive a release in the delight of replacing that which stresses. All together, there's a Joy that's reached-for by the community who gathers; and, an energy of encouragement toward the letting go of that which no longer positively serves. Of our many affirming goals, gaining a greater confidence to express our often dormant, nobler inhibitions of the heart, seems to stand out as a united and consistent focus of our circle collectives.
Each circle can feel different depending on the diversity of those gathered; depending upon the possible theme & purpose within the benevolent passions of the group; depending upon The Circle's facilitator & guides; and, upon the myriad influential energies that each of us consciously, and subconsciously carry as we "participate our play" within the unique environments of each circle gathering .
For those of you who have, indeed, had at least one Drum Circle experience "under your belt", we say, "Congratulations!". Allowing yourself to be engulfed by these rhythms & energies that are potentially able to uplift the Spirit, is a tribute to your willingness to experiment with and delve into a simple method that may help to assist your efforts toward more positive expansion within your own personal Life Journey. And, it is "a willingness to do so" that forms the initial step in consciousness; the seed necessary toward realizing its inherent liberating and unifying sense of self awareness, autonomy & community, all at once.
The "Legend of Our Best Selves" is the ever unfolding journey of our personal realities gnawing & reaching outward from our deep intrinsic visions of who we are. These are our personal evolving realities seeking to be acknowledged, born and unveiled toward our becoming the increasingly clearer manifestations of our most kind & most heartfelt desires of "Being-ness"- our best selves.
It is the tickling, growing sense of perfection of the familiar Loving Person that we may sense to be within ourselves, who seeks to harmonically merge within our perceptions, and whose potentials inevitably surface more & more from out of our inner depths out into a more healthy waking reality...should we desire to allow this, prompting growth, to "become".
We at LDC hold that the positive energy inherent in every Individual's Unique Inner Rhythm (One's Intrinsic Rhythm of Soul or existence) joined to the positive collective energies of a drumming Community of like purpose, can help to pulse a new, ever more joyful, and perpetually more realized Self and Community forward!
Blessings.
peace...b U

The INTENT:
Freedom, Joy, Empowerment...
these and all other Healing, Virtuous Components of LOVE!
Legend Drum Circles seeks to help to release our personal constrictions by creating a non-judgmental “nest” for free & moral expression and camaraderie. And although we offer facilitations to assist this basic process, it is the rhythm of the drums that do the work, coupled with the energy inherent within the collective intent of all who gather.
All who "play" within the circle eventually become the true, self-realized facilitators of their own freedoms of expression, empowerment, Joy, fun, therapy, healing, and connection with others.
Legend Drum Circles has been hoonored to service Addiction Clinics, Nursing Homes (and their various levels of community), public and private primary and secondary schools, universities, special events, and corporate motivational team building workshops and seminars...
all toward this intent.
Blessings & Good Vibrations,
from
The Legend Drum Circles Family
