DRUMZ HOLIDAY COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE is scheduled for December 12th from 7:30pm-9:30pm! All are welcome! We will have refreshments and you are welcome to join us. Our space is somewhat small and the unless the weather totally surprises us and it's warm and beautiful out ( and those of us who call Austin home know this is totally within the realm of possibility on December 12th!), our circle will have to be indoors for this evening of drumming and community! We will make it work! Bring your own drums....there will be rhythm instruments to share! We will mostly free jam but I will also teach a rhythm or two during this circle just to give everyone the opportunity to experience the joy of the West African music when the community plays these beautifully orchestrated compositions together! Its a deeply moving joy to play this traditional music together!See you on the 12th!</h4>

Once in a blue moon I get what I perceive to be a really great idea out of the "blue" ( as it were!) and I act on it pronto! This is one of those!Since this rare happening ( two full moons in ONE month) is occuring on August 31st, it seemed like the thing to do in honor of Earth and her amazing and miraculous events, this being just one of SO MANY! So this evening will be A Ritual/Celebration in honor of Mother Earth and a Drum Circle at the same time! Please come if you can and bring assorted rhythm instruments and drums ( some will be provided, though we can't use DRUMZ merchandise for this circle ,which will be out front in the parking lot next to Kerbey Lane Cafe's front yard!). We will have some chairs but please bring your own if you have them as we may not have enough!<br />
Hoping to see many of you there As we collectively give gratitude to Mother Earth for this amazing and rare event and for all her awesome and life sustaining gifts to us! <br />

Hello family and friends,<br />
Please join us if you can for the FIRST ANNUAL SUMMER SOLSTICE/RECONNECTING WITH EARTH CELEBRATION at ALMA DE MUJER in Austin, Texas honoring the Summer Solstice and our deep Connection to the Earth and each other and all things on June 23rd, Saturday, from 1pm-10:30at Alma de Mujer , a lovely retreat center conveniently located on 13621 FM 2769 in Austin( Lake Travis area) Cost: $30 per person includes workshops and events all afternoon (though a love offering for Moussa Diabate's Drum workshop and Dance Workshop and Omid's "Creative Instincts" presentation is invited or just come to the potluck and Community Drum Circle for $15 that evening for $15. Children under 12 are free!). You are also invited to spend the night at ALma de Mujer in a room in one of their comfortable cabins and enjoy a Continental Breakfast the next morning for $50 per person. Camping is also an option! Please call Sherry at 512-453-9090 for more information or to register or email her at :sdrumz@austin.rr.com. Registration in advance is recommended though spontaneous in the moment participation is also welcome! <br />
<br />
One of the ways we can access all the creative and powerful resources and solutions we hold for the the current challenges facing our planet and humanity and facilitate the transition from this Industrial Growth Society to a healthy, cooperative, and life-sustaining society, is to come together and commit ourselves to a common intent for our common fate. This is the nature of synergy! As we gather together and experience the age old creative pathways of rhythm, song,movement, art, and nature we weave new connections which bring new possibilities and new responses into play and we are sustained and nurtured by currents of power larger than our own! This power is a form of GRACE and empowers us to draw on vast powers of life beyond our individual strengths and we learn about what can happen through us when we open to these possibilities and act with others on behalf of our world! <br />
<br />
Please feel free to pass this invitation on to your families and friends! A complete schedule of the events can be found on my website at: www.drumzaustin.com under the "HAPPENING" category! I look forward to seeing you on the 23rd...spend the night if you can!<br />

Our Course Guide Book includes provocative and informative readings, interviews, and articles by John Muir, Thomas Berry, Rachel Carsen, John Seed, Joanna Macy, Arne Naess, Brian Swimme, Starhawk, Wendell Berry, Bill Plotkin and many more!<br /><br />These programs are designed to encourage discussions that clarify personal values and attitudes, consensus is not the goal, and the group should not seek to reach agreement at the expense of diversity of opinion. As in a drum circle, every unique and individual voice is important and valued in these discussions and everyone's participation is encouraged and supported and welcomed! Each participant will receive a course book and the the discussions each week are based on our readings from the course book. The book is filled with powerful and deeply moving writings by leading authors and guides including naturalists, scientists, theologians, philosophers, and psychologists.<br />The small group discussion experience provides a unique framework for exploring personal values, attitudes, and habits while addressing the relevant issues of our times. All of these programs will be participant-led series of discussions held over a six week period. We will be meeting for an hour and a half each week for lively and often deeply heartfelt, always meaningful, discussions based on the readings included in the discussion guide. Everyone is invited to bring their own personal experience and critical thinking to the process! Each week we will close with a 30 minute Drum Circle, our closing rhythm to solidify and empower our group intention for our Earth.<br /><br />Over the past 16 years, over 130,000 people have participated in NWEI programs, exploring ways in which citizens can make a difference in their communities. This course, Reconnecting with Earth, will be the first of several six week discussion sessions at DRUMZ and I am very excited to move DRUMZ in the direction of being a community center for DRUMMING AND DIALOG pertaining to issues of global importance and creating an environment to help empower people to make a difference in their own lives and in the world.<br /><br />COST: $15 for the Course Guide Booklet ( yours to keep)<br /> $10 per evening for Drum Circle & the space ( all instruments provided or bring your own drum)<br /> Dialog and course is FREE!<br />Total: $75 for Six Weeks<br /><br />I am excited about this opportunity to bring these powerful and deeply inspiring courses to the Austin Community and I look forward to an expanded path for DRUMZ as a community center to promote change and participate in a conscious evolution on our wondrous planet Earth!<br /><br />With peace and gratitude,<br /><br />SherrySherryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13056834986234249841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082765.post-59407328548584269302010-07-04T13:58:00.002-05:002010-07-04T14:03:07.905-05:00The Candlelight Vigil for the Conscious HEaling of our Gulf is happening this Saturday evening July 10th,at 8pm at Wooldridge Square at the corner of 9th Street and Gauadalupe right in downtown in the little park across from our Courthouse!

Group drumming inspires us to let go of the barriers we create between ourselves and others and join in as ONE DRUM to create the community voice, while at the same time maintaining the integrity and beauty of our own individual, powerful voices! Everyone's voice is honored and welcomed in this circle! Bring your open heart, your dancin' hands and feet, and join us!
