DRUM CIRCLE
1st Thursday, Monthly at 7:00 p.m.
Every Month
in St. James “Well-Being Place”
What to Expect:
· We open the circle with introductions and brief sharing (optional).
· Drum and sing repetitive chants in English and Ojibwe.
· Binders of songs are available to share.
· As time allows each person may choose a song.
· Simple songs repeated allow then to sink into our heart as a prayer of joy,
thanksgiving or meditation.
· The drum beat is simple, echoing our own heartbeat and the heartbeat of
Mother Earth encircling us all in unity.
What Is Needed?
· There is no need for a drum or drumming experience.
· There is no need for a wonderful voice. Just bring the voice with which the Creator blessed you.
· Come with an open heart.
· Trust that Spirit, the Creator and drum will take care of everything else.
