Nurture your spirit through rhythm and meditation. 

Based on a blend of traditions, Spirit Circle Drumming draws on our most ancient roots to raise group energy in a playful and joyful way. No experience is necessary!  

We begin with a ceremony to create sacred space, a safe place for us to fully open our hearts.  Each round will start with a chant or Native American style flute song.  Participants join in playing a variety of drums or rhythm instruments.  At the end of the final round, there will be a few moments of silent meditation, taking in all the energy that was raised and then we will send it out as prayers and blessings. The energy will then be grounded. This is a safe place to connect with your deepest wisdom, honor your inner guidance and create more love and light for yourself and the universe.  You are welcome to bring your own drums, rattles, or rhythm instruments.

A limited number of shared instruments will be available.

THIS EVENT WILL BE HELD AT THE CABIN at Spring Valley Nature Center in Schaumburg, IL. RSVP to receive detailed directions.

As with all our events, donations will be welcomed. Suggested donation: $ 30. Feel welcomed to bring a healthy snack item to share and enjoy after the circle. Bring a non-alcohol drink to enjoy. Water and tea will be provided.
