‘Life Alive is a vibrant and inclusive gathering where people of all ages and backgrounds come together to share a love of music and rhythm. This will be a special edition of ‘Life Alive’ as part of the Common Street Spiritual Center’s Pause Retreat weekend!

This event provides a fun and relaxed atmosphere where people can connect, let loose, and express themselves through music. Whether you’re a seasoned drummer or just looking to try something new, Life Alive is the perfect opportunity to connect with others and make some soulful sounds!

‘Life Alive’ will celebrate expressing through the human body with the Universal language that is music and movement. We will open with a guided meditation and close with a short song/sound bath.

In between will be a freestyle drum circle. Anyone can start a rhythm, the group will improvise around that rhythm until it naturally concludes, and then a new rhythm can arise. It is also not just open to drummers! Dancers! During the freestyle portion, being conscious of the space you are in and those around you, feel free to get up and move! Shake, dance, stretch, flow… feel free to move to the rhythm and express through your movement.

Drum circle will be after dinner from 7:30-9:30pm in the Sanctuary.

There will be a limited number of drums and percussion items available for borrowing at

the circle, but if you have an instrument/instruments, please bring yours along.

Contact Amanda Short if you are interested in more details about the whole weekend. She is coordinating the Pause Retreat and Jason is honored to be a part of the programing for this weekend filled with food, fun, and community!
