SpiritDrum

April 23, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm

WHAT:  SpiritDrum

WHEN:  Every 4th Saturday monthly, 7:00pm to 9:00pm

WHERE:  Common Street Spiritual Center, 13 Common Street, Natick MA, 3rd floor

HOW MUCH:  $10 per person (cash/check/venmo/paypal)

WHO / WHY:  SpiritDrum is a unique gathering that combines life-affirming ritual with meditative drumming, sacred chanting and sound exploration for an overall intention of deepening connection between the Earth-mother and our inner selves.  Partly facilitated, partly free-form, SpiritDrum creates an intimate space which allows us to express our spiritual aspirations through the vibrations of our drums and voices.  SpiritDrum is unlike a typical drum circle — it is quieter, more contemplative and focused on healing through the medium of sound. For that reason, we ask two things: please leave large drums (such as djembes) at home, and please arrive before 7pm to minimize disruptions once the evening’s energy begins to flow.  Extra drums will be provided for sharing, but you are encouraged to bring smaller drums such as frame drums, doumbeks, bongos and other instruments like rattles, singing bowls, chimes, didgeridoos and flutes.  No prior experience is necessary.  Young people must be able to maintain focus for the full two hours.  Located on the 3rd level in the choir room.  Come in through the School Street entrance.
