In
our workshops we do not normally employ the use of Drum Circles. The
teachers that are present and experienced in traditional drumming
and singing usually provide our drumming. We do not engage in the
social type of drumming and prefer to stress the sacredness of song
and music. However, if this is truly a need or desire we can teach
in this environment and may offer another element to an established
drum circle.
Please understand that this is no criticism of drum circles and their
intent just a personal reflection and understanding of the sacredness
of the drum and of songs.
