COMMUNITY DRUM CIRCLE (Rhythmic Alchemy): In this fast paced world it seems as if there is no time to slow down. We jam pack our days meeting the needs of our families, friends, and employers. On the surface many of us move with precision and grace. Inside, however, our minds and bodies have become chaotic, making it difficult to find a sense of balance and peace. Picture a place, a community of women who gather together and encourage each other to share their emotions through the unspoken language of rhythm. A creative space where there is freedom to just ‘be’ along with the invitation to groove to your own beat. Rhythmic Alchemy's vision is to see women experience connection with themselves and others, and to re-establish peace of mind, body and spirit. Rhythm is a gift that every human being has within them. We were introduced to it before we were born in the form of our mother’s heartbeat. Drumming allows your heart to speak through your hands. It provides a means to release stress and tension which promotes inner healing. There is no right or wrong beat. It does not require years of training. You simply show up– come as you are– in whatever mood you are in. For some women, the beginning of personal growth and freedom is just a matter of opening our hearts and remembering the truth of who we are. For others it is the courage to step in to the depth of our hearts and give ourselves permission to feel again. Event

homemade or found instruments, or any other creative instruments
you can think of. Bongo Boy Music School brings all drum and percussion
equipment to your school (enough for up to 150 students). We also

Drum Circles are all about: ****************************************************************************
The spirit and magic of rhythm expressed on drums and percussion instruments cuts through all ages, sexes, religions, races and cultures. "Rhythm", as Gabriel Roth says, "is the mother tongue." Rhythm is a universal language known to every one, even the youngest child, if we can just "remember." So in a very objective, yet beautiful way, an interactive rhythm event puts us all on an equal footing with each other and brings us closer together. The facilitator serves this process by guiding the participants to their highest musical potential. A community drum circle is created, "in the moment" by all the people who participate. Co-operation and collaboration is the basic glue. When we drum together, sharing our spirit in the form of rhythm, it changes our relationships. As we play together, we give ourselves a rhythmical massage and an emotional release. The experience is unique to each person in the circle, and it happens whether we are entraining ourselves into the circle by drumming, or standing outside the circle and listening while tapping our feet and clapping along with the music. There
are many places where drum circles are being used for many purposes,
like.... To make beautiful music together, all we have to do is bring to the circle whatever rhythmical expertise we have to offer, along with the excitement of sharing it with other people. The quality of the music produced in an event like this is not based on the rhythmical expertise of the players, but on the quality of their relationship with the other people in the circle. The result is those magical musical moments where one powerful voice is created out of the many. In those moments, the players stop worrying about keeping time because time, as they know it, has stopped. In it's place is a living breathing entity, expressing timeless joy, passion and release through the power of rhythm. That is the beauty of a community drum circle. -Arthur
