Circles of Rhythm has been in business offering drum circle programs for over 14 years. In the last two we have been experiencing a marked increase in attendance, both in our Workplace and Community programs. What is going on? What is it about group drumming that is attracting so much attention?

In the past few years I have noticed that people everywhere are feeling a deepening low-grade anxiety. This seems to come from a sense of uncertainty in the midst of major change in the world. Be it economic, scientific, environmental, religions or political, the stauts quo is bring challenged and some actually collapsing. The Earth herself is erupting with an unprecedented number of volcanoes, tsunamis, earthquakes and floods. Our personal beliefs about relationships, family, physical health issues, and religious/spiritual beliefs are being questioned and shifting. Stress is up in our financial, health, relationship and work lives.

As one of the most brilliant people on the planet today, Barbara Marks Hubbard says:
“We are moving into the golden age of humanity, birthing a New Human and a New Earth. This comes with its birthing pains.”
Along with this anxiety comes a yearning for a “safe house on the hill”; a place where you can come in from the cold to feel safe, comfortable, grounded, and welcome just as you are. Churches used to do this for people but many are turning away from the traditional religion. In today’s world there are many “monks without monasteries” looking for a meaning-full places to play, re-fuel and rest. Soul-based Drum Circles are now fulfilling this soul-need.

They are also helping people heal their tender hearts, dis-eased bodies and cluttered minds. Drumming in community with instruments from around the world acts as a metaphor for the kind of world we are evolving toward. Faith in our future is stregnthened, and our trust in life is re-custructed. People come in with anxiety, worry, fear and doubt, and walk away with release, gratitude, joy, peace and connection. Meaningful connections and lifetime friends are made. Whether it be a community of workplace workshop, the same benefits arise.

So, “Why Group Drumming?” Because drum circles are bringing people what they really need right now in this time of accelerated growth and change; A meaningful experience of unconditional love and joy, a place where good wholesome people gather to play, laugh, heal, grow and support each other.

We will continue to commit to this mission, offering our SOUL-FULL Circles of Rhythm programs! Whether in the form of:

~Weekly Drum/Meditation Circles

~Monthly Healing Circles

~Private Corporate and Social Events

~Rhythm Cafe music and magic events

We will offer as many as my team can manage in our busy schedules. This is our service to humanity and our contribution to the evolution of the planet herself at this time. We are all so blessed to be alive at this remarkable time! See you in a drum circle soon! Bless your hearts, Judy

November 9, 2011 Brad C Carrigan –

Visionary 2012 author / speaker, spiritual emissary – Brad Carrigan – will share deeper insights into humanity’s ancient journey, spiritual ascent, and civilization on the brink of 2012 – through an informative “2012 Enlightened presentation – based on his book and film – 2012 ENLIGHTENED.

Much has been said about the year 2012 – by the world’s indigenous peoples – top scientists, and great prophets like Edgar Cayce and Nostradamus – with many predicting biblical Armageddon and world cataclysms caused by solar maximum storms, and the coming orbit of the dwarf star constellation “Planet Nibiru”.

2012 is also seen as the time of – Great Revealing – where anti-Christ and anti-evolutionary forces of the Illuminati, secret societies, religious and Government corruption are exposed, allowing the spiritual and physical transformation of the New Spiritual Age of peace, and enlightenment to manifest – beyond 2012.

2012 ENLIGHTENED encompasses and creates inspiring and beautiful insights into our ancient journey of spiritual ascent— up to and beyond modern times. Brad will share information that masterfully merges the ancient knowledge and wisdom of the past, the 2012 transformation period, and the evolution of the spirit into a deep; but easy to understand; bridge to the coming Golden Age and into the spiritual plane of the collective light consciousness.

Brad brings a lifetime of deep spiritual insight to examining this phenomena, including living and studying many aspects of spiritualism and the ancient metaphysical sciences in India, as well as Indian devotional music in the Sanskrit, Hindi and Marathi languages.
