We had our bi-monthly drum circle tonight, and the drumming was so powerful that the dancers were moving to the rhythm set by the drummers, especially our friend Mike.I was dripping with sweat and moving past the point where I didn't think I could. The more I sweated, the more I felt cleansed. Dancing is such a comprehensive form of movement, and set to live African drums, it connects us to our tribal heritage.
A tribal way of living was based on community, co-parenting, prayer and ritual for all the food we ate or killed to eat and a sense of being part of something greater than ourselves that would protect us and keep us safe.
Now we factory farm our animals without asking their permission, eat fast food and judge our worthiness by how much we get done each day and how little we connect with one another.
You can go on the greatest diet in the world; have you ever thought about how we digest our lives?
If you've never drummed before, no worries. Most drum circles are open to all levels; all you have to do is go on www.meetup.com and search for a drum circle in your area. It's a way to connect with people in a really healthy environment; drum and dance is the ultimate high. Hmmm, and we also served a seeded watermelon:)
