What we’re about
This meetup group is devoted to offering a number of different opportunities to be in mindful community with others and connect more deeply with the Great Spirit uniting us all.
Among the many mediums explored in DDC gatherings are the principle one's of drumming, dancing, and seated meditation. Each gathering is unique and could have just one of these elements, or perhaps all of them and more. Ultimately each gathering is an opportunity for the continued exploration, participation, and appreciation of the interplay of rhythm, flow, and stillness. It could be the rhythm and flow of our feet, our voices, and our hands, or it could simply be the rhythm and flow of our breath, arising and settling in the stillness of our Being.
Upcoming events (4+)
See all- Rattlesnake Rock and more!Link visible for attendees
Are you a Rhythm Shaker?
Every Tuesday in July is the time to get your Frame drums or other hand drums ready to: Rattlesnake Rock!
This is a beautifully crafted family of 4 rhythms originally written by Layne Redmond, and rewritten by Layne Redmond, a few times...
Now, after playing these 4 rhythms many times, and updating the language to reflect present usage, and editing again myself, to create interesting fluidity;
I present to you for the month of July:
RATTLESNAKE ROCKThis series utilizes many different stroke combinations as well as ample places to practice your improvisational skills.
PDF's will be provided and sent to you, as well as a recording for your replay
Play along with me live every Tuesday at 7 pm, or later on at your own leisure.
Each week we will focus on one of the rhythms in depth, and each week we will add the next rhythm on,
in a melodic and structured format.
Join in and enjoy, as these rhythms offer a lot of opportunity to be played together or poly rhythmically, shaking the cobwebs from our brains and exercising our fingers!
There are 5 Tuesdays in July, for only 30 dollars! register to get the link now at: rhythmshakerz@gmail.comPlease pay by check or paypal: paypal.me/rhythmshakerz you can also search paypal for me by name if needed: Fern Filner
