Mantra Drum Circle for Rain

Join us to drum for rain! We will be chanting sacred mantras as we drum, praying for abundant rain to ease the drought.

All are welcome!

As it is getting darker earlier, starting October 21, the Tuesday evening Drum Circle will take place at the Totem Pole outside the Prayer Room, where there is light. Jetsunma envisioned the Totem Pole as a strong symbol of our place, with the animals, the plants, and the land all in harmony.

The Sunday Drum Circle continues at 1pm at the Guru Rinpoche Statue in the Peace Park.

Please bring any percussion instruments you have - the more the merrier! If you don't have any drums, there may be extra available. Either way, you can chant along with everyone. Seating is limited so we recommend bringing a chair or blanket to sit on.

In the event of inclement weather, we usually drum as long as we can before the storm starts, or wait it out and start a little late. We hold out until the last minute to cancel so if the weather seems iffy, keep an eye on our Facebook page for announcements.

The DC region is currently experiencing moderate to severe drought. Many other regions of the world are also experiencing drought conditions. We will dedicate our prayers to bringing life-giving rain to all who need it!
