Ringwood, NJ Event -Full Moon Drum Circle Saturday 5/21

The Algonquin tribe named this May moon the Full Flower Moon. Flowers spring forth in abundance this month. Some Algonquin tribes also knew this full Moon as the Corn Planting Moon or the Milk Moon.  In honor of this moon cycle we will be planting seeds that evening near our sacred circle and giving our “tribe” seeds to take home to plant.  We look forward to seeing you there!

 
Let's Celebrate the Full Flower Moon
with a Drum Circle & Bonfire

on Saturday, May 21st
beginning at 7pm at Reiki Ruth's Retreat
 
R.S.V.P. by May 20th so we won't start without you if you're late! :)  
 
Your $15 per person donation to help cover expenses is greatly appreciated,
we would not be able to continue without your generous participation!

or percussion instrument of your choice.
(Extra drums and rattles will be available. Don't worry if you're not musical, you can't do it wrong!)

The path is rugged in places, so please wear sturdy shoes.

Drumming with others is an ancient practice that people have used for millennia all over the globe to connect, heal, learn, witness and celebrate with each other. It’s only been in the last few hundred years that many people in our modern cultures have stopped connecting in this way. 
  
Drum Circle Facilitator and Mind Key columnist Vera Remes will lead us as we use various forms of vibration, such as simple clapping, drum, and rattle rhythms to create deep relaxation which allows the mind and body to become quiet.  Circle may include group drumming, chanting and breath work which will lead you to gain energized mental clarity, open creative inspiration, and expand your conscious awareness.  There will be elements of meditation and shamanic journeying (meditation for Type A personalities) and the inevitable Reiki share. ;) ;) Carving out this time to practice this form of meditation will deepen your access to relaxation and provide an opportunity for sharing your experiences.
