Last week, I had the honor of co-leading my first drumming circle. I’ve been feeling lit up and full-hearted ever since. Being part of a heart-centered community and holding space for ceremony truly makes my heart sing.
At the same time, stepping into the spotlight feels deeply vulnerable. But I know, without a doubt, that this is my path forward.
I shared a chant I recently learned from Walking Crow (see video). Just before I began, I felt my throat tightening, like it wanted to close. In that moment, I reminded myself: I’m not performing. I’m not singing for others. I’m sharing healing, connection, and embodiment. Thank you for helping me see that.
This was the first time this particular group had gathered. After we chanted, someone shared how deeply connected he felt to everyone in the circle. That’s the power of the drum and of chanting — they weave us together.
That sense of connection and community is exactly what I’m here to help create.
Thank you for sharing your magic with me and for teaching us the are of drum circles
