OneDrumThis drum is the sacred center of the Drummer's Mandala. Experienced drummers can come here to share the honor of holding the "One" of the rhythms, keeping drummers and dancers linked together. It will not always need to be played - many times through the evening there will be only chanting, rattling, or speaking - so be aware of the moment before you start playing. If one of the experienced fire circle ritualists steps forward to guide you while you are on this drum, please accept their wisdom with kindness and openness, as this drum can truly affect the entire mandala. |
