Standing Chanters and Rattlers

This is the guardian/witnessing aspect to the SpiritFire Mandala. If you wish to be engaged but perhaps not by dancing or drumming at the moment, you can truly help the energy of the circle by standing at the perimeter of the circle and adding your voice and rattle to the mix. By being here, you support the physical boundary of the circle, giving the dancers and drummers a safe container in which to do their work. You can step in and out as Spirit moves you! We ask that idle chatter be kept outside the ring of torches and not at the perimeter of the circle; also, please watch to make sure you are not standing or dancing in place inside the dancers mandala itself, which would block the movement of other dancers around the fire.
