- hi steffi! if my memory serves me (which it hardly ever does...!) we may have met in hawaii 03... ? i've talked with christine about the agape drum ministry. any chance you could tell me/us what you do there? i'd love to know "exactly" how you guide it, or not! but how it happens, what words if any are said, how it starts and ends... i'd love to hear! blessings on your work/passion. i look forward to crossing paths some day again. any chance you'd come to the dcf conf in arizona in march? i'll send you a flier...

I agree. It is "We" together that brings our community together as one.
Happy GROOVARAMA!

- Greetings John,
Thanks for your email. I did not put my name as I really feel It's not about me. The Sacred Rhythm Lodge is formed and exists because of each person in the circle as a collective. It is a "We" that make it happen. It is a true community based event of neighbors bringing other friends by word of mouth. There are over 50 of us that have continued to meet for over ten years now. It is open to all. I have never "advertised" this drum circle anywhere. It is not the kind of event.
I hope to share my insights and experiences facilitating this kind of circle, which is a little different than others as it is based in prayer and the works of Ernest Holmes as well as the Sufi mystics.
I will take your suggestion to heart and I appriciate your kindness in taking the time to communicate.
Cheerio,
Steffi

- Hi Steffi. My experience is that if people sign up under their own name rather than a company name they get more attention from the group.
As you have signed up under Sacred Rhythm Lodge, members may think you are just looking for advertising for your group rather than wanting to make a connection on an individual basis
Need any help ask me
John
