DRUMS FOR ONE & ALL
Announcements And Special Events
Drumming Bonfire at Wyldewood on July 19th in Westborough MA
Many of you in the local drumming community are familiar with Willy Dupree who often attends the various drum circles in Eastern Mass. He has recently put out an invitation to all the folks who may have taken part in a Drums For One And All event to join him on his property in Westborough for an evening of freestyle drumming and dancing around a bonfire. This is a free event and is open to anyone who has drummed with either myself or Willy in the past (or anyone who wishes they had). All you have to do is bring a drum or percussion instrument, a folding chair or blanket, some bug dope, a flashlight and some kind of snack to share. Wyldewood is the 50 acre forest that Willy owns, so there is no problem with annoying the neighbors with too much noise, because there aren't any! The fun starts at 7:00pm and goes til the last drumbeat is sounded. Some extra drums will be on hand for borrowing. I'll be providing facilitation as needed. Hope to see you there!

DRUM FOR PEACE Day Becomes An Annual Event
Drum For Peace Day is a co-creation of Drums For One and All, Spirit In Nature and the Cuvilly Earth Center in Ipswich, MA. This special event brings together the best elements of natural beauty, rhythmical connection and a theme that anyone can get behind - bringing peace to the world. This free, family-oriented event provides a wonderful opportunity to gather together with like-minded people and share our desire for peace while enjoying a lovely location and the fun of group drumming. It typically involves a facilitated drum circle, a meditative woods walk and a pot luck meal. No experience is required and extra drums are available for borrowing.
Because the of the positive response to previous gatherings at Cuvilly, all three organizations have agreed to host this event every Autumn (usually in October). Stay tuned for coming announcements on the date of the upcoming 2008 gathering.
