~UPDATE~
With the latest government updates and declaration of emergency - Friday Night Drum Circles will be cancelled until further notice. We are thankful for the proactive steps our leadership is taking in ensuring the safety and well being of our community. We will take the necessary precautions to keep you and your loved ones healthy with cancelling our events for the remainder of March and re-evaluating in April.

Last week, we had a small but mighty group attend the Friday Night Drum Circle. We set an intention to honour and send hope to those who are severely impacted by the necessary changes the COVID-19 pandemic.... our hearts and prayers are with you. and.... took some time to laugh, play, and drum up some positivity- offering up stress relief for ourselves and the entire planet!
-
-
I think it’s important to keep our focus on the temporary nature of the challenges we’re currently facing. Everything’s going to be OK!
-
-
I’m seriously impressed with those who are taking this time to do some inner work. Meditation, journaling, time in prayer, catching up on outstanding home projects.... I’ve been doing some of that myself! It’s actually been great! Spending more intentional time with my kids has been one of my highlights.
-
But what about those who are isolated? Alone?Elderly? Afraid?
-
We plan on offering a few live intention setting meditations/sound/drum journeys over the next few weeks over instagram & Facebook. Join us in these - the first one will be this Friday Night @ 7pm. Short and simple. We we will continue to gather in community.... through the strength heart consciousness.
❤🥁🔥🥁❤
Stay Tuned!
-
Be Well. ✌️

How crazy is this time right now with all the fear and worry about COVID-19!!? Just stop for a minute, connect with your heart, and take a few deep breaths..... ok... we’ll get past this in no time!

At this point, we have no reason to believe it necessary to cancel the FNDC gatherings for the foreseeable future. According to Alberta Health, the risk remains low.

I feel like this goes without saying, but I just want to make sure that as a community we take the general precautions necessary for any kind of illness - I’ll keep it short and simple: just stay home if you’re feeling unwell! Wash your hands regularly. And make sure to check in with yourself to ensure you’re in good health before coming to drum on the upcoming Friday Nights.

Other temporary precautions: We will omit the “hand holding” portion at the end of the circle of the FNDC for time being. We will also remind people to wash their hands and to use hand sanitizer before and after the drumming. Please bring your own supply hand sanitizer.

We want to ensure that even though this COVID-19 issue is seemingly ridiculous to many, for some with compromised health this is a very serious concern.
Let’s all do our part to ensure that the Friday Night Community Drum Circle continues to be a safe place for our community to come and gather and CELEBRATE our diverisity, to be filled with JOY, and to renew our HOPE for humanity!

I came across Circles of Rhythm drum circles over a year ago while my family was in the middle of a challenging transition. I was surprised to see such a large amount of community involvement. There was no need for any musical experience, yet there seemed to be quite a spread of musical talent to enjoy. My 4 year old daughter loves dancing, my 7 year old son has tapped into his musical appreciation, and I have found many cool, caring people from all demographics to build relationships with, and enjoy a night out.
We look forward to all future drum circles and events from this group of fantastic human beings. ❤🙏

Today we celebrate all the women who have given of themselves to shape our world. Circles of Rhythm has had a series of incredible Women walk through the doors as teachers and helpers within our community. From Judy Atkinson, founder of COR, to every single female volunteer who have given of their time and talents to help develop what COR is today, thank you! The strength of one woman can influence all things. I would like to take this time to acknowledge how fortunate we all are to be in the presence of such strong, courageous, and capable women.

@dm_lepage has been standing beside COR, supporting, celebrating, and honouring its foundational pillars for over 10 years. She contributes to COR in a way that often goes unnoticed. Danielle has given this drum circle community a renewed life & commitment to its mission. Behind the scenes, like so many other mothers, she accomplishes what can seem like the impossible to ensure the success and longevity of the Circles of Rhythm vision. This one goes out to all the women/mothers/mentors who give of themselves to help those around them THRIVE!

This is Jamie Gore.
My first drum circle brought me to my knees with wonder that something such as simple as playing some drums together could move me this much. I knew I wanted more. By my fourth circle I knew I wanted to learn how to lead! Judy Atkinson brought me under her big wing for mentorship. Six months later my dream became reality. I commenced a new career. Ten years later after well over 1000 circles for themes as varied as the people involved I have come to know one common thread. I care deeply about the people behind the drums. I have been so grateful to have facilitated for Circles of Rhythm not only personally but professionally. My heart will forever be profoundly moved by the power of this experience.
As I cross into the next chapter of life I will be embarking on new things (including drumming) up in Edmonton in 2020, but I can assure myself and all who know me that the beat WILL go on for me in all my future endeavours.

Deerheart : follow your path.
This drum will be the newest addition to our Friday Night Drum Circles, making its first appearance TONIGHT.
It was painted by the talented @wendydudleyart who has been an absolute gift to Circles of Rhythm. We have many drums that have been hand painted by Wendy.
This drum in particular has a deer, representing the Axis Mundi, as it becomes tree, its antlers with leaves, reaching skyward. The sunflower becomes the Sun, which gifts light to its sibling, the Moon. The rainbow is the bridge between the worlds, and hummingbird drops by with its blessings and prayers of Joy. And white lilies of Hope. The deer tracks around the rim are both buck and doe, the balance of feminine and masculine. The deer itself has the expression of a doe, with the antlers turning into branches becoming the masculine.
Deer is a compassionate being, recognized by various cultures as a fellow being who sacrifices itself for the greater good. It often represents Ascension.
• Painted drums carry a voice unique to their owner, but the voices of all drums sing together, connected through vibration for collective healing •

"Drumming entered my world at a period of time when everything I knew had dissappeared overnight. I was struggling with complexPTSD, suicidal episodes and needed to rebuild my entire world from the ground up. From my every first night at the drum circle something resonated deeply with me. The people are amazingly warm, welcoming and kind. They have become my new family. Drumming itself has changed my neurological world so much my doctor now prescribes it to others dealing with anxiety, stress and PTSD. My neurologist says it has helped rebuild broken neuro pathways and we both feel my blood pressure and general well being has changed dramatically for the better. The best part though is the level of energy and happiness I receive when I drum. The world is a better place with my regular drumming night shared with all the great people I have met along the way.
It will always be a part of my future."
