Does a Drumming Circle Want to be Formed?

DOES A SHAMANIC DRUMMING CIRCLE WANT TO BE FORMED?

A picture of me with my drum brought more than 100 responses within hours.
That response made me pause — not from excitement, but from curiosity.

Why this image?
Why now?

Ted Redsky wrote to me: “The drum will teach you.”
My reply was: Teach me what exactly?
He answered: “A lot about what it is and needs, and a lot about yourself.”

So I listened.
And what I felt was a quiet invitation — not to create a drumming circle, but to listen for one.

I also remembered something from Gene Key 55:
that humanity is slowly growing into a subtle field of connection — an invisible web beneath ordinary life where presence and rhythm can meet.
Perhaps the drum is one way to touch that field.

So I asked myself:
Does a drumming circle want to be formed now?

When I looked at the responses in this group, I felt a longing for connection —
not for instruction,
not for hierarchy,
but for a place where people can show up as they are:
with a drum, a heartbeat, a story, and a willingness to listen.

So I will begin with one circle — only one.
A simple gathering to feel, with the help of our drums, the sense of joy and freedom.
If it unfolds naturally, I will continue.
If not, I will be grateful for the moment of gathering.

⭐ The Intention

The intention of this circle is simple:
To discover what our drum is teaching us — about itself, and about ourselves.
Not to fix, not to impress, not to perform.
Just to listen honestly, and let the drum reveal what is true.

A few words about me

I am a mother, a grandmother, and the author of A Listening Grandmother.
For many years, I have facilitated storytelling and deep-listening circles — simple spaces where people speak honestly and are heard without advice, judgment, or interruption.

My work is gentle.
Rooted in presence.
I come with no teachings or techniques to impose — only a drum, an open heart, and respect for whatever emerges when people gather sincerely.
