Drumming Circle August 31 - Blue Moon Evening

Well, I'm gonna try something new - now that I have attended one short class on facilitating a drumming circle and know everything there is to know about it - I'm taking a leap and holding a circle here at the Yogatorium on August 31, a Blue Moon evening.  Thinking of beginning at 7:00 and ending by 9:00 - maybe earlier if we can't stand the sound!  Is there a volunteer facilitator among you?  If it happens to be raining, we'll go inside, but probably not for a long session - acoustics are terrible inside!   Well water will be supplied, but no other food or drink.  Share the word with friends - no fee, of course.

 

Namaste,

 

Jaquie

 

Meditation Hint - Non-judgment

Most of us have difficulty being satisfied with our meditation attempts.  Joan Borysenko on her CD accompanying her book "Saying Yes to Change" says Do not judge your meditation event.  Non-judgment is a difficult trait to cultivate, but is essential to accepting our meditation attempts as OK as they are.  Non-judgment allows us to continue practicing and encourages positive acceptance of our meditation as it is at the moment.
