February Drumming Circle


The Drumming Circle evenings are always great fun.
This was only half of the group in attendance - you can
imagine the meditative sounds when a room of 15-20
people begin the rhythm of drumming. We are so grateful
and blessed to have Marilyn leading our circle, and thank
you to Yvette for the pictures.
