SUMMARY:Friday Kinections - Drum Circle (Third Fridays)
DESCRIPTION:Kinstone + Connections = Kinections!\nAre you looking for more opportunities for to deepen your connections to self and others? Join us at these open gathering times when we can be at Kinstone together to strengthen the body\, mind and spirit. We will be offering various experiences on Fridays during our open season led by various teachers\, healers\, drummers\, yogis\, and others from the region.  Times are the same each week and they are always donation based. We hope you join us as often as you can. \nThe idea is for us to regenerate and renew our relationships to ourselves\, others\, and our amazing natural world. Come explore the mysteries of your inner landscape while sharing energies with the mystical\, magical landscapes of Kinstone. \nKinections Through Drumming on Third Fridays \nEvery THIRD Friday\, May through October\, join us for a drum circle in the Great Stone Circle. We welcome Cheri Bunker as our facilitator. Cheri is a trained drumming facilitator and has led many drum circles and programs that promote the positive effect of the drum on health. \nDrumming is an ancient practice that feeds the soul and the mind and is a great wellness tool with many documented health benefits. Join us outdoors in the midst of the energy of the Great Stone Circle. Each month we will do different types of drumming. For example\, one month may be all frame drums and another a mix of world drums and hand percussion; sometimes we may sit in a circle and other times we may move about or walk in rhythm. \nAbsolutely no drumming experience is necessary and if you do not have a drum\, one will be provided for you. If you do have a drum or hand percussion instrument\, please bring it along! Participants are encouraged to move freely within the circle with drums or dance to the primal beat. We will end each circle with a melodic rhythm meditation that is deeply moving. Please bring a chair or blanket for your comfort if you wish. \nThe facilitator will be present and drumming with the land and the standing stones each THIRD Friday; the energy exchange happening within Kinstone during this hour each week is so important. The more who join in the more connections can be made and deepened. Come on\, join in\, and make a “kinection”! \nNo registration is required. Rain or shine! \nLocation/Meeting Area: The group will meet in the Great Stone Circle as a general rule. If it is raining\, the group will meet under the pavilion of the Dragon’s Keep or inside the Chapel of Creation depending upon the number of participants. If there is thunder\, lightning\, or high winds\, the event will be cancelled. Come early and wander the grounds\, visit your favorite standing stones\, and get inspired. \nWhat to bring: water bottle\, mat and/or blanket\, chair or cushion\, and/or other items you wish for your comfort including your own sunscreen and/or insect repellent\, and a drum if you have one and wish to bring it \nCOST:  Admission to Kinstone…  and… the leaders appreciate a $5 to $10 suggested donation. \nThis is an informal\, donation based offering; which basically means come as you are and pay what you can using the suggested donation as a starting place. You must have paid your admission to Kinstone upon entering the grounds (either by credit card in advance online or in cash in the blue payment boxes on the information boards). There will be a separate collection point at the event where donations for the event will be taken. If you can pay the full suggested amount for the experience\, wonderful! If you can pay more than the suggested amount that would be awesome as you may be paying it forward for someone who cannot afford it. If you cannot afford the suggested amount\, pay what you can\, we understand. All are welcome no matter what their financial status is. We just ask that you make an honest donation. All donations go to the leader for the evening and to Kinstone for use of the space. \n\nWHAT IS A DRUM CIRCLE? \nA drum circle is a gathering of people playing drums and percussion instruments\, usually sitting in a circle and sometimes led by a trained facilitator. Participants have claimed that drum circles boost energy\, uplift spirits\, release tension and stress\, offer healing\, and promote community. \n\nFRIDAY KIN-ECTION EXPERIENCES \n\nFIRST Fridays: artistic expression sessions\, come make a prayer flag for our “Growing Family” art installation\nSECOND Fridays: group meditation\nTHIRD Fridays: drumming circles \nFOURTH Fridays: restorative yoga / movement sessions\nFIFTH Fridays: open practice; the fifth Fridays of the month (there are just 2 throughout the 2022 season) shall remain open for individual practices with no designated event\, theme or leader. If you arrive on a fifth Friday to engage in your own spiritual practice\, please make an honest donation in our blue payment boxes in addition to your admission to Kinstone. This is such an important energy exchange and helps Kinstone to be able to continue to offer these experiences. Thank you.

If it is raining\, the group will meet under the pavilion of the Dragon’s Keep or inside the Chapel of Creation depending upon the number of participants. If there is thunder\, lightning\, or high winds\, the event will be cancelled. Come early and wander the grounds\, visit your favorite standing stones\, and get inspired. \nWhat to bring: water bottle\, mat and/or blanket\, chair or cushion\, and/or other items you wish for your comfort including your own sunscreen and/or insect repellent\, and a drum if you have one and wish to bring it \nCOST:  Admission to Kinstone…  and… the leaders appreciate a $5 to $10 suggested donation. \nThis is an informal\, donation based offering; which basically means come as you are and pay what you can using the suggested donation as a starting place. You must have paid your admission to Kinstone upon entering the grounds (either by credit card in advance online or in cash in the blue payment boxes on the information boards). There will be a separate collection point at the event where donations for the event will be taken. If you can pay the full suggested amount for the experience\, wonderful! If you can pay more than the suggested amount that would be awesome as you may be paying it forward for someone who cannot afford it. If you cannot afford the suggested amount\, pay what you can\, we understand. All are welcome no matter what their financial status is. We just ask that you make an honest donation. All donations go to the leader for the evening and to Kinstone for use of the space. \n\nWHAT IS A DRUM CIRCLE? \nA drum circle is a gathering of people playing drums and percussion instruments\, usually sitting in a circle and sometimes led by a trained facilitator. Participants have claimed that drum circles boost energy\, uplift spirits\, release tension and stress\, offer healing\, and promote community. \n\nFRIDAY KIN-ECTION EXPERIENCES \n\nFIRST Fridays: artistic expression sessions\, come make a prayer flag for our “Growing Family” art installation\nSECOND Fridays: group meditation\nTHIRD Fridays: drumming circles \nFOURTH Fridays: restorative yoga / movement sessions\nFIFTH Fridays: open practice; the fifth Fridays of the month (there are just 2 throughout the 2022 season) shall remain open for individual practices with no designated event\, theme or leader. If you arrive on a fifth Friday to engage in your own spiritual practice\, please make an honest donation in our blue payment boxes in addition to your admission to Kinstone. This is such an important energy exchange and helps Kinstone to be able to continue to offer these experiences. Thank you.
