Andrey- Drum Circle

The drum circle was an interesting experience. I remember going into it that it was repeated to us that we should not worry about what we are playing or how we are playing it, but just do it. Despite that, I found myself really thinking about how I sounded and if I was in rhythm. So as the circle progressed I began to stop thinking about how everything flowed and if I was doing the right thing, and began to relax and just move my hands with the rhythm I heard as if I were by myself just playing the drums and really feeling the music and moment. I think when you can do that you tap into the sacred and really lose yourself in being one with the sound and experiencing the "other."
