An informal group that began
meeting in friends' homes several years ago, the Women's Drumming Circle meets
the First Thursday each month, gathering to drum and play all
sorts of percussion instruments, and sing and dance as the mood strikes us.
Although the group started as part of First Unitarian Church, you do not have
to belong to First U to participate! Women are always welcome to drum in circle
with us!
On the Third Tuesdays, men
and women gather to drum together. Our schedule is published
each month in the First Unitarian Church of South Bend's
newsletter. For directions,
e-mail Marie.
On occasion, we form a chorus made
up of women from the drumming circle who choose to perform, donating their time
as a fund raiser for the church and other projects. We are interested in
performing at your Earth-friendly or Women's event! Drummers also make time
available to facilitate other drum circles. If you have any
questions, contact Diana or
Gretchen.
The
music we play is an eclectic mix of women's spirituality chants, Native
American and African tunes, with plenty of harmony. In 2001, we made a CD to
benefit a small village in Belize! Most of the songs, and poetry on the CD are
originals, written by members of the group from all over Michiana. You can
print out an order form online by going to the MUSIC link (above).
The CDs are also on sale at Moon Beads and Earth Wear on Bell
Road in Niles, Hoosierdad's Music in Mishawaka, and at First U -- see Peggy
after the Sunday Service or at one of our gatherings.
