Lindsey Pritchett - Drum Circle at Lion's Bridge

Drum Circle at Lion's Bridge yesterday was my favourite day of this class. I absolutely loved sitting out by the river beating on the drum with my classmates, in rhythm. This has been a very stressful week. I've had 3 different papers due, a presentation and various other homework to complete. The end of the semester has created a very stressful environment and the work just continues to pile up. The drum circle erased all of this and allowed me to be free of the responsibilities of attending university for a brief period of time. Inside of the circle, my to-do lists didn't matter. Nothing mattered except listening to my surroundings and beating out my stress in rhythmic patterns. The energy drum circle created felt wonderful. I really liked how everyone got into it and really just lost themselves in thoughts and feelings, all expressed by beating on the drum.  Afterwards, my stress was completely erased and I was able to enjoy my evening. :-) Drum circle was incredibly therapeutic as well as spiritually cleansing.
