I really enjoyed the drum circle the other day. I am currently working on a research paper about rhythm for my Religion in the Arts class, and I was able to experience first hand, the drumming experience. Here is a quote I've come across from Mickey Hart, "Playing the drum has stimulated certain changes in my consciousness - my body awareness starts to fade, time disappears, instead of blood it feels like some other juice is pumping through my veins".
I also thought it was interesting to see the bald eagle before the drumming began. Kelly was explaining how shamans often led their drumming rituals. Siberian shamans often adorn eagle masks during their ceremonies to pay respect to their creation myths, in which the eagle is involved in. This being said, it was interesting to see the eagle around.
