Shamanic Drumming

"The spirits of nature create their own sound world and it is possible for humans to communicate with them through the sound of the drum." -Michael Drake

[spinpulse]

"One of the most universal methods for altering consciousness for the spiritual journey is a persistent, mesmerizing drumbeat." #michaeldrake #yoga #zen #flow #djembe #shamanicdrumming

"The qualified drummer penetrates into the invisible realms. While playing, the musician profoundly observes the invisible dimension of the dancer or listener to perceive whether this person is balanced or ill. [Upon assessment the drummer selects a rhythm in which the dancer or listener will meditate on until the healing occurs." Ya Ya Diallo

You can feel when a festival has spirit.

It flows through the gathering like a breath of warm air.

It is a life force that is composed of all who are present.  

It tickles you as it floats by, encouraging you to smile. 

It is made up of our song, our dance, our intention. 

Lucidity Festival had spirit. 

Can’t you see it emanating from my brother’s drum and caressing the crowd with it’s gentle flow?

*Transformational Festivals- a new radical type of gathering.

Like a good cup of tea or coffee, there isn't any better way to start your morning off than to energize yourself up with a morning drum circle potent with rhythmic energy.

Charging up the Lucidity dance floor with some rhythmic energy. Thanks to DJ Mikey Lion I was able to get in the pocket and play some hardcore soloing.

The Book Acid Dreams is like an LSD Soap Opera

[fleshcap-deactivated20210717]

Considering how much I love acid, it wouldn’t take much to get me to read a book about the history of LSD. The title alone Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD and Sixties Rebellion is enough to make even drug haters want to pick it up and read.

This story is so amazing that there are points where I have thought the visionary allies take on their very own intelligence and manipulate humans to become aware of their powers. Super far out and groovy. Not to mention this story is written so well it's hard to put down once you start.

Festivals

Spearheading today's neotribalistic movement are festivals like "Lightening in a bottle" and "Lucidity." These spiritual gatherings are centrally focused on reviving the sense of tribe, however an essential element has yet to attend. The power to resonate our experiences through ancient rhythmic power, like the tribes we model ourselves after, has yet to be harnessed. Soon we will resurrect our rhythm upon the masses.

Rhythmic Conquest

We are tribal rhythmic masters in search of beats and patterns. Scanning high and low through the peaks and valleys of California, engaged on a rhythmic conquest.
