Life Force Arts Center Drummers - Rhythm Train

from Sounds of Life Force by Life Force Arts Ensemble

/

about

A live recording of Life Force Arts Center's monthly Open Drum Circle, facilitated by Cathy McManamon. Drumming is often called the heartbeat of Mother Earth. Drums of any kind, as well as shakers, tambourines, bells, sticks, vocals, flute, harmonica, body percussion, dancing, etc. are very welcome to this drum circle. LFAC's drum circle is a beautiful experience of listening to each other, and to the many spirits who come to visit us through the music. Michael Wisniewski is featured on harmonica in this recording.

Cathy McManamon, the facilitator, is a musician who plays a variety of instruments and has been drumming in the Chicago and wider Reclaiming communities for many years. She coordinates the Chicago area portion of the 10 Billion Beats for Global Peace, an annual 24-hour worldwide drumming wave every September. A ritual drummer who enjoys supporting group energy and dynamics, Cathy has facilitated open drum circles and rhythm workshops at MuseCon, scout youth and leader events, and most recently at Life Force Arts Center. She believes that we all possess the innate ability to create rhythms, and that our unique rhythms can blend and grow into a powerful experience that can be healing and transforming when we share them and let them flow together.
