Drum Circle...We had a blast!

Richard Reiter, pictured here with his djembe, helped guide the return trip to spring at our Winter Solstice Drum Circle tonight. About 20 of us got together with an assortment of djembes, dumbeks, tambores, talking drums and cowbells to chase away the cold of December and the recent round of snow and ice storms. This was the perfect antidote also to the depressing events on the economic front. We were all reminded of how good it is for people to get together in one room and make music together. There is something undeniably primal about it - to participate in something our species has done for millenia.

How strangely remarkable that two local newspapers came to cover the strange phenomenon (people playing music together at the height of the retail season.)
Stop shopping! Make music!

Next month we'll move to the larger quarters at Encke Flowers for a salon concert.

We're looking forward to the spring, when we can move the circle outside of Tiger Lily and take over the streets of Teaneck.

A shoe in the hand...

.....is worth two at the Bush.

HFS!

Drum Circle and Fair Trade Sale

Don't miss our Winter Solstice Spiritual Drum Circle on Sunday, December 21, from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m.! The store will be open from 12:00- 4:00 p.m. for a special last-minute holiday Fair Trade gift sale (and of course, flowers.)

The drum circle leader, Richard Reiter, has conducted drum circles all over the NY metro area. He'll bring his own drums in case you don't have your own. Tiger Lily also has some beautiful Fair Trade drums available if you want to purchase one. This promises to be a hugely uplifting event for all of us who are rooting for Planet Earth as she makes the big turn around the sun. There is a $10 suggested donation. We'll have refreshments, too.
