About the Event
Join us for a casual evening under the Full Moon!
We'll have a pot luck Feast, gather around the bonfire, and enjoy getting a chance to just hang out and get to know each other.
Plus, we're hosting our first official drum circle, facilitated by Mark Sawasky!
Mark Sawasky’s Drum Circle Facilitation
Mark facilitates drum circles that fully engage all participants, from beginners to advanced
drummers and musicians, while creating a strong sense of community. His approach is to teach
simple, accessible rhythms that people can play along with, add on to, and even solo from.
Playing rhythmic patterns for an extended amount of time helps each person relax, connect
with the collective heartbeat, and find their own place in the circle. In time, the drum circle will
find its groove and evolve into a beautiful, unified piece of music with multiple voices.
This event has a minimum donation amount of $10. All donations will go toward covering expenses for this event, and others like it here at the Wilder Grove.
