Open Circles

Where To Drum

ONGOING CIRCLES, ETC - These can change without notice. Some are seasonal or just held for a stretch here and there. It's always best to contact the facilitator or facility before attending a new circle for the first time.
As some circles are one time only, ask to be put on the RFU E-Notes list to receive occasional updates on what is happening in the hand drum community.

 SPECIAL CIRCLES SHAMANIC CIRCLE - It is usually very small, and it is operated on a donation basis. Mostly a shamanic journey circle, but we do some drumming and dancing, as Spirit moves. 1301 N. Astor Street STE 06 (at the corner of Astor and Knapp Streets, on Milwaukee's lower Eastside). Call ahead, at (414) 289-8661 and any changes/cancellations are posted at www.shamanic-shift.blog-city.com The Friday night 7PM Shamanic Circle will meet formally when the Rev. Elizabeth is available and when there are 2 or more who call or email ahead ahead and pre-register, that is, who set their intentions to be present here for 1 to 2 hours of contemporary shamanic circling around for global transformation towards better and best. Calling or emailing ahead activates the intention to open a shamanic circle and begins the shamanic shifting of attentions around community and global troubles in need of shamanzing ahead of the last moment.
