A. SPECIAL SPIRITUAL EVENTS (BLATANT PLUG FOR EVENTS DEAR TO MY HEART)
*************************************************************************

MONDAY, FEBRUARY 11TH, 7:30pm
(the 2nd Monday of every month)

TURIYA MEDITATION (TM): FREE INTRODUCTORY TALKS

Attend this free talk, on either evening. Hear about the practical and
spiritual results that effortless meditation can bring about, and see a
review of the powerful scientific research verifying these results. Find
out how to learn this ancient, yet modern technique, to use as a tool to
improve your life.

If you've ever wondered about meditation, if you've ever tried some form
of meditation that left you unsatisfied or frustrated, if you've ever
longed to wake up and remember your core Reality, if you've ever wanted
to unfold the 90% of our potential that lies dormant within us - you must
attend one of these talks, given by an expert, initiated into the ancient
vedic/yogic tradition of Masters, who has trained thousands of people over
the past 35 years!

Deep meditation unfolds the full 200% potential of life - 100% inner
peace & freedom, plus 100% outer dynamism, intelligence, creativity,
love, health, success, & happiness. This is the meditation described
by Maharishi Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras (the guidebook for yoga) -
the simple, natural, effortless meditation that brings fulfillment to
the practice of yoga, that establishes samadhi at the core of life, and
that brings (1) increased clarity of mind and intelligence, (2) better
health, physical coordination, and reversal of stress-related aging,
(3) more loving, compassionate, giving behavior, and deeper relation-
ships, (4) and the very real foundation for a peaceful society.

Modern life can be a very pressured and stressful experience; this me-
ditation is the most effective stress-melting technology in the world.

Held at the PremYoga Center, 1095 N. Military Tr., West Palm Beach
Just west of the Palm Beach Airport, 1 block north of Belvedere, on the
west side of Military Tr., across from Wal-Mart.

*** THURSDAY-TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH-19TH ***

Sunsport Gardens Mid-Winter Naturist Festival

Six days of fun, growth, community. Choose from over 240 activities -
New Age experiential workshops (health, personal growth, arts, relation-
ship, ecology, etc.), plus meetings about naturist/nudist activism. In
the evenings there will be inspiring musical performances, fire-perform-
ers, DJ'd partner dances, naturist videos, and bonfire drum circles (on
the 14th through 18th, 9pm-midnight). They also offer vendor booths,
an 87-degree olympic swimming pool, a huge hottub, a sauna, buffet food
service, fitness center, wi-fi internet access, fishing & kayaking ponds,
a children's playground, a jungle nature trail, 40 acres of lush tropical
vegetation, tennis, volleyball, horseshoes, and petanque. You can see
their entire Festival line-up of events by going to their website below.

Cost: $40 festival registration fee, plus $18/day grounds fee (admission)
per adult. Camping is $14/night (tenting - no hook-ups), $27/night (RV
with water/electric). Furnished tents are available for rent. A limited
number of cabins are available - please inquire. There are also nearby
B&B's and motels. On-site meals: $6 breakfast, $8 lunch, $13 dinner - or
$142 for all meals.

Editor's notes:
(a) Their Festival drum circles are great - with hundreds of people
around the huge bonfire - lots of good drummers, radiant dancers, fire
performers... The entire Festival is wonderful - plan to attend if you
can!
(b) Unfortunately, the Sunsport Gardens administration chooses to charge
loyal local drummers and dancers, who want to attend only the evening
drum circles and help make them more successful, the same price as some-
one attending the Festival for the entire day - a $40 one time Festival
registration fee, and an $18 per day admission fee. If you attended all
5 evening drum circles, you'd pay $130, or $26 each! If you attend only
one evening drum circle, you'd pay $58! Obviously, the drum circles make
sense if you are already attending this fabulous festival - but do not
make sense if you are just coming for the drum circles. Let them know if
this policy disturbs you.
(c) The regular weekly Friday night drum circle at Sunsport is obviously
replaced, for this weekend only, by these Festival activities.
(d) Sunsport is a clothing-optional community, a family naturist resort
founded in 1965. Nudity is completely optional (except at the pool/hot-
tub/sauna area); at the drum circles some drummers/dancers remain clothed,
but some nudity will be present; the atmosphere is very respectful.
(e) Drumming occurs around a big bonfire outdoors in the special drum cir-
cle clearing by the lake. Normally, in rainy weather, they drum inside a
building next to the pool. But during the Festival, that building is in
use each evening, so it's not clear what their rain alternative is.

*** WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2OTH ***

Full Moon Drum Circle - On the Beach

Monthly on the night of the full moon
Time: (there is some controversy) - some say that it starts at 9:30 or
10pm, others say 8 or 8:30pm. It continues till "very late", and is
free. Note: it's starting earlier now that Daylight Savings Time has
ended. Remember, it can be chilly on the beach during the cooler months -
dress accordingly.

Held at:
THERE IS ONGOING DEBATE WHERE THIS CIRCLE WILL BE HELD - at 85th St.,
75th/76th St., 10th St., etc. - in each case just east of Collins Ave.
(A1A) on the beach.
For some time, until November 2007, this drum circle used to be at the
85th St. beach. But the park security guards at the beach parking en-
trance have been cracking down on keeping people out of the park after
sundown (the posted closing hour). The postern gate at 85th St. has been
welded shut and the gates locked after sundown. Local drummers assumed
that the 81st St. gates would be shut too. In the last few months of
2007, police interrupted and closed down the circle. Also, several peo-
ple were arrested for substance use by undercover policemen on the beach
itself in October. So the drumming community has been discussing and
experimenting with where to go; as a result, the location has been ten-
uous, decided at the last minute, with different groups of drummers/
dancers showing up at different locations on the same night. For the
most up-to-date info on where they plan to gather this month, go to the
website/discussion group below.

Full Moon EVE! Drum Circle - On the Beach

Monthly on the night BEFORE the full moon
Times (there is some controversy) - some say that it starts at 8 or 8:30pm,
others say 8:30pm. It continues till "very late", and is free. NOTE: It's
starting earlier now that Daylight Savings Time has ended.

Held at: Please read the discussion about the full Moon circle above.
The same information applies here as well.

Some good drummers come the night BEFORE the full moon to avoid the chaos
of the full moon drum circle. Remember, it can be chilly on the beach
during the cooler months - dress accordingly.

*** WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2OTH ***

Full Moon Party - Tobacco Road Drum Circle & Music Jam

SPECIAL DRUM CIRCLE - OF INTEREST TO ALL THREE COUNTIES

*** FRIDAY, MARCH 21ST - OR - WEDNESDAY, MARCH 19TH ***

Tequesta Drum Circle (around a huge bonfire!) - Spring Equinox

EDITOR'S NOTE:
The equinox actually falls at 12:48am, Thursday March 20th, putting
Wednesday night, March 19th, as the closest evening by far. Yet the
organizers are advertising this event to be on Friday night, which
is far from the true equinox, and also competes with the March full
Moon drum circles on Friday night. Watch for further announcements
as this date issue gets discussed.

Every Solstice & Equinox - at the start of each season, 7pm till midnight,
$5 entrance fee per adult (kids under 10 free if accompanied by an adult),
fee goes toward event costs (insurance, hiring park rangers for the night,
etc.) - any money remaining is donated to the citizen support organization
Friends of Birch State Park, Inc.

* Includes: a roaring bonfire; a big (optional) potluck feast - if you
plan to partake, please bring a dish or drink that would be enough
for yourself; an Earth-centered ceremony to welcome in the season (at
about 10pm). Performers are very welcome - fire-dancers/spinners/breath-
ers will have a special area set aside and must show proof of insurance.

* "People of all life-affirming spiritual and philosophical paths are in-
vited to come together under the beautiful canopy of the sky, in a
preserved 'native Florida coastal habitat' It's an opportunity to
align our thoughts and energies with our own core of being, with the
seasonal shifts on our planet (Earth), with the energy effects of our
star (the Sun), and with the powers of the universe that form all
things (which you may call God/Goddess, Spirit, Nature, laws of evo-
lution, etc.). The Tequesta (tuh-kes-tuh) Drum Circle is named after
one of the ancient tribes who inhabited lands around SE Florida prior
to European and Seminole arrival - and gives us an opportunity to re-
member that legacy. Ceremonial dress is welcomed, but not required."

"This is a family-oriented celebration for those who hold the impor-
tance of our relationship to our home planet, the Earth. Come be a
part of the celebration, look up into the night sky, breathe, and re-
member our intrinsic connection to both planet and universe."

"Every 90 days or so our planet transits a key point on its journey
around our parent Star which shifts the balance of light entering into
our world. This light continually feeds a tremendously complex array
of living systems that have co-evolved for billions of years. The shift
creates a cascading ebb and flow of cycles in each hemisphere creating
what we know as Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall, and inspires us to
observe these natural transits of our planet as Sacred Days."

* Photography:
Please respect people. Do not take photos without permission!

* Editor's note: This is one of the biggest and best drum circles in our
area. It only happens four times each year (at the changes of season -
the solstices and equinoxes), bringing together drummers and dancers
from four counties for one big unified celebration. Don't miss it!
You don't have to be a good dancer or drummer - everyone is lovingly
welcomed and appreciated. You can drum (or play any percussion gadget
that you have), dance, or just watch and socialize.
